You know, we haven't gotten or own hands on the plushy prototype yet, but we have it on good authority that its "just the right level of squishyness".

Enjoyed my time playing through the new @okomotive.ch game, Herdling today.

Impeccable vibes that remind me of Journey and Shadow of the Colossus.

It’s finally unseated Herdy Gerdy (2002) as the best herding game I’ve played. Not a high bar, but it’s something.
A screen grab from the game, Herdling. A boy in red shepherds a furry group of fantasy creatures called Calicorns up a snowy mountain pass. The cover art from the PlayStation 2 game, Herdy Gerdy. It featured a purple bear-like creature towering over the game’s protagonist who mirrors the same pose over a purple chicken-like creature.

Herdling by @okomotive.ch

Look at the adorable Calicorns! Herd them around beautiful landscapes & solve some light puzzles. Unsure if this qualifies as a walking sim? I defo enjoyed my time with the demo & not a rogue in sight!

Do you want to hug giant fluffy monsters and help them find family and home? Of course you do.

And that's why you need Herdling.
