The author has an enduring affinity for melancholic stories across various media, including shows like The Leftovers and games like Rime. Their anticipation for Herdling, an upcoming game by Okomotive, stems from its potential for heartbreak and emotional depth, similar to previous titles from the studio. Herdling centers on guiding displaced calicorns, with a narrative revealed gradually, inviting players to uncover its emotional arc through minimalistic storytelling and aesthetic parallels to the developer's earlier works.
Herdling seems like it will be heartbreaking, and I'm ready to hurt.
The demo I played quickly got me acquainted with the controls, guiding the calicorns will be a deliberate learning process.
Herdling asks players to piece together its story without any spoken words or clear context, revealing meaning gradually.
The game's visuals maintain the autumnal, earthy colors reminiscent of Okomotive's previous titles, enhancing its emotional impact.
