> You also need to have a good title that is both memorable/catchy and describes the game well.
I feel like "get the goat" was just screaming to the be the name of this title. (they even use this term in some of their marketing)

Maybe it's okay for a game that has lots of DLCs and a Deluxe version that comes with all (or the most important) DLCs. But nothing else.
But from initial launch? Just no, that is just stupid.
I agree that the name of the game contributes a lot to this confusion, although even "get the goat" fails to describe what is going on in the game.
I think when people see a game and are contemplating purchasing it they envision what kind of fun they will be having with it. And gameplay footage with unclear goals just isn't enough here.
"Keepaway" style games aren't super common (maybe it's in a Mario Party minigame? I've also played a version of this with my kid in roblox [1], where it's one minigame among many). Maybe along those lines this title would have succeeded with more variety.
