Description

Sheepscape is a small, focused farming sim that pours all of its care into one thing: a flock of sheep, and the craft of raising them well. Take a handful of muddy ewes and build them into a prize-winning herd, one season at a time; a complete, satisfying loop you can sink into for a cozy few hours rather than a hundred-hour grind. Herd with a clever dog, shear by hand, sell the wool, and breed a finer flock, from your first muddy field toward the open highlands.

History

Sheepscape is the debut title from Lemur Tango, a small UK studio founded by Ed Thorley. Built on a custom simulation of real flocking behaviour, it grew from a single boid-herding prototype into a full shepherding loop - herding, shearing, a livestock economy, and seasonal breeding - wrapped in a clean, minimalist top-down style.

Sheepscape was announced on 15 July 2026 and opened a Steam Playtest in August. The free demo came to Steam on 29 September, ahead of Steam Next Fest in October, and the full game releases on 5 November 2026.

Features

  • Herd a real, flowing flock with a faithful Border Collie and run more than one dog to sandwich the flock as your farm grows.
  • Shear your sheep by hand in a satisfying, hands-on minigame; a cleaner cut means a higher grade.
  • Sell & trade wool and buy fresh stock at the livestock market.
  • Breed across the seasons: autumn mating, spring lambing, lambs that trail their mothers and inherit breed, sex and quality.
  • A living calendar - grass regrows, sheep age and pass on, and the flock finds its own natural balance.
  • Different breeds to discover as you continue your journey (Suffolk, Black Welsh Mountain, and piebald Jacob); each with its own look.
  • Minimalist top-down style; speed time up or pause to suit the moment.
