Developed by Bedtime Digital Games · Published by Bedtime Digital Games
Bob sleepwalks through surreal dreamscapes, and you play as Subob, his subconscious guardian. Rather than controlling Bob directly, you guide him toward his bed by changing the world around him.
Bob walks forward and changes direction when he meets an obstacle. Move objects such as apples to alter his route, and place fish-shaped bridges across gaps. Plan around hazards including dogs, alarm clocks, and trains as you guide him through each level.
The game progresses through a series of compact puzzles that introduce new obstacles and spatial challenges. A Nightmare mode revisits levels with an added key-collecting task before Bob can reach the exit.
Reviewers often praise the surreal art and dreamlike atmosphere, along with the unusual task of routing an automatically walking Bob using movable objects. Many find the puzzles approachable and satisfying, with some noting that later levels or Nightmare mode provide more challenge. The short length appeals to players looking for a brief puzzle game, though others wish there were more levels.
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.
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.
Navigate 3D environments that defy the laws of physics. Manipulate oversized objects and exploit the architecture itself to guide Bob safely through each level.
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.
