Sheeps

- characters are FUNNY (great dialogue and designs) - music is GORGEOUS - poems are THOUGHTFUL, like for real some got me laughing and others are stuck in my head - devs are GOOFY, in all the right ways, just watch the achievements as u play the game love it so far and still got so much to go!

I have been waiting months since playing the demo to shovel over five euros to this man and have one absolutely phenomenal experience.

Many things I could talk about here but idk if I want to go into the charming characters, pretty retro visuals, relaxing music and both funny, sweet, introspective poetry but I don't feel like it. The game's just good.

there's very little else like sheeps, in general. not just in that it's a playable poetry and art portfolio, but also in its tone and "openness". some poetry is funny, some poetry is serious. some writings are short stories and musings about the life of Amish on Mars, written in a very tongue-in-cheek Douglas Adams way. some are rantings written down during a frustrated and unhappy time as a parking attendant. some are quips about feeling joy when doing the right thing is simple. some are musings on the GOATs of the NBA. it feels like exploring inside the dev's brain with almost no filter and picking out select ideas to ponder on yourself, bare and raw. the music and visuals are also genuinely fantastic and make it fun just to wander around. in that way it feels partly like yume nikki and other such "weirdcore" exploration games, but with the author's thoughts sewn, both DEEP into it, and right on the surface to read in plain text. it's very surprising to me just how much ive liked it and recommend it.

Of all the ways I've seen poetry and prose collected, I never thought I would see a collection in the form of a collectathon video game. That novelty alone is conversation-worthy, but on top of that it's actually a fun little game to play too.

As the owner of a physical copy, I have no constructive criticism, only immense blind positivity!
