The social gathering game “Mafia” has transformed from a detective investigation narrative centered on investigating suspects into “Werewolves” based on a religious witch-hunt narrative, enhancing the game’s social attributes and emotional experience. However, the various cumbersome and rigid unwritten game rules created by players, along with their efforts to turn the game into a competitive event and a “logical game”, have caused internal logical disruptions at the core gameplay level. “Goose Goose Duck” is grounded in the practical reflection of players and game designers on the overly serious, utilitarian, dull, and intolerant “Werewolves” game in the past. With the dynamic behaviorist logic created by virtual reality, relatively free private discourse, cooperative tendencies, as well as an anti-narrative and anti-lofty postmodern entertainment mindset, it presents a relatively peaceful, tolerant, and relaxed appearance. It shows the development possibility of positive social collective psychology in the dimension of “game realism”, prompting the real world to follow the path of virtual reality and move towards a cyber-governance approach characterized by equality among individuals, a diversified and non-utilitarian new-style scientism attitude.
