No Brakes Games, the studio behind Human Fall Flat, announced Tiny Flock, a VR-exclusive physics puzzle game, on August 14. The game is planned for release within 2026 on PC (Steam) and Meta Quest, priced at $18.99. Players take on the role of shepherds guiding a flock of sheep across 21 handcrafted diorama stages. The game features a fully interactive world where players can touch and manipulate everything they see, using tools like a fishing rod with a carrot to lure sheep, building bridges, operating levers, or destroying obstacles to create paths. The physics engine was developed from scratch, and the game supports Meta Quest's hand tracking and passthrough features, allowing players to physically touch the stage. Studio CEO Tomas Sakalauskas said the team wanted to create an ambitious work that could only be realized in VR, despite VR's reduced popularity. The game incorporates the worldview and puzzle philosophy of Human Fall Flat while evolving it into VR-specific gameplay. Tiny Flock is being developed simultaneously alongside the studio's sequel, Human Fall Flat 2.
