Description
About This Game
Stand up. Keep up.
The Long Graze is a narrative survival game about a calf and its herd. The dry season has come. Led by the matriarch, the herd sets out on a long migration toward distant water. You begin as a wobbling newborn under your mother's watch — learning to run, to leap, to cross rivers — until the day comes when someone needs you.
Survive the journey
Graze & thirst — find grass and water; the drought won't wait, and falling behind has real consequences.
Wolves — they trail the herd's edges, waiting for stragglers. Stay in the center, or use the land for cover.
River crossings — the current takes the weak. Choose your ford. Wait for your moment.
Wildfire & night — flames close off the path ahead; darkness makes the wolves bold.
The herd is not a backdrop
Every member has a name and a temperament. Trust is built — and broken. How the herd treats an unlikely outsider will shape the road ahead. Separations, reunions, and sacrifices are remembered.
Loss is permanent
No reloads. The fallen do not return. How much of your family can you bring home?
About
Hand-crafted low-poly art, wordless storytelling, a complete 3–4 hour journey. Inspired by real animal migrations — and by every moment of finally standing up.
