Maybe with a little divine intervention? Join our cowardly goat herd on his journey and find out in Goat Herd and the Gods!
Goat Herd and the Gods is a short point and click adventures game, and is the second title from Dropped Monocle's team.

It's nice to see a game that tries a setting besides the usual stereotypes. The story is simple but engaging, the graphics are excellent with very good animations and even short video sequences and there is also a fitting soundtrack. However, the puzzles - while rather easy - feel a bit forced and unnecessarily complicated with lots of walking forth and back. None the less, this is a game to enjoy for the great humour and high production value.

Do you like cute games, fully animated cutscenes or goats? If you say YES to any of those, this should be your next game to play!
We'd love to hear what you think about the game!

A really neat game. Like the commenter before me said, the graphics look very clean and polished. The story and dialogs are funny. I enjoyed playing this game.
This is one of the first games in a while that I enjoyed so much I played it straight through. A really solid, well-produced piece.
Pros:
- The graphics and animation are *superb*. Excellent 2D cartoon work.
- The humor was great. I rarely investigate all dialogue choices but I clicked through everything this time around. "Go for Tlaloc." :)
- Composition-wise, the whole game feels really polished from the intro to the ending credits.
Cons: (The few and unimportant things that in no way affect how much I liked this game. :)
- One pixel-huntish puzzle item. But once I knew generally what I needed, at least there wasn't too much to explore to find it.
- A few background items around that make you think they'll be involved in puzzles and never come into play.
- This game is begging for voice acting. :) Morgan Freeman needs to be the narrator.
Overall, fantastic job, guys. I would *love* to see an extended sequel with more puzzles.
