About this game

An Other Golf Game is an open-ish world sandbox life sim with survival, permadeath, and, golf. You’ll have to figure out how to make money, navigate the world, and survive long enough to hit the course. There are no tutorials, and no hand-holding. When you die, you start over.

What to Expect

Expect to be beaten by the game many times before you beat the game.

Expect to get lost when trying to find the golf course, then getting lost again when you try to go home.
Expect to be confused about how to take clubs out of your bag once you put them in.
Expect to be frustrated that you can't hit a ball when you are not looking at it.
Expect to treat some aspects of the game as a puzzle.
Expect to not know where the save locations are.

Expect to be bad at golf unless you make an effort to learn the mechanics and try to improve, there is a driving range after all.

Expect to figure out how to find and complete odd jobs just to afford more clubs so you can eventually build a full set.

Expect to shank it and subsequently wasting time looking for your ball in the tall grass.

Expect stupid high medical bills, welcome to the US.

Expect having to figure out how far you hit the ball and doing some basic math to determine which club is the right choice for the current situation.

Expect the usual early access quirks like weird Unity physics, janky moments, and frustrating deaths.
Expect a unique, extremely challenging golf experience that takes a long time to master.

♥ Transparency Section

This is a passion project created by a solo developer who has worked various jobs at golf courses, from washing carts to caddying and everything in between. If you're interested in a life sim golf game that attempts to truly capture the frustrating essence of golf, this one might be for you.

I encourage you to join the discord or post in the Steam forums if you have any questions or want some help. Like golf, this game is purposefully not easy and attempts to align more to what the real golf experience is truly like. If you have any questions, reach out, I am happy to push you in the right direction.
