  • story
    49 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of this visual novel is a dark and complex exploration of themes such as love, violence, and existential despair, centered around a protagonist who finds solace in murder. While the narrative features an interesting ensemble cast and a unique premise, it is often criticized for its rushed pacing and simplistic elements, with some forced explicit content that detracts from the overall experience. Despite its flaws, the writing is engaging and thought-provoking, making it a worthwhile choice for fans of mature storytelling and dark themes.

    • “An interesting and unique story not found in other visual novels.”
    • “With its morally complex characters and heart-wrenching storylines, this is a title that goes beyond simple entertainment to explore themes of love, despair, and survival.”
    • “The plot is engaging, as it immediately gets you immersed in the story and makes you wonder what will come next.”
    • “Despite most of the relationship being Azami as a crazy fangirl clearly wanting to marry the MC, and the MC switching between being tsundere to her and legitimately being scared of her, it does make for at least a kind of interesting 'love story.' Not super compelling or deep, but fun to watch.”
    • “I'm all for freedom of expression and explicit content in visual novels, but these forced insertions into serious backstories or plot moments make me facepalm.”
    • “The story is otherwise pretty basic, outside of the plot macguffin.”
  • emotional
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of "Restless Sheep" is characterized by its exploration of complex moral themes and tragic backstories, presenting a narrative that delves into love, despair, and survival. While the game features emotionally charged scenes, it often lacks visual representation, focusing instead on its mature storytelling and character depth. This title is recommended for players seeking a profound and challenging experience, as it offers a gripping and heart-wrenching journey that is not for the faint of heart.

    • “With its morally complex characters and heart-wrenching storylines, this is a title that goes beyond simple entertainment to explore themes of love, despair, and survival.”
    • “It isn’t a game for the faint of heart—the emotional weight and mature themes are as challenging as they are rewarding.”
    • “Deep, emotionally gripping story with moral complexity and tragic, unforgettable endings.”
  • graphics
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics feature a unique blend of grainy, redrawn real-life backgrounds and striking anime-style artwork, which some users find inconsistent. While the visuals are praised for their mature themes and full-voiced protagonists, the overall execution may detract from the presentation of sprites and other elements.

    • “Amazing anime style artwork.”
    • “JP HQ anime artwork, protagonists full-voiced, multiple endings.”
    • “One final minor issue is inconsistent visuals, something that seems to be common in Clockup visual novels.”
    • “The grainy redrawn real-life backgrounds are unique, but come at the expense of how often they show sprites or other visuals.”
    • “The story is a mix of crime, romance, and psychological tension with mature, erotic themes and striking visuals.”
  • humor
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is characterized by a blend of irony and character-driven moments, particularly in the dynamics of the main duo, though some find the portrayal of certain character types, like the yangire, lacking depth.

Overall, the humor is hit-or-miss, depending on individual tastes and character development.

    • “Similar to the rest of the ensemble cast, neither of the main duo is particularly deep per se, but both of them get the most focus on their backstories and how it affects their lives in the present, with even a little bit of irony and humor in how the relationship works.”
    • “The main character, 'me,' is so hilariously damaged I want to put him under a microscope and then vivisect him.”
    • “It's not funny to watch.”
    • “The jokes fall flat and feel forced.”
    • “I expected more laughs, but it was mostly cringeworthy.”
