Strategy

Keep a living food chain in balance through every migration, drought, and cold snap.
Genetic Shepherds is a five-minute ecosystem strategy game where every animal, gate, and patch of forage matters.
Route grazers between paddocks, protect breeding bloodlines, feed hunters, and respond to drought, migration, and cold before the food chain collapses. Scan animals for useful traits, cultivate forage, carry key breeders to safety, and use lures and gates to shape the flow of the herd.
Features:
• A living forage → grazer → hunter simulation
• Inherited traits, mutations, family palettes, and visible lineages
• Fast five-minute strategy runs with changing crises
• Guided practice that teaches movement, tools, gates, and breeding
• Keyboard-and-mouse controls with a readable low-poly world
• LAN multiplayer support for 2–6 players
• Background music, ambience, and sound effects with separate volume controls
• Adjustable graphics quality
