Shepherd

Shepherd is a game about leading and caring for a herd of seven unique sheep. You take up your ancestors’ enchanted crook and guide them from your remote village through a desert toward civilization, on a journey the village relies on you to make.

Lead your herd

Your sheep generally follow in the direction you travel, but they may wander off. Each has its own quirks when misbehaving, so you need to watch them and round up any that stray.

Care for your sheep

Keep track of each sheep’s hunger and thirst, and find food and water in the environment when they need it. If they go without sustenance, you risk losing both their trust and their lives. Fulfilling your duties as their caretaker builds their trust and friendship, making them less likely to misbehave.

Protect them from danger

The desert holds thorny brambles, snakes, poisonous flora and a prowling coyote. These hazards can be minor inconveniences or serious threats to your sheep’s health, so keep watch and help them through any obstacles they encounter.
