How does your game fit the theme?
The player counts down sheep into a pen as they fall asleep. There is also a meta level where we have a global countdown that is affected by actual players, and there is a special ending when that also reaches zero.

Love the creative concept and the details are wonderful. Can't believe we get this fully voiced game for free! The game is also very relatable to our recent sleep routine. Appreciate the great work you all put in this game in just 4 days! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o
Thanks so much for playing! We had a lot of fun doing the voices :)
Oh my gosh, this is such an adorable and creative concept that was executed so cleanly! It's simple but so very clever, and is something I could see myself playing again just for the fun of it! (Very humorous as well.)
Thanks so much for playing! I'm glad our humour came across :)
This was kind of like a cozy rage game haha! Really enjoyed the nursery rhyme quality and the interaction woven with the narrative. The stats at the end were quite fun too. The art and sound were fantastic, well polished all around. Really great job!
The original plan was a lot more punishment for distractions, but decided that wasn’t fair. Thanks for playing.
This was such an enjoyable, cozy game! I liked the voice acting and storytelling! This was a creative take on the theme. Great job guys, I had a lot of fun playing!!
glad you enjoyed your time
Great narrative and voice acting with an important message!
Thanks for playing.
Great game, incredible polish and amount of content for a game jam, I hope you guys are proud
We are incredibly proud of what we accomplished, and the feedback has been great. Thank you for the kind words and for playing our game
Lovely game, really loved the voice acting, but how come you don't wash your hands after using the bathroom?
In my mind they do wash their hands, we just cut animations to make our lives easier. But point well made. Thanks for playing.
Really creative use of the theme, I definitely yeeted some sheep playing and had a blast following along
Yeeting the sheep is my preferred way of playing. We only added the gate because we thought some people would have trouble. As it turns out it seems about 50/50 between yeeting and dragging them in. There is a slight herding mechanic and technically you can get them in that way, but it’s not quite strong enough.
Nice... wait I have my lips so dry...
Yeah, nice... its that tap driping again?
MMmmmm... oh yes, nice *vibrate sounds* DANG IT
...
Nice work! :D
Thanks for playing
I wish I had this sleep inducer at home, haha. I really loved the storytelling!
Thanks for checking out our game.
Really cozy game, the audio was on top and i loved the inputs feel. Really cute game
Thanks for taking the time to play our game.
What a cozy game! Made me feel right at home. Great voice acting, great premise, just the right amount of time dragging the sheep.
Thanks for playing
This is good and it made me sleep tooo:D
Thanks for playing our game!
The concept was maybe a little too relatable... loved all the rhyming dialogues and voice acting, super cute. Very fun and chill game, great work!
Thanks so much for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it! And I agree, we all have trouble turning off our phones for sleep these days, right? :D
Really cozy and chill game. The rhymes are neat. can definitely see myself playing this on bed to fall asleep faster. Great job! Also, with the dark atmosphere, I was almost certain I might see one of those sleep paralysis demons or some shadowy figure standing in the corner XD
Thanks so much for playing!
I put it forward that we should have some sort of potential for a sleep paralysis demon/something creepy lurking in the dark. But we decided having something like that, that maybe only 1 or 2 people would experience wouldn’t be worth our time. Did I put something in…? Short answer no, long answer there’s still more to the story.
Such a simple, cozy, and chill game. Love the rhyme on the narrative. I could see someone fell asleep playing this game (lol), because its so relaxing.
Glad you had fun, and the sandman hasn’t creeped you out…
It was definitely a struggle to stay awake some of the late nights, especially once my sleepy counting was in.
Cool mini game, love the sand effects throughout. Drinking so much water I'm surprised we only needed to pee once!
Glad you had fun! The distractions are somewhat random. One playthrough I had 6 toilet breaks. Hopefully the fixes we put in place don’t allow that again.
Thanks for playing! I meant to put in a decaying probability on the events so they would still be random but you'd be less likely to get repeats, but we ran out of time. Would've been fun to have them actually affect each other like that too though!
Very cool way to interpret the theme. The rhymes are great.
Thanks for playing
The poem and voice acting was so soothing. Good job, guys!
(wash dirty dishes before going to sleep :D )
Thanks for checking the game out. It pained me to put the dirty dishes in the sink.
Even tho I did not play the game in bed, I still had a blast! This is a super cool twist on the counting sheep theme cause it got broken up every now and again with a new task, absolutely loved the narrator and the fact he kept getting sleepier counting down. The only downside were some framedrops on the web version (which I also struggled with for my game so very understandable haha) Thanks for making this fun game!
Thanks for playing!
One laptop I was testing on couldn’t even play in the web version, but would get 60 fps in the windows version. Web for 3d is super hard and we even put a warming subviewport in the menu to try and get all the shaders compiled before seeing them in the game. It did something but not enough. The windows port is highly superior.
