You're a shepherd's dog. Your master is a vampire. Don't ask why, you're just a dog. Don't let the sheep flock run away and get eaten by wolves. Complete your master's tasks. If you fail, you'll be replaced. Or whatever your bloodhungry master deems to think will be justified punishment. So... Be a good dog. 

Good luck!

Important! At the first launch in the browser and at the first press of the start button the game can hang up to 30 seconds, while it will load textures and music.
If possible, play the native version, as in wasm version the sound can sometimes freeze up a bit, and also wasm version can produce much lower fps. (30 to 50 fps on my machine in wasm, and stable 60 always in native)

Instructions for the game:

  • Press W/A/S/D to run. 
  • Spacebar for barking.
  • Shit + W/A/S/D to run fast. However, fast running wastes your stamina.
  • Ctrl "STRONK BARK": bark with power and in a large radius. Spends your stamina very quickly.
NOTE FOR WEB PLAYERS: Be careful doing "STRONK BARK" while moving, because if you press ctrl + w, the tab closes.

Your task is to keep at least half the herd from being eaten by wolves by the end of the day. And also not to fail the tasks from the shepherd, which will be shown at the top center. 

Wolves only eat sheep outside of safe zones. Safe zones are marked with orange lines and light circles around torches. The torches may become faded and the safe zone around it will disappear. If this happens, bark next to the shepherd so that he wakes up and lights the torches again!
