Oogy: Can You Help

Oogy: Can You Help is a musical adventure in which you play as Oogy, a sheep who falls through the snow and answers a call for help. Explore a wintry, arts-and-crafts-styled map, collect moves and uncover the dark stories behind the strange and powerful things in a sprawling haunted house. The game includes more than 40 original music tracks, more than 15 hand-crafted rooms and over five hours of roguelite card mechanics.

Explore the house

Your goal is to collect as many unique moves as possible by exploring the map. To enter the house, you must first win over its front door, Phil. Hidden passageways and optional cutscenes reward thorough exploration, while the characters and cinematics tell an optional story for players who prefer to focus on action.

Each encounter presents a choice: save your opponent by cleaning them, or kill them, which leaves some of their best moves unreachable. Cleaning normally unlocks a permanent card; killing unlocks a choice of temporary card. The story follows loose ends involving Wally, Smarty, Guy #1 and Guy #2, Cap, and the Girl.

Build your deck

You start with a four-card hand and a deck that is never shuffled. Combine moves into decks shaped by where you go and whom you save, then use familiar mechanics such as Attack, Defend and Heal alongside stranger ones such as Remix, Eat and Nightmare.

• Cards: collect moves as Oogy, the sheep who answers the call for help.
• Encounters: opponents have randomized decks after the Mud Room, and encounters scale with your level so you can explore and rematch in any order. The game autosaves after every battle.
• Bosses: each boss unlocks the Memory Card, which lets you play more cards on your turn.

Rooms and music

Each room and major encounter has original music. The game also includes extra rooms with gameplay switchups, the infinitely long The Attic Observatory, and the rhythm map The Music Room. Its characters have a hand-drawn aesthetic, and its map uses an arts-and-crafts style.

Multiple playthroughs

The endgame encourages multiple playthroughs. Free seasonal updates are also part of the game.
