What it is about
Welcome, shepherd. This summer, you will be responsible for tending a thousand sheep as you travel from place to desolate place in search of forage. You will have some dogs to help you and if you're lucky, you might find a horse, too. This solo journaling game is a hack of Takuma Okada’s 'Alone Among The Stars' and is partially based on my own experiences herding sheep in the Rocky Mountains of Montana. I hope through it, you can learn a bit about the dying American sheep-herding culture.
