This Bed We Made

if you are on a weekend and looking for a nice short /4 hour/one sit game this is the one. the story is good , makes you wanna reveal the mystery , puzzles are challenging and it is cool explore all the different endings
i think it is worth to but when on sale tho just because it is short :)

i really loved the game because it had a lot of plot twists and story progresses that I really did not expect to happen. I loved all the details of the game, and I think the developer really did a good job! everyone should try playing this game

Such a fun point and click game. It was super interesting playing through with each of the acolytes but I really wish it went for longer to dive more into their personal stories.

The game is rather short for 30 dollars CAD. Honestly it felt like I played chapter 1 of what should have been a longer story. I did honestly enjoy the story it wasn't too bad, but I don't think its worth 30 dollars with the lack of content. Story games in particular this one felt like rushed to the climax and ended so abruptly. It felt more like a short story.. While the graphics are nice and the setting is captivating it lacks too much in what really matters. I wouldn't buy it at full price, I would buy it at half the price.

Having only finished this twice i'm still not sure how much influence you can have over the police interview (it seems like not a lot which is very disappointing given it's supposed to be the climax), but despite this the whole mechanic of swaying a police investigation by removing or not removing evidence from hotel rooms is dynamite. It would be nice if along with the still images that depict the specific endings you get, it actually spelled out what you did or didn't do to get that ending, so you can go back and change things more easily.

I also never once used the progress screen properly, as the main story is so short and linear that it would be very difficult to forget objective, clue or character details and only near the end when you're given a lot of information at once did i even notice the clues and characters screens even existed.

It would be nice if we got to interact with some of the guests and more staff. We learn a lot about various people and their relationships but because the way we find out a lot of the side stories is scattered and non-linear (and at most they amount to illustrations, minor notes or voices in other rooms), they seem distant and frankly uninteresting after a while. And this is on top of your sidekick for the game being on the end of a telephone for most of it. It's quite a lonely game to be honest. My first playthrough i was very cautious to make guests' rooms look untouched because i was anxious they would suddenly appear and cause a riot (especially in guests' rooms i wasn't supposed to be in) but i realised that actually, nobody ever shows up, so i am free to do what i want in this apparently occupied yet inexplicably empty hotel floor with no immediate consequences whatsoever. Which is really deflating and spoils the experience.

There is one jarringly arbitrary part of the game where it refuses to let you pass through a doorway because of a spillage. In order to clean up this spillage you have to get a mop that's right by another spillage you can walk over easily. There is no reason that particular spillage blocks your path, it isn't different to any of the others in the game and has no effect on the story, nor does it start a cutscene or anything like that. I don't know why they chose to do it and it unreasonably bothers me.

Also the cutscenes aren't skippable which makes multiple playthroughs a chore.

But then why am i recommending it?
Well because it is actually really fun. The story unfolds well and there's a lot of moral greyness for you to wade through when choosing what evidence to keep or throw away, despite some heavy-handedness at the end (it does work in the context of the character). The only major criticism i have is that it isn't ambitious enough. It's supposed to be a flippin' hotel and yet you are stuck with one major plotline and get to explore maybe six of the guests' rooms maximum, one of those being the tutorial room. At £20 it feels a little overpriced, but with even a 25% discount it would make a more palatable experience.

I love a good mystery game, this is so fun and I love all the little choices you can make the really affect the outcome. High replay value imo.

This is a fantastic short game! Great mysteries, wonderful voice acting, fun plot

LOVED this game and I like it when games show me storytelling instead of hand-holding me through it. I wish it was a little longer but it definitely felt like one of those table top mystery games you play with your friends. The acting was superb and really made me love all the characters. Played it multiple times so I can smooch both Beth and Andrew. >:3

My only con is that I need it to be longer!! Give me a span of a few days leading up to the climax!!

