The game is a VR-exclusive physics puzzle adventure in which players take on the role of a shepherd guiding a flock of sheep to a safe pasture. Players can manipulate almost everything in each diorama-style stage, stacking objects to build bridges, pulling ropes and levers, throwing items, or breaking obstacles to carve a path. The game includes 21 stages and supports hand tracking and passthrough on Meta Quest, with the Steam version supporting hand tracking via Steam Link. The physics engine is custom-built from scratch. Tiny Flock is scheduled for release within 2026 on PC (Steam) and Meta Quest, priced at $18.99. Studio CEO Tomas Sakalauskas said the team wanted to create an ambitious work that is only possible in VR, even though the platform is not as popular as it once was. The game inherits the puzzle philosophy of Human: Fall Flat while evolving it into VR-specific interactions.","whyItMatters":"The announcement reveals that No Brakes Games is developing a new IP alongside the sequel Human Fall Flat 2, signaling a deliberate bet on VR at a time when the studio's CEO acknowledges the platform's reduced popularity.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe announcement trailer shows the player dangling a carrot on a fishing rod to lure the sheep, while also using hands to directly interact with the stage.
