How Long Is Herdling?
V1CGaming's review of Herdling
In having a minimalist approach to its storytelling and game mechanics, Herdling is able to bring closer attention to its overarching message about hardship and found families within nomadic, unhoused groups. It does an excellent job at balancing these themes in a digestible way, leaving you room to sit back and really take in what it’s trying to say. That it also manages to be an interesting survival game is just the cherry on top.
A Walking Sim With Extra Steps
The game is about herding animal from point a to b. It is a wordless walking sim but the score/music is really good!
It was engaging enough to keep me for its run time. It was ALMOST too long for what it was but I saw it through.
My only gripe is I was interested in the world and the who what where when and why... now the game hints at the world but it too ambiguous for me. Maybe I am too dim a bulb but I feel like there is more to enjoy but it eludes me.
