The story · 1993

The story of Sleepy Sheep Screensaver

Sleepy Sheep was installed on every office computer in town. Leave your desk for five minutes and a parade of fluffy pixel sheep began hopping over a wooden fence, with a counter in the corner. Rumor said if you waited until sheep number one thousand, a wolf in pajamas showed up. Plenty of kids sat there waiting.

Fun fact

Bumping the mouse made every sheep freeze in midair and look straight at you, which felt deeply personal.
