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

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!

Developer

The original plan was a lot more punishment for distractions, but decided that wasn’t fair. Thanks for playing.

Lovely game, really loved the voice acting, but how come you don't wash your hands after using the bathroom?

Developer(+1)

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

Developer(+1)

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.

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!

Developer

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 

Developer

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.
