You stand at the gate. The dog works the flock. You don't move, you don't pathfind — you pick one of five commands and trust the dog to read the field. Real shepherds command their dogs over distance with a handful of short whistles: tiny bandwidth, precise meaning. The whistle is the signal.

Controls — four keys, five whistles

Key	Whistle	Dog
← / A	Come Bye	Orbit CW around flock
→ / D	Away	Orbit CCW around flock
↑ / W	Walk Up	Advance on the flock (pressure)
↓ / S	Stand	Stop, release pressure
↓ / S (while stopped)	That'll Do	Come home to shepherd

Whistles latch until replaced. HUD pills click too (touch fallback).

One year, four short levels — :cherry_blossom: spring, :sunny: summer, :fallen_leaf: autumn, :snowflake: winter.

Scottish Borders.

No score, no timer, no Game Over — it ends quietly.
