You and I both know you’re not sleeping well in this economy, so have a gander at Sheeps, a roguelite about counting sheep pouring out of a strange portal
Rock Paper Shotgun covers Sheeps, a new roguelite game centered around the concept of counting sheep. The game features a mysterious rift that has opened, with sheep continuously pouring through it. The title plays on the inherent ambiguity of the word “sheep” as both singular and plural form. Rather than being a straightforward relaxation game, Sheeps incorporates roguelite mechanics—permadeath gameplay loops and procedural elements—to create a more engaging experience than the traditional method of counting sheep to fall asleep. The game appears to combine the nostalgic sleep aid concept with modern indie game design principles.
