Gerdy, an apprentice herder, goes on a quest to rescue his father from an evil spell. His journey takes him across an island of diverse territories, populated by wild creatures that are part of a complex food chain. To avenge his father's nemesis and restore goodness to the island, Gerdy must develop his herding skills and compete in a tournament to become Master Herder.
The gameplay is primarily platform-based with strategy and puzzle elements. The levels involve Gerdy traversing hazardous areas with timed jumps, avoiding or destroying obstacles. A significant portion of the gameplay involves collecting animals, leading them onto a safe path. Each animal has its own behavior and skills (e.g. swimming), requiring the player to use different tactics to capture them.
