Subjective Review :
Story start when Nina counting one sheep.
She realize that her brother go out the house without notice. Silently, Nina chased after him, and surprisingly, she found her brother drown in the sea, and there is a black sheep beside him.
Oh wait, it's just a nightmare. Nina wake up and her brother calmed her down.

Now she's counting two sheep.
Just like when she count one sheep, her brother go out the house without notice again. But this time, Nina didn't find her brother in the sea. She found her brother inside the deep of forest. Laughing madly in front of the box. Nina try to step in, but there are two black sheep in her way. Her brother gone, and that was another nightmare. Nina didn't make a sound when her brother found her awake in her bed. To make her at ease, her brother play the music box.

Nina start counting three sheep
Nina heard someone slammed the door, she wake up and look everything around. There's no one inside the house except her and there's no trace of her brother's presence too. As if she thought she's okay, she feel something from the bathroom. When, she entered, there are three black sheep that said about her disappeared brother. Nina back to her room and there is no sign of her brother. Remind the memories of him get drunk, Nina try to sleep.

She counting four sheep.
As she open her eyes, she found that something different with her room. Yes, everything is change to the other side, like a mirror. The mirror is the gate that connect her true world and once she open it, she found four black sheep in her dining table instead her brother. The sheep demanding a meal so Nina try to make one. But, what she got is beyond he expectation. The sheep start ripping off her brother's diary and get away with it. Nina remember, his brother seems angry when she asked mashed potato for dinner, but she can't find the reason why.

She counting five sheep.
She wake up in hungry feeling and she found a bowl of mashed potato in her kitchen. After making decision, she try to see his brother's diary. Ah, yes, the diary has been ripped off by the four black sheep before, so Nina try to find the sheep who took away the papers. There are five black sheep carrying paper pieces in their mouths. After she obtained all the papers, she made a dreamcatcher which lead her to the truth.

She lost her count. All back to zero.
She took the dreamcatcher and go down the hole. Inside the hole, she meet the eye who tell her that her brother is still alive but his consciousness stolen by a black sheep. Nina have to chase the black sheep and retrieve her brother consciousness.

This is the end, and the truth is decided by ending that Nina chose. There are three endings that Nina can obtain :
"Have a nice sleep" Ending
"It's just a Nightmare" Ending
"What a messed up dream" Ending



Aside from the story, I really give a "plus" for the concept that 1550 made. I like the way she made a mystery game without jumpscare. The difficulty is also fine for me.
- Traps and Tricks in final scene are good, really.
- Difficulty in mirror world makes me think twice, glad there is no jumpscare event
- The song.. Oh my God, it is the legendary lullaby here.
- And the bonus picture in hidden way to obtained it
- Ah, also... The sound of horse in final scene is kinda annoying but made me pity him a little since he can't eat Nina
