In Flock, you step into the role of a flying shepherd collecting adorable-looking creatures. How you’ll do this exactly is not entirely clear just yet, but it does involve flying on your own giant bird bud and soaring through wonderful alien landscapes filled with wild creatures, your flock following closely behind. It’s also a co-op adventure, meaning you’ll be able to sail through the skies with friends who’ll have their own weird bird legions.

The developers behind this delightful adventure are Hollow Ponds and artist Richard Hogg, who have released similarly charming games such asI Am DeadandWilmot’s Warehouse. Flock looks to be in a completely new direction than their other games (although I am getting Hogg’sHohokumvibes, which coincidentally was also announced as a hot-off-the-press Steam release today during the showcase) and the team says that their goal for Flock is to capture “the joy of flight.”