Amazing game, really wish it was longer and able to do more maid duties by cleaning more rooms.

this was a really cool game! i honestly feel like there could be chapters or different storylines branching out from this as it felt a little short, but the gameplay was great and the puzzles were fun. there is a very tiny amount of replayability by being able to choose your partner in crime/love interest each time, but other than that, super linear. love a good noir though! felt like a modern day Nancy Drew, would recommend! (at a slightly discounted price)

A fun little mystery game with nice interactive puzzles and a satisfying finale

theres a bunch or little clues and riddles to figure out and snooping around rooms. love this game but i wish we could go to more areas in the hotel

This isn't an investigation game about finding the right suspect and getting a sense of accomplishment out of it. If you want a game like this, don't waste your time with This Bed We Made.
This game is about the objects that tell stories. You can shape the whole development of the game by keeping or hiding items. And the process of finding out clues about the guests of the hotel is really satisfying.
I wasn't expecting the game to be like this, but to me it was a really nice surprise.

Such a incredible game!
love story telling. great puzzle and game play.
btw. Beth SO HOT

What an interesting story! Definitely lots of replayability with the different outcomes you can have throughout the story. I'll definitely be coming back to this one to try to get the rest of the achievements.

Great story, great voice acting and true choice and consequences. Really enjoyed this short experience.

was a fun short choose your own adventure mystery game. but in the trailers i thought the stalker man would play a bigger part and it didn't, which is a little disapointing, Otherwise a great game and i enjoyed it

One of the better and more interesting p&c adventure games I've played. I like the setting very much, and the main character is such an adorable weirdo creep - finally a game that justifies well through the narrative snooping around and going through other peoples' stuff :D Great writing and characters.

Cute game, looks great, runs great, sounds amazing. Very short unfortunately, but honestly i don't think the story should've been any longer, i just enjoyed it enough to wish there was more :P

This is a choice game and there are 28 or something like that endings - the replay value is so high! It took me about 3 hours to complete it the first run through and I did not explore as much as I could have. You can take your time and click on so much and explore through so much! Very great atmospheric game with a little romance and detective snooping on the side. Would definitely recommend this!

Was a fun one for sure! and has a unique feel to it, planning to go back and do different playthroughs soon.

I really enjoyed this game! I wish we'd gotten a bit more backstory on some of the coworkers, and some of Sophie's backstory could have been peppered in earlier. Like her mom having a mental illness, which would have an understandable impact on motivation/perspective, though I only learned that in the Andrew playthrough, and I don't know yet if it's different with Beth?? It seems like Andrew would be sympathetic toward Paul and Beth toward Anne & Marcella, but it would be weird if details like that changed so I hope not I also wish more of the hotel was open to you, like the ballroom or the kitchen/restaurant. Also what happened at the Valentine's Day party??? I have so many questions and only a handful of vague details!

Other quibbles: some of the dialogue is unskippable, as are cutscenes, which is really annoying when you're doing a second playthrough or loading a save to make a different choice. (Long Live the Queen, for example, has the option to fast forward through dialogue you've already seen, which can be toggled easily -- that would be really helpful here!) The movement is a little clunky, too. It also was frustrating to me that there were some parts you couldn't clean up -- like the couch bed for Hector. If you're throwing things away to protect M & A and saying that M was a devoted wife, wouldn't it make sense to then have the option to clean up the couch bed to help support that?

This all makes it sound like I didn't like the game, but I really did! I like how complex the story is and how seemingly unconnected characters are actually VERY connected. Also, we're here for anonymous sapphic romance novelist Marcella + a cute sapphic couple who are either imprisoned murderers (be gay, do crime) or ride off into the sunset with their son. The quibbles exist because I really think this game has some great bones. I truly enjoyed it, but it felt like it just fell a bit short of the mark I was hoping it could hit.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ would recommend!

PS as a librarian, myself, I'm unreasonably salty (kidding) (mostly) that Andrew didn't choose to become a librarian instead of opening a bookstore. I mean, books + helping people = librarian. Tho ig owning a bookstore means you could make sure you had a stock of banned books (tho if you think librarians aren't doing shit like that, you need to talk to more librarians lmao)

Short, not many puzzles, but there's multiple endings and it's nice to see that my actions have consequences!

Good game. Great atmosphere and setting, interesting story, and good characters and voice acting. It's essentially an adventure game inside of a mystery wrapper.

