Hubert Sheepdog Game Sets October 13 Steam Release
The demo's Very Positive rating and Best Game win at Game Access 2026 suggest the herding mechanic has landed, leaving the full story's wilderness mystery as the open question for the October release.
Reporting from 1 source: Automaton.
Brocap Studio will release Hubert, a third-person adventure where players guide flocks of sheep as a sheepdog, on Steam October 13 (October 12 local time), with a PS5 version due in October. The Czech indie studio includes staff who worked on Mafia: The Old Country, Last Train Home, and Crime Boss: Rockay City. A demo on Steam since February holds a Very Positive rating, and the game won Best Game at the Game Access 2026 Indie Awards in May.
Hubert is not a herding dog by trade. He follows Lily, who saved him from drowning in a river, and the pair take a job posting that reads 'Experienced shepherd with dog wanted' from the most difficult farmer in the valley. The sheep follow Hubert's movements but startle and scatter when he barks, a habit described as 'goldfish-level' concentration, so the player runs around the flock to steer it. Scent tracking shifts the screen's color and draws ground traces as lines, and wolves beyond the fence bring combat. The farm days run parallel to a mysterious 'call' echoing in the wilderness that Hubert cannot explain.
