About the Game

Bob is a narcoleptic sleepwalker. The city wants to swallow him whole. You are the only part of his mind still awake.

Back to Bed is an atmospheric isometric puzzle game set inside a surreal, hand-painted dreamscape. As Subob, Bob's subconscious guardian, you manipulate the strange and impossible world around him to carve a safe path back to bed. Redirect his steps, outwit the hazards, and navigate physics-defying environments where streets fold, staircases loop, and nothing behaves as it should.

SURREAL HAND-PAINTED WORLD

Play inside a living work of art. Every level is a meticulously crafted dreamscape blending urban architecture with impossible, otherworldly imagery inspired by surrealist painting.

MIND-BENDING ISOMETRIC PUZZLES

Navigate 3D environments that defy the laws of physics. Manipulate oversized objects and exploit the architecture itself to guide Bob safely through each level.

TWO CHARACTERS, ONE MIND

Subob is not separate from Bob. He is the part of him that refuses to sleep. This quiet, wordless relationship is at the heart of everything.
