3D Shepherd Simulator with a Mutating Flock.
Shepherd sheep in the mountains where nature rebels against man. By day, the sheep protect you from natural anomalies, but by night, they transform into bloodthirsty monsters. Care for the flock, survive nocturnal attacks in the pen, and lead the herd to the summit.
In daylight
A shepherd leads his flock to graze on the mountain slopes while exploring a deserted area. The sheep act as protection for the shepherd against natural anomalies, but this only lasts until sunset…
As soon as the sun dips below the horizon, the sheep stop grazing and begin to act strangely: some suddenly lunge at their owner and start darting across the field as if possessed by some unknown spirit. The shepherd has no choice but to lead the flock back into the pen.
On a dark night
The situation is worsening: a storm rages outside the enclosure, and natural anomalies are manifesting more intensely. The shepherd hides in the kennel with his flock, trying to survive until morning. He witnesses something terrible: some sheep grow an extra pair of heads and become so aggressive they are ready to devour their owner alive.
The shepherd understands one simple truth: on this mountain, his sheep are both his greatest threat and his sole defense.

Target Audience
Indie game lovers looking for a fresh, atmospheric, and unconventional experience—from young people tired of one-dimensional projects to fans of cozy games and psychological horror seeking deeper emotions and unique worlds. They are united by an interest in distinctive games with a unique style, mood, and meaning.
Sound
In OTARA’s music, the sound of ethnic instruments, such as the duduk and changgu, is recreated to maintain the atmosphere of the mountain landscape.
Furthermore, in OTARA, spatial sound and immersive soundscapes are used to create the atmosphere of a mountainous region, conveying its scale, depth, and feeling of isolation.
History
Escaping the hustle and bustle of the city, the protagonist returns to his hometown village, only to find it deserted: nature has risen up against humanity, and the sheep have transformed into aggressive monsters. As he climbs the mountains, he learns that the former inhabitants once revered the spirits of nature but eventually forgot them and depleted the land’s resources. Humanity has invited the wrath of nature, which forced them to pay for their negligence and abandon the mountain forever.
