GAMEPLAY HINTS
You don't have to say what you think he wants you to say.
To avoid getting lost, use your mapand stay near landmarks like the river. To open your map, click / tap the map icon in the top-left or press [M] key.To get sheep to trust you, try toget close enough to feed them a carrot (click / tap the FEED button or press [F] key). You may have to use water, hills, or trees to slow / trap the sheep.Sometimes it's better to go back to the flock with just a few sheep. It's harder to bring back a big group ofsheep all at once.It doesn't always work out, but you know, that's life.
Diving through the ocean you meet a beautiful shark-woman, can you find love under the sea?
