About the Game

Sky Shepherd is an atmospheric adventure game where you play as the lone survivor of a skyfaring tribe. Use your flute to round up a herd of mysterious creatures and explore the sky with them aboard your glider.

Flying with the herd is faster and more fun than flying by yourself. You can send them off to investigate the ancient ruins scattered throughout the area, and they'll help you find your path. However, the world is dangerous, and you'll have to fly carefully to keep your new friends safe!