I was hoping for more of a deductive reasoning Obra Din-alike, so just be aware that it's not that. Still worth checking out though, especially on sale. It's a little short, but it doesn't overstay its welcome, which I appreciate.

I liked the game at first. It reminded me of Nancy Drew games if you are familiar, if they had a bit more animation. The story was a bit of a letdown. It was good and getting better, and I was expecting to encounter some kind of something more after the interrogation with the police, but then it just ended very abruptly. I thought there would be a more satisfying conclusion and a bit more story. The game is good if you want something that is very easy to get through and digest. Slightly overpriced for what you get in my opinion (at full price), though I do not regret my purchase.

A short and sweet murder mystery game, I got all endings and achievements within the 10 hours I played. It was very cute and cozy (at least, the mystery solving part was cozy), though I do think it was maybe too short. I love shorter games, but a lot of the functions in the game gave you a tutorial, just to only do it one more time, and never again. For example, the lying system. As tight as the script/game was, I almost think the game would have benefited from a little more breathing room in every department: a few more rooms (we don't even go into 3 rooms on our floor), a few more puzzles, seeing a few more of the characters, a few more details on Sophie so we can care about her story a bit more, etc. Overall, I did really enjoy the game and I would recommend it if you like short murder mystery games.

This Bed We Made is super cool. It's a slow burn thriller set in a very prejudicial 1950s. That is a key part of the story in many ways. There's tons of opportunity to snoop around, read letters, and uncover the hidden lives of the guests in your hotel while still taking a while to truly fit the pieces together.

The game gives you lots of options with consequences in what you interact with. Do you clean up the mess? Do you throw out this letter? Do you wipe up this message written in a moment of anger? Do you protect your co-workers from getting in trouble with the boss?

The puzzles are great. Very few games have puzzles that genuinely make you think. They can't easily be guessed, at least not until you figure out a certain amount of it already. It's sort of a mini-scavenger hunt mixed with critical thinking. I really loved the puzzles, though there aren't a whole lot of them.

The story is great. The character interactions are really interesting. The characters all feel fleshed out and real. The story starts with yourself at the center of it and as you uncover more and more, the story expands and you get some cool plot twists. Then take the setting and time period into account and some of the story and decision-making gets additional complexity to it.

This Bed We Made is a really cool, chill walking simulator with tons of interactivity. You spend most of your time snooping through hotel rooms while occasionally seeing other parts of the hotel and its staff. My brain started working overtime trying to piece the story together and it's genuinely hard to figure out until the game lets you. That's a testament to the writing because this story has some unexpectedly neat twists and turns. Highly recommend for anyone who prefers narrative over gameplay.

Also, oh boy did I fuck up the choices in this game. The first choice I fucked up is I chose Andrew as my love interest because I didn't realize I was choosing my love interest. I simply thought that Beth said she was stuck behind the desk and couldn't leave so Andrew would be more helpful since he could wander the hotel. Then I fucked up the end. All of them went to prison lol.

I expected way more from this game, it was slow, repetitive and super short :( I didn't like it

It's a fun game. Great graphics, the gameplay is a bit short! Hope to see more from these guys. Oh the voice actress, she's amazing and that goes for the supporting characters too!

This is an excellent game with many different options and exciting discoveries. Basically it's my idea of a great game. The puzzles are challenging enough without being so difficult as to be discouraging. The graphics are very nice. Also, I did not get seasick.

If you enjoy mystery and investigation stories this game is a good pick, Its like watching a movie but you make the decisions. I had fun playing, the story was very entertaining. My only issue is how short the game is for the price, Although the story was very good I was able to finish the game in about 4 hours, if you're really bored and the game is on sale it for $10ish its worth a try.

I really enjoyed the time I spent with this game and story. The art work and story telling is great. It's very immersive and fun. I like the game play mechanics, it lends itself well to playing with a controller or keyboard. It kept my interest and I enjoyed the characters. If you like a good story, good artwork, and an interesting environment to immerse yourself in for a while, you'll enjoy this game.

very good game. i liked the cleaning and snooping especially. should have a mode to just do that lol. work great on the steam deck as well. kudos to the creator. mahalo

SO FUN!! and criminally underrated, amazing characters, cosy style, interesting puzzles and mystery and it's addictive! on my fourth run of this game :D

I really enjoyed the game! The story was really entertaining but I wish it was longer.

