About Shepherds
Interested in teaming up with family and friends for a cooperative adventure and experiencing the thrill of puzzle-solving in a game world? Join "Song of the Shepherds" and enjoy the fun of human-animal teamwork!
Tower of the Dragon The Black Dragon awakens, and the volcano erupts. By a twist of fate, shepherd Zoe and the magical wolf Kin find themselves in the ancient shepherd's temple where the Black Dragon is sealed. Despite their natural enmity, they must collaborate to venture deep into the heart of the volcano to the Tower of the Dragon, find a way to save their island, and make their escape.
Spirit of Sound Within the ancient shepherd's temple, many mythical creatures dwell. Some assist Zoe and Kin on their journey, while others cunningly obstruct their path. Observing these creatures' traits and cleverly using their own abilities, players will experience an adventure of musical puzzle-solving and platform jumping. Song of the Shepherds In the temple, shepherd Zoe inherits the legacy of ancient musical magic, and the magical wolf Kin awakens the power of frost. Combining their abilities, they perform the Songs of the Shepherds, rescuing trapped music spirits, purifying the ancient shepherd's temple, and ultimately unveiling the sealed truths.

"Shepherds" is one of literally thousands of student projects infesting Steam. It's from University of Southern California in Southern California. While student projects tend to be better quality than most "amateur" made games, we must still question what value such projects have for gamers. As with all student projects, this isn't really a fully fleshed out game, it's just the result of an academic exercise, and as such it has much more limited value as a game than a professionally developed game would have. Educational institutions should not be using Steam as a dumping ground for homework assignments (especially if the students didn't even pass the course). Sure, it helps their marketing and helps the students feel good about themselves, but this is another case of a business putting themselves before the needs of gamers. This is an unusual 3D rendered top down co-op adventure puzzle game where the puzzles are solved with some musical gimmicks... But this isn't a full game, it's just a prototype for a game that was never, finished, never polished, massive breaking bugs never fixed, and the students thought it would be okay to dump this on Steam in an utterly broken and un…5 found this helpful
As the description notes it is an unpolished experimental prototype. Despite some issues it was very fun to play through the short game and would make for a fun full-fledged game to play with a friend.1 found this helpful
Took like 30 minutes to get it working, not for one second did we play without experiencing bugs. Had to stop when the wolf (me) glitched into the ground and got stuck in a loop of respawning and dying (ouchhhhhh). not very good but i did laugh1 found this helpful
I would recommend this game to people who have lots of patience and time. I liked the style of it, the concept as well. It is super glitchy and we had to restart it a lot, rewatching unskippable intro, but I had lots of fun. Thanks! P.S I hope in the future it will be modifyed, polished and longer!
Seems like a game programmed by students for a university project, and as such is fine. Aesthetics are nice, voice acting and controls are bad, but is good enough to spend a half hour
