The Shepherd
Developed by MW Hashem
About the game — TGN editorial note
The Shepherd is a 2D single-player RPG in which a young city dweller heads into the Saudi desert, inspired by an old photo of his grandfather riding a camel. You raise and feed a herd, shear and sell wool, upgrade weapons and defend the flock from predators in turn-based fights driven by a timing bar rather than luck. It was made by Saudi developer MW Hashem.
