Lost & Found: A This Bed We Made Story

3/5⭐ I played This Bed We Made earlier this year and was excited when browsing Steam and seeing that sequel was coming out this year and so soon. So as soon as it came out, I bought it and played. I knew it was going to be a short game more focused on Sophie and just a nice little story. I was a bit disappointed tough. The story is overall okay, it keeps the style from the previous one theme wise. Addressing some more sensible topics, even taboo ones, for the times the game is set in. However, this one lacks mystery, it lacks suspense. What I loved about This Bed We Made was not only the themes but the genuine suspense and uneasiness I felt. This one failed to do that, both during and in its reveal. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the characters, the banter and even the themes addressed. Especially the envelope (iykyk). But it did lack suspense or any sort of urgency like the previous one. My biggest grasp with the game is still its UI system (they didn't change anything from the previous one unfortunately). It's not the most useful design for the use it needs. I just rather memorize stuff and write them down irl than browse through that system. I only go there if I'm truly stuck and need something, which didn't happen much here since it was a short game. Also, don't know if they improved much gameplay or animation wise from the previous entry, I think it's the same honestly. Would love to see a rework on the UI system as well as the mouth and eyes animation. Overall I felt like this could've been a nice little DLC instead of a standalone game, but they priced it fairly at a DLC price, so I won't complain much (just a little). Overall, I'm intrigued to play whatever this studio makes in the future and that's a good sign. And hey, if I'm still sticking around that means they are doing something right.

J'ai apprécié retrouver l'essence de "This bed we made", ça m'a fait plaisir. D'abord petit bémol avant le positif : Compte tenu du récit, difficile je pense de faire quelque chose d'exceptionnel en si peu de temps de jeu. En l'occurence, ça n'a pas suscité mon intérêt quand bien même la thématique abordé force l'empathie et reste touchante. Le précédent opus était bien plus mémorable. Et les bons points : Le jeu est court mais efficace. En peu de temps, il a su reproduire les mécaniques et l'ambiance qui ont fait le sel de son prédécesseur. De plus, le remue-méninge est bien présent. Je l'ai trouvé quelque peu corsé sur la fin, ce qui ravira les amateurs du genre. Comme quoi, avec "peu" de contenu, il y a moyen de rassembler les ingrédients nécessaires à la satisfaction des joueurs ! Enfin, la "refonte graphique" est notable et appréciable, que ce soit pour l'environnement et pour le personnage de Sophie (qui est le véritable élément de comparaison). En bref, je trouve que les développeurs ont fait du bon boulot pour ce jeu. J'ai bien aimé et je vous le conseille (avant d'acheter et de jouer au premier ;-) bien sûr). Et peut-être un prochain épisode à suivre pour les aventures de Sophie ?... Si c'est le cas, je me tiendrais au courant des actualités à ce sujet. Pour moi, ce sera avec plaisir !

[h1] 10/10 คือดีย์ต่อใจ [/h1] ภาคเสริมจากเรื่องหลัก The Bed We Made เป็นเกมสั้นๆ แบบสั้นมากกกกก ใช้เวลาเล่น1-2ชั่วโมงก็จบ [spoiler] ไม่มีcrime scene ก็คือเนื้อเรื่องตามชื่อเรื่องเลย หาคนขโมยของ lol [/spoiler] ชอบMusic Background ฟังเพลินๆ ภาคนี้มีตัวละครเยอะกว่าภาคที่แล้ว Puzzle ไม่ยาก Animation โอเค แต่ก็ยังดูแข็งทื่ออยู่ โดยรวมคือ เหมือนDev ทำภาคนี้มาให้หายคิดถึงเฉยๆ [b] [i] แถมทิ้ง cliffhanger ปูทางไปภาคต่อด้วย [/i] [/b]

I played the original This Bed We Made multiple times - I loved the style, theme and story and found it very relaxing to play. I was so excited when I saw that this was coming out! I expected it to be about 1-2 hours long, so that wasn't an issue for me. I just thought that the story was lacking on this one. I know it is only a short add-on, but I still expected more after the first game. It's so nice to be back with Sophie again though, and I really hope we get a 'proper' sequel in the not too distant future!

Jeu très cool, je suis vraiment fan mais beaucoup trop court, encore plus que le premier (environ 3h de jeu) :'( Mais ca vaut le coup! Je rêve d'un gros jeu This bed we made, ya tellement de potentiel!

This was a lovely short little game! As someone who really enjoyed This Bed We Made, it's an amazing addition to Sophie's story. You get to see what's going on in her life, including the outcomes of the choices you made in the first game. What I love is that these don't feel shoe-horned in to appease people. The choices feel like they matter, even though they don't make a huge change to this story. It's nice to have a cozy little game with a mystery to solve that is (thankfully) far less intense than the first game. Sophie is happy, you're happy, you clean a little, you snoop a little. It's a good time! My only complaints are that I couldn't play this on my Steam Deck because although the controls are there, the frame rate dropped and everything was choppy. That is more of a nice to have than anything else for me! But for some, it's their only machine and they might want to take a chance even though it's not verified yet. Hopefully that's a fix that'll come soon, though! My other complaint was the mouth animations not really matching up to the voice, but that's likely just me being nitpicky. Overall, an amazing short story addition to Sophie's story and I highly recommend :) Also, to the devs: once upon a time, I was a game writer and producer, and the industry spit me back out. I lost my love for working on games after that, but genuinely, the amount of love that went into this is felt. It's made me want to actually start working on games that will likely never see the light of day, but it's so lovely to just be doing it. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for reigniting my passion <3

A very nice 'extra' for everybody who liked This Bed We Made, and everybody who didn't.
