Our take on Black Sheep
The premise presents a mystery involving monsters, murder, and the past, but the actual role is largely observational: investigation, interpretation, and identity changes drive the experience more than direct action.
What is Black Sheep?
Black Sheep is a 2D, story-focused adventure set around the ruins of a flooded school near the town of Lingyi.
Playing as a high school student, the player investigates events from the previous year by gathering information scattered through the ruins, considering different viewpoints, and taking on different identities. The narrative incorporates psychological horror and urban legends, with hostile creatures connected to the story's buried secrets. The game is divided into five chapters, each covering a sequence from the past year. The player observes these events as a bystander and decides how to save the girl known as the black sheep while seeking the identity of the murderer within the group.
