Overview
Description

Back to Bed is an artistic 3D puzzle adventure where you control Subob, the subconscious guardian, to protect the narcoleptic office worker Bob as he sleepwalks through twisted cityscapes. The game blends platforming, strategy and horror elements in painterly environments that blur the line between dream and reality. Explore surreal, painting‑like levels, solve environmental puzzles, and keep Bob safe from hidden dangers while uncovering a quirky story about the power of the subconscious. The single‑player experience is available across all major platforms, offering a unique indie adventure for players of all ages.

Dream puts you in the shoes of Howard Phillips, a directionless graduate obsessed with his own dreams. The game blends exploration, puzzle‑solving, and horror as you wander through surreal environments inspired by titles like Yume Nikki and LSD. Inspired by narrative‑heavy experiences such as Dear Esther and Deus Ex, Dream offers non‑linear storytelling, atmospheric moments, and challenging puzzles that reveal deeper meanings about Howard's life. Single‑player adventure for PC.
