Back to Bed

In Back to Bed, the player is tasked with guiding a sleepwalker named Bob through a series of isometric levels representing surreal, dreamlike environments to ensure his safety. Players control Bob's apparent guardian angel, Subob, who must manipulate the environment to steer Bob safely back to bed. Subob's primary objective is to prevent Bob from falling off the edge of the level or colliding with hazards that would wake him up. To achieve this, players utilize various objects and structures within the environment, such as blocks, ramps, and platforms, to create a path for Bob to follow.

The game requires players to determine the most efficient route for Bob to traverse. Players must consider factors such as Bob's movement speed, the placement of obstacles, and the properties of interactive objects when devising their solutions. Throughout the game, players encounter increasingly difficult puzzles. As players progress, new gameplay elements and mechanics are introduced. These include rotating platforms, teleportation portals, and environmental hazards.

Back to Bed received "mixed or average" reviews according to review aggregator platform Metacritic. 12% of critics recommended the game on OpenCritic.

Eurogamer.it rated the game 6/10, stating that "What is missing most of all, however, is any element of interconnection that pushes us to proceed. The levels, taken individually, are interesting and fun but it is not clear what should push us to proceed. A flaw that is barely noticeable on mobile but which risks becoming tiring in a short time on desktop."
