New Zealand has Black Sheep, and soon Scotland will have Flock Off!, the debut title from Bunkhouse Games and publisher Shoreline Games. This 1-4 player co-op PvE game drops players into an alternate reality Scotland in the early 90’s, where a scientific experiment to clone sheep has gone horribly awry, leading to what is being locally referred to as the ‘undead zombie sheep uprising’.
With herds of the vicious livestock roaming the Highlands looking for their next victim, players must arm themselves with anything they can – bedrolls, traffic cones, chainsaws and more as they battle wave upon wave of monstrous sheep, lamas, highland cows, and other ferocious undead.
Coming to Steam later this year, several different sheep-killing modes will be available at launch. Those who prefer to handle their zombie sheep culling unobserved can head out solo, and for those who would rather have witnesses/accomplices to the absolute carnage, up to four players can head to the Highlands to do battle with the undead hordes.
“We are so excited to be working with the amazing team at Bunkhouse on Flock Off!,” said Keith Kawamura, CEO of Shoreline Games. “The moorish nature of Flock Off!’s gameplay has made it “unputdownable” during internal playtests, and we cannot wait for players to see more of this slightly weird, but endlessly fun co-op game!”
With four distinct playable characters to choose from, there’s something for everyone in Flock Off!. And in addition to using pretty much everything that isn’t nailed down as a weapon, you’ll also have at your disposal unique items to provide some extra oomph to your firepower. That includes boomboxes, trashbags, and even glue bottles, each boasting unique effects.
