About the Game

Herdling is a brand new adventure from Okomotive, creators of the atmospheric and acclaimed FAR games, and Panic, publishers of Firewatch.

Head out on a grand alpine expedition with a herd of loveable beasts, as you ascend a mountain path, encounter eerie dangers and surprising obstacles, and forge your way to the mystery at the summit.


Features:

  • Guide, protect, and fall in love with a motley herd of Calicorns

  • Traverse stunning mountainscapes, fog-wreathed forests, snowy plateaus, and forgotten valleys

  • Hone your herding skills as you navigate a wide range of challenges, threats, and light environmental puzzles

  • Feel the rush of the mountain air alongside your herd in exhilarating stampede sequences

  • An emotional, wordless tale of trust, survival, and companionship during a great crossing through a fallen world
