The Orchard of Stray Sheep is a VN about an "Academy" for girls with strange metal halos, more specifically a small group of four teachers and four students. Each student is assigned a single teacher (though one teacher is assigned two students, with the fourth "teacher" being the principal). This is a very short, very simplistic VN. There are two choices (or two choice moments, with a pair of choices at each point), leading to just three endings. You're not going to spend time figuring out how to get a good end, and you're not going to get any more world-building information on a bad end. Thematically it's interesting. The store description alludes to it with the "Eden" mention, but there's a decent amount of discussion of these Christian topics of original sin, the forbidden fruit, etc. It's also a sci-fi story with a mildly atypical setting (in terms of the society structure). It starts out relatively light-hearted, but gets pretty serious later on (in some pretty interesting ways related to the setting). Like a few other stories I've read lately (like the VN Enigma), the idea of a villain or what is "wrong" is really more complicated than your standard video game story (or even some VNs). The main problem here is that the VN is so incredibly short. Just checked my numbers and I saw something like 3 hours (I'll say 4 for good measure) for the entire experience--the semi-involved pair of bad ends, and the one good end. Technically they resolve pretty much everything they introduce as a problem, but it's all resolved incredibly quickly, and some of the resolutions are glossed over. Maybe Himawari and Island have spoiled me, but I could see a significantly longer amount of time given to the light-hearted beginning to build the characters more, as well as to the climax of the story. The buildup and climax (like, the period where we actually learn the main mystery, and it gets resolved) take place in like 15 minutes, maybe less. It also gets resolved in ways that don't use elements of the story that seem pretty important (they define the MC's past, and they're the impetus for his actions in the climax, and they again reappear in the epilogue). Couple things worth mentioning. The girls here look young, but they don't like Aqua/Sara young, which is...better, I suppose. The MC is 17, and while the age of the girls are never given to my knowledge, it's implied they're around the same age; I could quint my eyes and see their portrayal as ~14-15. Additionally, this is not a romance VN. The MC forms a deeper relationship with someone, but it really can't be labelled as a standard romance for reasons that become obvious. Art seems pretty good to me; it feels a bit unique. The music was slightly more interesting to me than usual (mainly because some of the light-hearted tracks sound kind of quirky), but that's "more interesting" not "I liked it more." Interface, UX feels pretty standard. 7.5/10. I really liked the themes. I think the sci-fi setting had potential. I enjoyed the interactions with the girls. I thought the basis for the plot intrigue was good. Unfortunately, this is just too short, and I didn't feel like there was enough time for literally any of these elements to come into their own.

This game, to my surprise was completely different than expected, here I thought I'd be a generic shepherd herding waifu sheep or sheep in the bodies of women, turns out that wasn't the case, and found 3 different endings, however, I won't spoil the rest, I thought it was a different take on selective subjects that are controversial, but each is to their own. If its on sale, get it if you can, can also get it at normal price if you wish.

Tiene su buen salseo romántico la historia UwU

asd

good

Juegazo. Me gustó un montón. Los personajes son muy lindos. El diseño es muy bueno. Me gusta la estética que tiene el juego. Me hubiera gustado que pongan voces, al menos para las chicas. En cuanto la historia me encantó. Principio, desarrollo y finales. Cuando lo comencé a jugar algo me olia turbio y la verdad me sorprendió gratamente cómo se tornó la historia, aunque eso no quita que me hubiera gustado ver un final con cada una y que tuvieran su ruta. Igualmente el juego me leyó la mente y supo de entrada que mi favorita iba a ser Peeler (y casi me como la pantalla cuando llega [spoiler]su "graduación").[/spoiler] Hay cosas que este juego no tiene que pudieron haber mejorado la experiencia y la calidad del mismo, ya nombré dos (voces, rutas) asi como a su vez hay cosas que pudieron haber omitido completamente (la personalidad del MC se entiende que es una mierda pero su perversion y [spoiler]esa cuasi violacion a Mincer no se entienden[/spoiler] y estan completamente fuera de contexto, cero razon de ser). Quisiera saber más detalles de la trama [spoiler](que crimen cometió Oros Zester, qué pasa al final con Matsuri y su turn off, cómo escapan y a dónde MC y Aya)[/spoiler] pero ojalá me den el gusto y hagan dlcs o un juego nuevo sobre esas cuestiones, lo compraría sin dudas.

OK. I think I get it. This is basically 1984. You are 'Ichiriou' who is basically the Japanese version of 'Winston Smith'. Someone who is a product of the New World Order, Where you will own nothing and you will be happy. And so he is weak, twisted & broken. But he tries to do the right thing anyway, because despite the best efforts of the WEF, he is still, deep down, a human being. OK. Cool.
