A riveting mystery game set in the 1950s
This Bed We Made invites players into a neo-noir world brimming with secrets, suspense, and sinister mysteries. Set in a 1950s hotel, this third-person narrative casts you as Sophie, a curious chambermaid whose ordinary shift takes an eerie turn when she stumbles upon the chilling secrets of the Clarington Hotel's guests.
As Sophie, players explore the hidden lives of the hotel’s guests while embarking on an adventure to unravel a web of love, heartbreak, and murder. This Bed We Made’s story depth and complexity are highlighted by its cinematic, story-rich elements, which do feature some mature content and sensitive themes.
Uncover the secrets behind each hotel guest
This Bed We Made excels in delivering an immersive gameplay experience. The exploration of the hotel's three atmospheric floors is not just about snooping around but is an invitation to indulge in the player's curiosity about the lives of others. The game’s mechanics allow for 360-degree inspection of objects, enhancing the feeling of being a real detective in a mysterious world.
The puzzles scattered throughout the game are also well-crafted, adding layers of intrigue and challenge. Solving these riddles requires keen observation and moral decisions that impact the storyline. This lifelike consequence system ensures that every action can alter the game's outcome, providing a personalized narrative experience. However, it’s worth noting that the game only has a few hours’ worth of gameplay, which is relatively short in comparison to similar titles.
Forming relationships is another core component of the game. These relationships are not just for show; they influence the progression of the story and can change the game's multiple endings. Furthermore, the game’s aesthetic is beautifully crafted, with well-made 3D graphics that capture the essence of the 1950s, and visual and auditory elements working in tandem to create a gripping, almost cinematic experience.
Short but impactful
This Bed We Made offers a captivating, albeit brief, journey into a world of secrets and suspense. Its intriguing story, combined with well-executed gameplay mechanics and atmospheric design, makes it a must-play for fans of mystery and narrative-driven games. If you’re hoping for a lengthier experience, though, you can check out titles like The Room and Agatha Christie: Death on the Nile instead.
