Evaluation
Shepherd of Light is a free-to-play puzzle game developed by students at John Paul the Great Catholic University and released on September 4, 2019. The store description presents a self-contained experience — a shepherd guiding sheep through a wolf-infested forest across cozy farms and ancient ruins, solving environmental puzzles. There is no mention of DLC, seasons, updates, or any planned additional content anywhere in the store materials. No developer news posts, roadmaps, or post-launch communications have been recorded. This is consistent with a student-made game released as a finished project with no expectation of ongoing development. The game shipped as a complete product and has remained unchanged since its release date.
