Herdling - Wild Boar - 10-05-2025
Herdling is a brand new adventure from Okomotive, the developers of the atmospheric and acclaimed FAR games, and Panic, the publisher of Firewatch.
Embark on a grand mountain expedition with a herd of lovable animals, climbing a high-altitude trail, encountering eerie dangers and surprising obstacles, and making your way to the mystery at the summit. Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/3047750/Herdling/
My heart is heavy, as I had to leave my beloved Calicorns behind. I rescued each and every one of them from a difficult situation, only to find that despite the “can't die” mode, I lost at least one. WhiteBeauty, Belle, Grimmbart, LittleOne, Flauschi, Panic, Eule, Beauty, and many others made it and are now back in their homeland.
Many complain that there is no backstory to the rescue and the boy – and they are right. But that's not the point. The point is the dangerous journey, which becomes really stressful towards the end with the icy winds and collapsing ground.
Take care, my friends – we'll see each other again.

This was absolutely one of my favourite games from last year and I grew so attached to all my critters.
After doing anything even remotely perilous, I would stop the herd and give them all pets and attention.

I couldn't stop playing with the playful Calicorn Ball. He found every ball without fail.
For a while after the game ended, I logged in just to cuddle.
It was the first game I ever started again right after finishing it. It even made sense because I understood the Calicorns' behavior better.
It's also the only game I really miss.
You can buy your own Calicorn, if you want https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3047750/view/624438963127452270

Oh, I love that plushie, but those kinds of things are always a nightmare shipping to Australia. (Costs nearly double and the exchange rate is not in our favour.
