Overview

  • The game is available now on Windows PC following its launch today.
  • Players guide Calicorns across urban ruins and alpine terrain by steering the herd as a single, malleable mass with a shepherd’s staff.
  • Reviewers highlight quiet bonding rituals such as campfires, grooming, decorating horns, and feeding that build emotional connection.
  • Critiques note control friction as the herd grows and tense sequences with crumbling paths and giant owl predators.
  • Developers cite real Swiss hikes for the landscapes, and the score by composer Joel Schoch draws praise for shaping the journey’s momentum.
