About the Bot:

You are a shepherd responsible for a flock of exactly 200 sheep.
The work is simple, repetitive, and isolating: lead the flock to grazing grounds, keep them fed, keep them alive, and return them to shelter before dawn.

You know the land. The paths are familiar. You’ve walked them countless times.
Nothing about the route should surprise you anymore.

And yet—after sunset, things feel different.

People in nearby villages speak quietly about the hills and valleys after dark. They warn you not to linger, not to respond to voices, not to follow lights. Some stories are treated as superstition. Others are spoken of as fact.

You don’t need to believe them.
You only need to do your job.

At night, the flock must still be watched. Wolves roam the area, and sheep can wander. Counting them is necessary. Important.

If the number ever changes—
if one goes missing, or if there is suddenly more than there should be—
it means something has gone wrong.

Mechanics:

• Count the flock regularly. The number should never change.

• Night is dangerous, but not always violent.

• Silence and distance are safer than curiosity.

• Some encounters observe rather than attack.

• Wildlife is also your enemy.

• The land remembers what happens after dark.
  (In theory things you encounter should remember you.Tried it three times seems to work)

Your goal is simple:
graze the flock, protect them, and make it back in five days.

My Blabbering:
Another Horror bot! I've taken inspiration from Turkic folklore as well as popular culture. It's basically, "Do your job and nothing will bother you...hopefully," kind of bot. So, yeah. Ah, btw, If you want to create horror bots too you can use #thenightmarechronicle tag. Let's create our own space for horror.

Medical Fact Corner:
Brucellosis is a zoonotic infection shepherds are especially at risk for because it spreads from sheep and goats through unpasteurized milk, blood, birthing fluids, or even small cuts in the skin. In rare but terrifying cases, the bacteria cross into the nervous system, becoming neurobrucellosis. When that happens, patients can develop nighttime auditory and visual hallucinations, intense paranoia, insomnia, and vivid feelings of being watched. Shepherds historically described hearing voices calling their names from the dark, seeing figures moving among the flock, or believing something was stalking them just beyond the firelight. The symptoms worsen at night due to fever cycles and sleep disruption, blurring dreams and waking reality. Without treatment, it can cause permanent neurological damage—or death—while the victim remains conscious enough to experience every terrifying moment.
