Gamescom & Playtest

Hi everyone!


gamescom is here and we're hyped to be able to show Herdles in Cologne this week!
We want everyone to join in on the fun, which means it’s also time for another playtest! 🎉

The playtest is live now and will run until Sunday, August 30.

For this build, we’ve added a few more things to discover around the Meadows including another Herdle you can finally meet:

Meet the Mothle!

Keep an eye out for some suspicious-looking flowers and give them a good BARK. You might just attract a new friend. 👀

Interact with more things!

We’ve also added more interactions around the world.

See a bush? Bark at it.

See something suspicious? Probably bark at that too.

Encounter a weird spot on the ground? Probably worth digging a bit there!

There are more and more little things to discover, so explore, experiment and let us know what you find!

As always, we’d love to hear your feedback directly on Steam or in our Discord community.
Your feedback helps us make Herdles better with every playtest. 💜

Thanks for playing and supporting Herdles!

Christian, Matthias, Thomas and Snoopy
