About the Game

Your first day as the new shepherd in the village turns into a dark nightmare. When you wake up at night to feed the animals, you find the barn empty. The animals are gone, the villagers act strangely, and everything hides a secret. Explore abandoned places, gather clues, and uncover the truth. But be careful—every step draws you closer to danger. In this village, it may not be only animals that have disappeared… perhaps it is humanity itself.

Features:
• Dark and Uneasy Story: A mysterious narrative centered around missing animals and strange villagers.
• Exploration-Focused Gameplay: No weapons, no combat; progress relies on observation and interaction.
• Tense Atmosphere: Silence, sudden sounds, and unexpected moments create constant unease.
• Night Experience: The game emphasizes fear and the unknown through darkness.
• Environmental Storytelling: Details and clues scattered around the village reveal the truth piece by piece.
