Guide a herd of mysterious creatures on a stirring and beautiful journey into the mountains… and beyond.

Runs well on modern hardware.
After finishing the journey, you can't help but wonder: Did I really find them all? Maybe there was one Calicorn hidden somewhere that you missed. Maybe one was waiting for you in a place you never thought to look. And if you didn't find it... did it simply never make it out? There is something incredibly satisfying about looking at all those creatures following along, trusting you to lead them. It's a surprisingly touching lesson about responsibility, care, and attachment wrapped inside a visually stunning adventure with fantastic music. It manages to make something as simple as leading a herd from one place to another feel meaningful. Take your time, look everywhere, and please—don't leave a Calicorn behind.

This is a truly good game. I generally don't write reviews but there's such masterful storytelling with no words. Genuinely I think the only words are the controls. everything else is handled via imagery. I got so attached to my herd I cried when it was over.
