About the game — TGN editorial note

Herdling is a wordless puzzle adventure in which a girl named Via leaves a grimy city to guide furry creatures called calicorns up a mountain to their home. With no combat available, players rely on stealth to slip past predators and hazards, and can rescue injured calicorns found along the route. Swiss studio Okomotive made it as its first 3D game, published by Panic in 2025, and it won the SGDA Swiss Game Award for Best Entertainment Game.
