Set in a town haunted by a forgotten tragedy, Black Sheep leans into its haunting tone without relying on jump scares, instead building tension through isolation and quiet moments. It holds a 78% on Metacritic and 78% positive reviews on Steam, with players praising its creative puzzles and moody aesthetic.

Storyline

Sometime at the end of the last century near the withered town of Lingyi, dusk fell upon the electric gates of the Junior High. A passionate girl who could never become a black sheep opened her hands and embraced the earth. Her dear friend Li Xiangfan, someone who once knew everything, had not a single word to say.
