Apple adds five new Arcade games as its free trial draws to a close

[ad_1] Inmost Publisher Chucklefish is best known for Stardew Valley and Wargroove, but Inmost, from studio Hidden Layer Games, looks like a very different game again.

‘Untitled Goose Game’ and ‘What the Golf?’

[ad_1] The music and sound effects are similarly minimal but completely appropriate for the game. In fact, the music is one of my favorite things in the entire game.
