High-Res Pixel Art Roguelike SHEEPS Revealed

1 week ago 6

Supercharging the drowsy act of sheep-counting, Brainfruit Studios has announced their new title SHEEPS.

A high-res pixel art roguelike, SHEEPS will have players questioning their ability to count for the first time since Kindergarten.

Featuring Health mechanics, upgrades and the occasional unfair curse, SHEEPS also features a deep, story-rich narrative alongside a charming soundtrack by Composer and Producer Nick Sylvester.

SHEEPS – Coming Soon

Co-Director (and Emmy-winning writer!) Rob Dubbin said the following:

“With Sheeps, we at Brainfruit feel we have finally solved wakefulness.

Think of all the hours you weren’t counting sheep before, because it would have been disastrous to fall asleep at your job, or in mid-conversation.

Thanks to the high-octane counting action of Sheeps, that problem will soon be a thing of the past.”

Co-Director Garrett Miller, who spent his youth on a working farm counting actual sheep, also said the following:

“Counting sheep sounds simple until they start flying, doubling back, and throwing little surprises at you.

We wanted to take this elementary skill that everyone thinks they understand and turn it into a deep, chaotic and endlessly fun game that anyone can pick up and play.”

Set to release in 2027, one can wishlist SHEEPS via its official Steam page.
