Herdware Signal by Seravlac
Cold night on the prairie with a fuel shortage. No sign of life or some shelter nearby. But you hear some signals. Follow them.
Herdware Signal is a truck-driving adventure about seeking the exit from a natural labyrinth.
Who sends you audio signals? Will you ever find the way out?
Do you want some milk? Answers don't matter - they are all just moo points.
Controls
- WASD - Move
- Mouse - Look
- Shift + R - Respawn (in case you got stuck)

What was amazing:
- the drive mechanics! Even though i got stuck a few times it felt pretty natural
- the atmosphere generally. very thick. also a huge fan, because its somewhat similar to our game haha
- graphics. very beautiful and detailed.
- map size: seriously, how big is that thing? i felt like driving forever
- Music creeped me out in all the good ways.
What felt off:
- I couldnt find the exit. I was hunted for a long, long time and eventually got killed. Maybe some clues would be helpful.
- There were some shadow artifacts, somewhat glitchy
- in the HTML version the mouse wasnt properly captured
Moo:

The car physics are really well done! I missed having a volume control or maybe making the ambient sound louder. The atmosphere is great!
PS: For some reason, it immediately reminded me of the secret cow level from Diablo II :D
At first I did not know what to do, but a restart cleared things up.
I got stuck on some terrain here and there, but overall had a spooky moody good time!
Great entry.
Very well executed overall.
Loved the atmosphere and the whole signal-following mechanic. I definitely got lost more than once, but it somehow made it feel more tense and memorable
