You are a shepherd, who travels the through a dangerous land with his sheep towards a mysterious goal. Protect your sheep, avoid or lure predators into traps. Your loyal dog will attack predators on sight, but he is not really fit for battles, so...

Use Arrows to move
Use Space to shout (it scares the sheep and predators away for a bit)
Use R to run
Use S to light up your staff (does nothing)

Thoughts:
- lots of things don't work, or were cut, like burning bushes, eating berries to resore health, being able to command the dog, story that evolves through multiple runs...
- theme - I am not sure if a shepher's journey fits into the theme of "small world" but you you reach the end you might find out more...
- sound/music (there is none, ran out of time) :cry:
- optimisaiton - game is quite laggy at the start due to loading a ton of objects on the long (probably too long) level.
