“Herbert’s Day Out”

A story game by Caleb Hystad. On iPhone and iPad!

QUOTES: “So many iPhone games are about points, or killing, or money, or twitching. Sometimes it’s just nice to kick back and guide a pig through a story.”
Luke Plunkett (Kotaku)

“So, to sum it up: simple controls, charming art, a short and light story, and music from a singing cowboy, all for free. Why haven’t you downloaded it yet?”
Eric Caoili (Game Set Watch)


 Join Herbert the pig as he escapes his farm to quest for delicious truffles.
Hold your iPhone horizontally, and tilt it slightly in the direction you want Herbert to go. Touch the screen when prompted to close menus or to select options.
Then follow along with Herbert as he braves a charging river…
hikes along a towering cliff…
and relaxes in new watering holes.
All the while, staying one step ahead of the farmer’s dog.
