Disney Dreamlight Valley's Goofy clearly doesn't understand personal space

Things get a bit awkward when Goofy comes to visit

Disney Dreamlight Valley is part adventure game, part life sim, with a massive sprinkling of Disney and Pixar characters on top. As such, you'd expect it to be a relaxing and cosy experience as you take on quests, engage in some fun activities, or simply take a leisurely stroll around the beautiful surroundings. And for the most part, it is. But the strange behaviour of some of Dreamlight Valley's famous inhabitants has unsettled players. 

The latest culprit is none other than Goofy. One Disney Dreamlight Valley fan has recently shared a video of their awkward encounter with the anthropomorphic dog on Twitter. The footage starts with the player casually viewing their collectables in the game's menu. But after exiting the menu and returning to the game, they get a fright when they see Goofy has suddenly appeared right beside them. In fact, the famous Disney character is now so close that his nose is touching the top of their character's head. Someone really ought to have a word with Goofy about the importance of respecting people's personal space.

And it's not just Goofy who's been acting peculiar; other Disney Dreamlight Valley characters have been too. Mickey's stalker-like behaviour has turned this laid-back life-sim into more of a horror title. While Donald's unhinged antics, like getting into a full-blown argument with a kitchen cabinet, have led fans to suggest he get some help to solve those anger management issues.

Disney Dreamlight Valley officially launched in early access last week. While fans get to grips with the game, developer Gameloft wasted time announcing the new content they'll have to look forward to, including a Toy Story expansion that will see Woody and Buzz Lightyear added to the mix. 

Sadly you can't throw Disney Dreamlight Valley snowballs at Donald to cool him off or at Goofy and Mickey to keep them away. These Disney Dreamlight Valley tips will help you get started with village life, however.

Originally from Ireland, I moved to the UK in 2014 to pursue a Games Journalism and PR degree at Staffordshire University. Following that, I've freelanced for GamesMaster, Games TM, Official PlayStation Magazine and, more recently, Play and GamesRadar+. My love of gaming sprang from successfully defeating that first Goomba in Super Mario Bros on the NES. These days, PlayStation is my jam. When not gaming or writing, I can usually be found scouring the internet for anything Tomb Raider related to add to my out of control memorabilia collection.
