However sheep (unlike, say, lemmings) hardly have any means to alter their environment, so you'll have to learn each level's logic through trial and error to guide the bleating lot through Team17's surprisingly heartless puzzles... Then try to top their cruelty using the aptly-named Meat Maker editor.

Sounds simple enough - but at the heart of the game lies a cubic ton of areas, collectibles, code-cracking challenges and obscure references that will wake you up at night like a kawaii dream of cerebral torture. Perspective, right ?
