A Good Night's Rest

A game of two halves, A Good Night's Rest is a beautifully hand-drawn tale of young adulthood inspired by personal experiences of managing mental health felt by the creatives at Rookery Interactive. Navigating the personal challenges of starting a new chapter in life – leaving friends, family, and the comforts of home to start afresh at university – can be tough, but it's even tougher when the struggles of the day become monsters of the mind.

In A Good Night's Rest players will spend the daytime managing resources and making decisions that will alter the course of the game, offering single-player cozy gameplay. But the night is something different altogether. With an understanding of the toll that poor mental health has on the subconscious mind, Rookery Interactive presents this with a vastly different gameplay style for the night cycle. Fears and concerns felt during the day manifest into monsters from the depths of the subconscious, and it's up to players to face those monsters in this turn-based tactical horror RPG.
