It tells the story of Bob, an unlucky narcoleptic who has a tendency of falling asleep in his boring office and then proceeding to sleepwalk into the dangers of the big city. Luckily, Bob has a subconscious guardian named Subob, whom spawns from the mind of Bob and whose job it is to protect the sleepwalker from any danger and guide him back to the safety of his bed.\n\nThe ever vigilant Subob must guide the constantly sleepwalking Bob on a journey through a series of surreal painting-like cityscapes where the boundary between Bob's dreams and reality have vanished, as Subob is part of Bob's subconsciousness. The result is an artistic dream world that is recognizable, yet totally different from the real world, where many things are not what they seem and dangers to the sleepwalker lurks deeper in.","99727\u002Fback-to-bed-cover.jpg","99727\u002Fback-to-bed-header.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fwatch?v=3kAUHodxfak","2014-08-06",null,9418,"back-to-bed",[18,23,26],{"company":19,"developed":21,"published":22},{"name":20},"LOOT Interactive",false,true,{"company":24,"developed":22,"published":22},{"name":25},"Bedtime Digital Games",{"company":27,"developed":21,"published":22},{"name":28},"2Awesome Studio",[30,31,32,33,34],"Platform","Puzzle","Strategy","Adventure","Indie",[36,37,38,39],"PC (Microsoft Windows)","PlayStation 3","PlayStation 4","Nintendo Switch",[41,57,72,87],{"id":42,"author":43,"outlet":46,"summary":52,"review_url":53,"review_date":54,"original_score":55,"normalized_score":56},64002,{"id":44,"name":45},3920,"Richard Seagrave",{"id":47,"logo":48,"name":49,"website_url":50,"score_format":51},27,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGameSpew-Logo.jpg","GameSpew","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamespew.com","10","Despite Back to Bed’s gentle difficulty it’s hard to not be enthralled by the experience it provides. Its unique gameplay is simple yet captivating and the visuals are simply a pleasure to look at, being clean, striking and full of colour. Its price tag of £14.99 may be a little steep for an experience that may only take you four hours to see everything it has to offer, but it is at least a cross-buy title, enabling you to play the game on PS4, PS3 and PS Vita as you see fit. If you fancy a puzzle game that oozes charm and weirdness, then Back to Bed is the game for you, just don’t expect it to challenge you mentally as much as a puzzle game probably should.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamespew.com\u002F2015\u002F08\u002Fback-to-bed-review\u002F","2015-08-28","7\u002F10",70,{"id":58,"author":59,"outlet":62,"summary":67,"review_url":68,"review_date":69,"original_score":70,"normalized_score":71},47763,{"id":60,"name":61},108,"Joey Thurmond",{"id":63,"logo":64,"name":65,"website_url":66,"score_format":51},63,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FPush-Square-Logo.jpg","Push Square","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.pushsquare.com\u002F","Back to Bed has a development story behind it that you can't help but admire. Like Octodad: Dadliest Catch, it was conceived as a student project that went from garnering accolades from a university to winning indie game competitions and finding its home on the PlayStation Network for the world to judge today. This right here is what partially captures the spirit of the indie game scene, and while you have your winners and losers, you'll always see a plethora of creativity on display that simply either did or didn't pan out as planned. It's why we can confidently express our fascination with the imaginative ideas present in Back to Bed's gameplay and pleasing yet wacky visuals, but unfortunately, our hopes and dreams were dashed in the realisation that it merely scratches the surface of its true potential, leaving much to be desired.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.pushsquare.com\u002Freviews\u002Fps4\u002Fback_to_bed","2015-08-25","6",60,{"id":73,"author":74,"outlet":77,"summary":82,"review_url":83,"review_date":84,"original_score":85,"normalized_score":86},93614,{"id":75,"name":76},8003,"Adam Standing",{"id":78,"logo":79,"name":80,"website_url":81,"score_format":51},133,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGameWatcher-Logo.jpeg","GameWatcher","https:\u002F\u002Fgamewatcher.com","I feel a little caught in the middle with Back to Bed.
