About

Panic Inc. acted as the publisher for the hit stealth-puzzle title Untitled Goose Game, developed by House House and released in 2019. The company also oversaw the game's physical releases, including the 'Lovely Edition' in 2020. Their publishing portfolio is characterized by supporting unique, indie-developed video games.
The commercial and critical triumph of Untitled Goose Game established Panic Inc. as a major force in indie game publishing. Following the initial digital launch, Panic coordinated the game's expansion to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One platforms. In 2020, the publisher capitalized on this momentum by introducing a major free update that added a two-player cooperative mode, allowing players to cause double the mischief as a pair of geese. This update coincided with the game's highly anticipated release on Steam and itch.io.
To satisfy collector demand, Panic partnered with iam8bit to distribute physical versions of the game. This collaboration yielded the standard retail copies and the specialized Untitled Goose Game [Lovely Edition] for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. The Untitled Goose Game [Lovely Edition] distinguished itself by utilizing 100% recyclable materials, including eco-friendly paper and non-toxic inks, aligning with the game's pastoral setting. Through these strategic releases and platform expansions, Panic successfully sustained the game's cultural relevance and commercial longevity well beyond its initial debut.
