Alright, how did we miss this one?! 1950s mystery narrative game This Bed We Made has crept back into the Xbox charts recently due to a small discount, and apparently it's a pretty great indie title for anyone who likes a good story.
The premise is that you play as a chambermaid called Sophie who ends up snooping around strangers' rooms and uncovering a sinister mystery - with the gameplay featuring plenty of puzzles, exploration and even multiple endings.
Here's a sample of some of the Xbox reviews - it has 4.5/5 on the UK Xbox Store and a "Very Positive" Steam rating:
Antrostophy on Xbox: "This game was what I was looking for. Great suspenseful detective work, good work on the story's direction. I love the multiple choices that could lead to different endings. I personally thought the game ran smoothly on my Series X. Characters were so good to the point where I wish this game was longer, but for its price I can't argue. Overall a fantastic play, may play again to get a new ending, but nevertheless I highly recommend this if you are looking for a solid detective/mystery game which has some sweet hints of RP in it! We need more titles like this for sure."
Meggs20 on Xbox: "Seen a streamer on TikTok playing it after coming across the release video and figured I would try it out, I was not disappointed, I wish there was more games like this one. Only feedback I have is that I wish the game was longer especially being that it was $24. Finished it in 1 day, overall.. 5/5. Hope to see more games like this one from these developers."
As hinted at above, the only major downside we're spotting is that This Bed We Made has a short runtime — somewhere around the three to four-hour mark — so that might put a lot of people off, even at the currently discounted price of £13.64 / $16.24 for Xbox Game Pass members. Otherwise though, it sounds like this is well worth considering!