A very fun and sweet murder mystery that's more heavy on the investigation before the actual murder! I enjoyed the harder topics that were covered in the game and I think the tone was excellent throughout. Wonderful story! Good job to the devs!

If you’re looking for a slow-paced game that leaves you with a sense that something is missing, then this is the one for you. I enjoyed the first few segments, but as I progressed toward the end, it all fell flat for me. The graphics and voice acting are solid, though.

The relationships you form in the game, while nothing to get excited about, are pretty good. The real-life elements of actually working in a hotel are well-represented.

That said, the ending was definitely not worth the build-up. I felt completely detached from it and was left wondering what had just happened—I had no answers.

If you can get it for cheap, it’s worth a try; otherwise, it’s not for me.

I was expecting a cleaning game with investigative moments not the story i was expecting! the story took a turn in a very unexpected direction of i loved every minute of it!! Imma be replaying the game until i get every option of endings because i wanna see how it plays out.

I really enjoyed this game. I have played it 3 times already trying to get different outcomes (I ended up with the same outcome twice) Going to try multiple times to try and see how interesting I can make this game. I already recommended this game to my dad, so hopefully he enjoys it as much as I did.
I love Sophie's character, reminded me of myself because I am also extremely nosy, so this game was absolutely perfect for me!

As someone who likes story-based games, I enjoyed this game a lot! I was invested from the moment I started playing right up until the end. I like how the dialogue choices you make actually effect how the story/game ends. I liked the mystery and didn't think it was predictable at all (or maybe I'm stupid lol). I really can't say there was anything I disliked. Great game! Would definitely reccommend!

The game price is a bit too high for the length of the game and the adventures you experience, however, I saw a streamer playing this game, and it caught my full attention immediately. I recommend this to a friend, but I would suggest waiting for it to be on sale. My rating: Characters 3/5 (I would love to see more characters and interact with them), story 4.5/5, gameplay 5/5, graphics 5/5, conversations 4/5. Overall rating will be 4/5. Hope this helps <3

It's not horror... and I was overthinking the puzzles like you would not believe. I kept getting everyone fired and got probably the worst ending in the entire game.... all while I thought I was going to be helping. Now I'm wanting to play again to see if I can fix my mistakes.

It's fun and immersive. The characters are quite interesting as well. The game is short though.

The story isn't too bad, the pacing isn't either. Though, when you replay it a few times, I do wish they implemented skipping full on cutscenes, but that's only if you played the game first and know what to expect when playing it again. But, I'm not complaining too much here.
Overall, just a good game and I recommend playing it!

I got totally sucked in as soon as I started. I found the characters and the story compelling, but I also felt frustrated at times with some very unclear instructions. Overall, great mystery game that I am definitely going to replay to see more endings.

Pretty engaging story, and a nice atmosphere/period-accurate portrayal. Only gripe I have is that the game sort of requires multiple runs for "true ending" (or at least various permutations of events) but there are things that prevents replaying from enjoyable (for example, forced cut scenes that you cannot skip). If not for these flaws, this is pretty fun little investigation game.

Without getting into spoilers, as soon as I started to realize the weight that my choices had on the end game, I agonized over them. While I never worked in a hotel, I spent many years as a janitor, and this game nails what it feels like to be a service worker. The writing is brilliant, the characters are believable, and I'm definitely playing this through a second time to try and get a better ending.

I really hope this developer makes more games, because this is one of the best times I've had in one. 10 out of 10 no notes.

It's clear that a lot of love and care went into this game and the final product is really great. Will definitely be replaying to get a better ending because I think I messed up at every single turn...but I still had a great time!

great game, the choices you make matter, but the game's pretty short.

The game is good and enjoyable. The only thing is that I couldn’t shake off the feeling of suspense - like I was about to get caught at any moment. Also, the romantic element felt a bit forced, though maybe that’s just me. In any case, it was nice to reminisce about the times when I used to play Nancy Drew.
