“Decent puzzle game that effectively utilizes its visual style in puzzle design. Puzzles bend physics like an Escher painting, adding a lot of variety to a simple puzzle. A fairly short game.

About This Game

Back to Bed is an artistic 3D puzzle game with a surreal twist. Bob is an unlucky narcoleptic who has a tendency of falling asleep in his boring office and then proceeding to sleepwalk into the dangers of the big city. Luckily, Bob has a subconscious guardian named Subob, who protects the sleepwalker and guides him back to the safety of his bed.

The ever-vigilant Subob must lead Bob on a journey through a series of surreal painting-like cityscapes, where the boundary between Bob's dreams and reality have vanished.

Unique surreal and artistic game

Play in a piece of art set in a digital frame, that mixes elements from the real world and the world of dreams to create something unique and surreal.

Mind-bending Isometric Levels

Navigate detailed 3D puzzles that defy the laws of physics, wherein the player must manipulate the strange environment to create a safe path for Bob and avoid the dangers of the puzzle.

Two Characters As One

Play as the embodied subconsciousness, in the form of a small guardian creature, trying to save its own sleepwalking body from dangers of the dream world.
