Sheep Dreams Are Made of This - At least falling feels good
What was your biggest nightmare?
Mine was that all my teeth suddenly fall out and become thousands of pieces. But at least I know that was only a dream.
What if you never wake up from your worst nightmare?
@User filan nominated Sheep Dreams Are Made of This as one mobile gaming hidden gem during the TapTap Explorer Campaign. And this game immediately caught my attention because it reminded me of Eurythmics's big hit Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) and the sci-fi fiction Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, which later inspired the film Blade Runner - and I love them both.
So, is this game good, despite its catchy title?
Sheep Dreams Are Made of This is platformer where you control a man who has been stuck in a nightmare for 17 years. You need to help him collect the memory fragments to get his memory back, and you need to do this within eight hours, or the man will wake up and everything will reset.
And FYI, that are eight hours in real life.
I haven't finished the game. Honestly, I don't think I will, because it's virtually impossible for me to just sit down for eight hours and collect all the memory piece. However, it's still a game that worth your attention.
Sheep Dreams Are Made of This stands out for its concept. It's really clever to mix an endless runner type of game with the theme of reoccurring nightmares, past traumas and self-reflection. Playing this game feels like reading someone's diary, which is a really personal experience that can be depressing, sometimes.
