Though much of the tension in Herdling comes from the fear of losing a member of your flock (and the game has its own way of dealing with grief), it is possible to turn off death for these creatures in the accessibility menu.

Had the chance to review the fantastic Herdling from

for

Herdling trusts the player to guide an expanding group of fantasy creatures to their mountain home. Along the journey, players will name, pet, feed, play with, and care for each of these individually unique animals. Herdling is one of the most special games I have played for this account.
