About

Build your set. Rally the Melodus. Own the stage.

Herd is a cute, tactical, and competitive card game set in a magical world where music is a true power.

Build your deck and face your rival in strategic duels where every card you play becomes part of your musical performance.

But here, victory doesn’t come from reducing your opponent’s health points.

In Herd, you win by converting the Melodus: adorable divine creatures that react to music, magic, and the momentum of the match.Read your opponent’s game, control the stage, trigger your synergies, and rally the Melodus before your rival steals the show.

Herd characters

Heroes with unique powers, bound together by music

Dive into Fraktar, a world where music and magic are one. Embody unique heroes and face your rivals in thrilling duels where your musical creativity and strategic skills will be put to the test. Music is your weapon. Your involvement influences the future of the game.

Herd

A card game where music becomes gameplay

A card game where music becomes gameplay

Cards are played across five musical categories:

• Drums
• Chords
• Bass
• Melody
• Voices

Each card can modify the music, trigger tactical effects, increase the intensity of your set, disrupt your opponent’s Soundboard, or convert Melodus to your side.

The soundtrack evolves with the match, making every duel feel like a true musical battle between two artists.

A strategy you can see, hear, and feel

Herd is designed to make the depth of card games easier to read.

Instead of hiding strategy behind layers of abstract rules, Herd uses music, visual feedback, and the movement of the Melodus to help players understand what is happening on the board.

Every match is built around clear tactical decisions:

• Build your Soundboard
• Prepare your synergies
• Control key musical categories
• Disrupt your opponent’s performance
• Choose the right timing for your conversions
• Adapt your deck after each match

Meet the Melodus

The Melodus are small magical creatures born from musical energy.

They are not just a score: they are the heart of the game.

During each duel, they react to your performance, move across the stage, and determine who wins the match.

Rally them to your side — or watch your rival take control of the show.

A Fair Free-to-Play Experience

Herd is a free-to-play game built around fair competition.

Our goal is to create a modern digital card game with no pay-to-win mechanics.

Monetization focuses on self-expression, optional unlocks, and cosmetic elements: characters, styles, visual effects, Melodus skins, and stage customization.

Win because you play better — not because you pay more.

Actual Roadmap

• Solo content to learn the game and discover the universe
• 1v1 PvP to master competitive play
• Character progression
• Deckbuilding and archetype experimentation
• Cosmetic and musical customization

Planned Modes

Herd will first be available through Steam Playtest until the Steam Next Fest in June 2026.

After the Next Fest, the game is planned to enter Early Access as a free-to-play title.

The full launch is planned for 2027, with new characters, decks, modes, cosmetics, and narrative content added throughout development.

FAQ

Des Questions sur Herd et son accès anticipé ?

Pourquoi choisir l'accès anticipé ?

Herd est un jeu de cartes stratégique construit autour d’un système musical original. L’Accès Anticipé nous permettra d’équilibrer le cœur du jeu avec de vrais joueurs, d’améliorer l’onboarding, de valider la progression et d’enrichir le contenu étape par étape avec les retours de la communauté. Nous voulons que Herd soit lisible, juste et profond. L’Accès Anticipé est le meilleur moyen d’atteindre ce niveau de qualité avant le lancement complet.

Icon - Elements Webflow Library - BRIX Templates

Comment comptez-vous impliquer la communauté dans le processus de développement ?

Les retours de la communauté sont essentiels au développement de Herd.Nous utiliserons Steam Playtest, les discussions Steam, Discord, des questionnaires et des sessions de playtest pour recueillir des retours sur la lisibilité, l’onboarding, l’équilibrage, la diversité des decks, la progression, la monétisation et les sensations de jeu.Notre objectif est de construire Herd avec les joueurs, pas derrière des portes closes.

Pendant combien de temps environ ce jeu sera-t-il en accès anticipé ?

Nous prévoyons actuellement de garder Herd en Accès Anticipé jusqu’en 2027. Cette durée pourra évoluer selon les retours des joueurs, les besoins d’équilibrage, la production de contenu et le niveau de qualité nécessaire pour la sortie complète.

Icon - Elements Webflow Library - BRIX Templates

En quoi la version finale sera-t-elle différente de la version en accès anticipé ?

La version finale devrait inclure davantage de personnages, de decks, de cartes, de contenu solo, de progression, de cosmétiques, ainsi qu’un onboarding plus complet, de meilleurs retours post-match et une présentation visuelle et sonore plus aboutie. Le cœur du jeu restera centré sur les duels tactiques, l’expression musicale, la compétition équitable et les Mélodus.

Icon - Elements Webflow Library - BRIX Templates

Quel est l'état actuel de la version en accès anticipé ?

La version en Accès Anticipé se concentrera sur l’expérience centrale de Herd : duels tactiques de cartes, decks liés aux personnages, système de Soundboard, conversion des Mélodus, progression et première couche complète du gameplay musical. Certains contenus, éléments d’équilibrage, interfaces, fonctionnalités solo et cosmétiques seront encore en cours de développement.

Icon - Elements Webflow Library - BRIX Templates

Le prix du jeu sera-t-il différent pendant et après l'accès anticipé ?

Herd est prévu comme un jeu free-to-play pendant l’Accès Anticipé et après le lancement complet. Des achats optionnels pourront être introduits pendant l’Accès Anticipé. Ils seront centrés sur les cosmétiques, l’expression et les déblocages optionnels, sans créer d’avantage pay-to-win en PvP.
