Sheepy goes to university! Congratulations Sheepy! But it's hard to be a sheep in a human world. Not everybody wants to see you graduate!

Lollop around the campus! Nuzzle whatever you find, and sniff out secrets. Head to lectures and try out assignments, adventures and crimes! Make lifelong friendships, and stand up against discrimination!

By day you can study law, dance, writing, science and drama. By night, enjoy Friend Time - a range of activities with your new neighbours. Experience the real highs and lows of dorm life. Solve the goose mystery, and weep for those long lost. Live and learn, but beware the tanglewood snare! Shine bright on pancake day, and hold tight in the darkness.

A colourful narrative adventure game about being a real-live sheep at university. Over fifteen days and fifteen nights, Sheepy experiences the three years of study, of friendship and heartbreak.

Played this game on steam almost a year ago, wanted to make a review but sadly still am on a limited account. 

I just want to say this game really hits me in a different way. For somebody like me with such terrible memory, the fact that I can still remember playing this game is remarkable. I still remember this game as a little gem and thank you for have made this free.

I am very sorry to bother you after months but you game has stuck with me for a very long time. It moved me deeply and I still think about it a lot.


I am currently an organizer on the Queer Games Bundle 2023.

I've finished the game now, and enjoyed it a lot! The script is very funny and very you, and I found I was more invested in the characters than I expected. I'm a fan of locations that change over time, and liked the soundtrack a lot too.

Hilarious

This game is fantastic, if you are reading this please consider giving it a chance.
