Sheepdog Simulator

You're a Border Collie. The flock is scattered across the dale, the light's good, and the far gate is open. Get them home.

Herd real-feeling sheep through a patchwork of dry-stone fields in the Yorkshire Dales — through gates, along walled lanes, and into the pen. The sheep aren't scripted: they graze, drift, pack together when you press them and leak around you when you don't. Get behind them, use your eye, and don't rush the gate.

How to play

  • W A S D — run about (camera-relative; hold Shift to sprint)
  • Mouse — look around (click to lock; scroll to zoom)
  • Right-drag — hold your aim and strafe
  • Space / E — jump (yes, you can clear a wall)
  • B — bark. Scatters sheep. Use responsibly.
  • C — over-the-shoulder / centred camera  ·  V — dog's-eye view
  • K — controls & settings (look sensitivity, field of view)

Features

  • A flock with a mind of its own — pressure-and-release herding, not sheep-on-rails
  • Levels that grow: more fields, more sheep, narrower gates, and increasingly bolshy livestock
  • A whole procedural corner of the Dales: winding lanes, gated fields, farmsteads, wildflower meadows and grazing flocks away to the fells
  • A modern third-person camera and proper collie movement — momentum, a flat-out gallop, and a lie-down when the work's done
  • Skylarks. Poppies. Dry-stone walls. The esentials.

Pen the whole flock to close the gates and move up a level. Or ignore the game and just enjoy the scenery.

Made with Three.js. Best played with sound on.
