Mad Mary: Space Shepherd

Ranching on the frontier

Mad Mary: Space Shepherd is a PC ranching and defense game about Mary, a shepherd living on a ranch far from Earth. By day, you bring wild sheep home and build up the ranch. By night, you defend the flock from whatever wants to take it.

You can ride a rover and use dogs to turn wild sheep, or suck them up with the B.A.A.H.G and fire them into the pen. The game’s loop ties ranch work to nightly attacks: each day’s buildings and preparations determine whether the ranch holds.
