Not bad at all if you're playing this game on your Steam Deck. Especially if you're struggling to fall asleep. 10-star Bob's quality sleep out of 10!

There's just something so charming about this game. From the aesthetic, the graphics, the concept as a whole it all just feels so cared after. This is a passion project, and it really shows. You couldn't imagine my disbelief when I reached the credits and discovered that there were over 1000 people backing this game on kickstarter, and dozens of students who worked on it. Everything about this game is so serene yet interesting. Every feature of this game clearly had a lot of thought behind it. The narrator speaks reversed, reversed, giving it the most odd effect. The voice lines are confusing but make sense given the context of the game. "The clocks turn bobwise" might be my new favourite thing ever. The puzzles are simple and easily replicatable once you figure them out, with many different solutions. Nightmare mode was a challenge but never did I get frustrated completing it. Was still very enjoyable. This game has so much potential for more content though, as there are many puzzle mechanics that are just never utilised. Clocks appear for like 2 levels, and you can just easily kill them. Using a fish on a manhole only ever is relevant for one nightmare level key, and I didn't know you could do that until then. I don't know what drugs I was on when I purchased this game 4 years ago for like 50 cents, but I'm glad I did as this game was delightful to sit down and finish. Please give it a chance.

The graphics of this are stunning. Unfortunately the puzzle mechanic didn't really vibe with my personal tastes, but if you like the look of the trailer, I recommend you give it a shot.

Back to Bed is a surreal puzzle game where you have to guide sleepwalking Bob back to his bed through a series of surreal dream worlds. You do this by placing obstacles and using the environment to guide him to bed without letting him fall or be woken up. There are 30 levels to the game, although they repeat with an extra step in Nightmare Mode. Playing through the levels in normal mode was generally pretty easy, although there were a couple of trickier levels mixed in. The levels only reset when Bob wakes up, so even if he falls off, you can move around the objects you need and move/remove some hazards without losing your progress each time you start over. In Nightmare mode, you play through the levels again, but you also have to retrieve keys along the way. The keys don't stay collected if Bob falls, so to finish the level you have to get all the keys and get Bob to the door without falling. This was definitely harder than the regular levels and in some was pretty frustrating. Getting everything you need without falling involves figuring out an intricate series of steps and then executing them correctly, and messing up even one step means you start from the beginning again, which could be pretty annoying on levels that were more complex and had more keys. I didn't end up needing to look up any answers, but figuring out some of the Nightmare levels wasn't much fun. The game has a very surreal art style. The artwork references major surrealist artists, such as Dali and Escher. The narrator with the creepy voice and the soundtrack combine with the art style to create a dream-like atmosphere. The game was a little buggy. There were a couple of places where Bob can get stuck walking into a wall or where apples stick to the underside of surfaces. The only way to fix either was to reset the level. The movement also gets weird if you try to move with keyboard and click with mouse, but works fine if you use mouse alone. I also had the game crash when I tried to skip the end credits. Back to Bed has cool artistic inspirations and mostly enjoyable puzzles, but is a bit short, a little buggy, and occasionally frustrating. It isn't my favorite puzzle game, but I thought it was overall pretty good and I'm interested in checking out other games from this developer. 6/10

I had fun playing this. Drove me crazy, mind you. Especially the nightmare levels. But definitely worth the time spent on this to get all the achievements.
