The premise, in the publisher's words

In Shepherd, take up the enchanted crook of your ancestors to lead your small herd of 7 unique sheep from your remote village, through the beautiful desert environment, and onwards to civilization. The village is relying on you! As you navigate the environment, your sheep will, for the most part, travel alongside you in the direction you are traveling. However, the sheep can have minds of their own and decide to go against the grain, wandering off on their own! Each of the seven sheep has its own unique quirks which may present themselves when they engage in this sort of misbehavior, so try to pay attention! It's up to you to round up any sheep that wander off on you! Care for your sheep!…
