👤 Your Shepherd
Pick an outfit for your shepherd. You carry a staff, and the sheep will follow you as you walk — "my sheep hear my voice… and they follow me" (John 10:27). Press V in-game to switch between first-person and third-person views.
🎨 Mix your own colors
Just colors — no names or photos. Safe by design. (Press Back, then V to spin your shepherd in surround view.)

⚙️ Parent Settings — Healthy Play 🕊️
Set a daily play limit. When it's reached, the game gently winds down with a restful verse — teaching that rest is good and holy (Genesis 2:2–3). This is a soft, values-aligned layer; pair it with Microsoft Family Safety / Screen Time as the hard backstop.
Daily limit:

👨👩👧 Multiplayer — private worlds only. No chat, no names, no typing — ever. Players only see each other move and can send a few pre-approved emoji (👋 🙏 ❤️). A private code is required; there is no public/stranger world. Only share your code with families you personally know and trust.

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." — Matthew 11:28
