Don’t drive yourself to insanity
In this free-to-download game, Tell Me A Bedtime Story is about the player putting their daughter — who has a penchant for scary stories — to sleep, but there’s a twist. Depending on your choice of words, you can make your daughter fall asleep or worse, lose your sanity.
To play Tell Me A Bedtime Story, you need to select one of the three words provided on the screen. However, choose carefully as certain words can slowly drive you insane or elicit a positive or negative reaction from your daughter. It’s a game over if you lose your sanity or your daughter is still awake. It also has jumpscares, multiple endings, achievements, and three difficulty levels. One drawback of this game is that you can’t craft a story using pre-made sentences, which would have been better given its title.
Tell Me A Bedtime Story makes use of keywords rather than pre-made sentences to tell a bedtime story. While the player’s daughter loves scary stories, they must be careful with their word choice lest they become insane. The best aspects of this horror game are the achievements and multiple endings.
