Hey everyone,
I've extracted the text from the To-Do lists in Untitled Goose Game for my own study and I figured I might as well share them as well, in case anyone would be interested.
It just makes it a little bit more convenient to look things up outside the game using a tool like Yomitan, or whatever you prefer for studying Japanese.

The game is fairly short but it's a lot of fun, and the Japanese is fairly beginner friendly. You play as a horrible goose who goes around making life worse for humanity.
There's no furigana but the amount of kanji is limited and of course you can look things up outside the game. If you study the list for each stage as you come to them then it should be fairly manageable.
If you can play this game to the end then you will have comprehended and meaningfully interacted with the 30 to 50 different statements in Japanese. Which should help you to understand the mission statements and so on in a more complicated RPG. You of course still wouldn't understand every word of dialogue, but it would help to make some of those games at least playable.
If anyone would actually use them then I could even make some Anki decks for the kanji and vocab. Because that was a thing I had no idea how to do when I was starting out.
