Flock joins Annapurna’s growing catalog of “personal, emotional, and original” games, conjuring similar emotions as The Outer Wilds and even Stray. With Flock, Hollow Ponds and Annapurna have crafted a meditative explorative experience punctuated by impressionistic visuals and plenty of charm. As the title implies, you document and charm various creatures into following you. Flock doesn’t boast rich worldbuilding and a deep narrative, but there’s still an overarching goal, namely to fill Aunt Jane’s Creature Guide and gather whistles used to collect creatures. It’s a game all about exploring and documenting wildlife at your own pace; it’s about the journey, not the destination.

It’s a whimsical platforming adventure deeply steeped in Japanese folklore and complemented by a satisfying combat system and stellar original score.
