SHEPHERD
Field Team A513-2, codename “Shepherd”, has been task to retrieve data from a closed military laboratory. It is supposed to be an easy job for Jody, Nova, and Cooper, but abnormalities begins to appear as they venture deeper into the facility. Separated teammates, inconsistent clock readings, disagreement over the order of events, etc.
As the handler of the team, should Jody call the team back as a precaution or fulfill their duty of figuring out what’s going on? Is everything just equipment malfunctioning or is there something bizarre going on? Who is the real Shepherd and who is being herded?

I loved playing this game! I got 3 ending I think. Even the very short one when we
//SPOILER// abort the mission very fast and they got in the van safe is a relief XD I got it after the very bad one when both of our collegues are trapped forever !!!
I like it that it was kinda horrific game but you have a "safe place" in the van, but you have a duty to help your friends!
I find it very creative and really good job for this :) I would pay to play this!
Keep making games please ! You're inspiring !!
Absolutely blown away by this game! One of the best games I've played on the game jam yet! Loved the art and very interesting concept!
From the 5-10 min time I got to play this game I am absolutely blown away by what is here. The amazing 2D artstyle fits this game so well. The fun and engaging mechanics, kept me hooked on the story and what was going to happen to our trio of brave investigators. I can't wait to play more of this!
Gorgeous game, and so cool to play. Great job.
heyo! im a game dev and the last thing I worked on was my submission for the brackeys game jam. i came across your previous game there too (and you may have seen mine too)
anyways stumbled across another one of your submissions here again and im absolutely obsessed with how good these games look (like seriously). if you are working on any future jams and you need a programmer/artist/3d artist i would absolutely love to be onboard. my contacts are in my creator page if you're down :)
I like what is here quite a bit! Can't wait to see how this project grows.
