Herdling trusts the player to guide an expanding group of fantasy creatures to their mountain home. Along the journey, players will name, pet, feed, play with, and care for each of these individually unique animals.

Herdling from @okomotive.ch is a beautiful exploration of human and animal companionship.
Like the team’s past games, the Far series, Herdling has a lot to say without ever actually speaking a word in the entire game.
