Play Overview
Flock (2024) is a cooperative traversal and collecting game where you take on the role of a flying shepherd. To play you move around the world tending to your unique herd of flying creatures. It sounds complicated but really it's just exploring a big wild place on the back of a bird. There's plenty to discover and new creatures to adopt, or you can just spend time hanging out with your friends.
You start with just a small herd of hover-sheep, but as you nurture them with fresh pastures you soon discover new creatures to entice to join your flock. Each one only comes out at certain times of day and in certain conditions. They are each a strange combination of fish, birds, snakes and other animals. With a bit of skill, you can charm them to join your flock.
As you progress and your flock grows, they generate wool that you can shear to make hats, cardigans and even socks. In this way, you work with other players to discover new species and generally explore the land together.
The result is a wild playground filled with creatures to meet and tame. You can set about collecting the biggest flock, or you can just take your time and enjoy flying around without the need to achieve anything.
