Description
Guide a herd of curious creatures on a stirring and beautiful journey into the mountains… and beyond. A brand new adventure from Okomotive, the 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 while discovering new friends, encountering eerie danger and surprising obstacles, and forging your way to the mystery at the summit.
History
Riding on the success of the "FAR" series, the team embarked on an ambitious new IP. "Herdling" is a tale of a person guiding a herd of curious creatures on a stirring and beautiful journey into the mountains. It is Okomotive's largest and first fully featured 3D game. In late December 2022, Okomotive partnered with Panic, the renowned US-based publisher behind acclaimed titles like Firewatch and Untitled Goose Game, as well as the innovative Playdate handheld console. The partnership was officially unveiled in August 2023 and the game is scheduled for release in 2025.
