Oogy: Can You Help

Play as Oogy, a business card-wielding sheep that is apparently the last hope for a house inhabited by living furniture and adorable anthropomorphic animals.

Can you make it through each room of the sprawling wintery house, uncovering the backstory behind each of the strange and powerful creatures inside?



Oogy: Can You Help is the passion project of a single developer, built from the ground-up without the use of any video game engine to provide a uniquely vibrant and surprisingly detailed experience.

Welcome to the Front Yard

In this indie narrative deckbuilder, the goal is to collect as many unique moves as possible by traversing more and more of the map. Enter the wintry house after winning over the front door, and your journey begins. Instead of upgrading your arsenal, you can obtain more cards by winning battles.

More than that—every new encounter raises a question: do you save your opponent by "cleaning" them of the darkness that surrounds the house, or do you kill them, leaving both their moves and dialogue unreachable?

Story

Oogy: Can You Help is driven by the dark story that seems to be seeping into every room of the arts-and-craft styled map. The characters and cutscenes are designed to pull in more narrative-inclined players, tying up the loose ends and getting to the bottom of each question raised through the multi-hour, multi-day play time.
