Bedrotting

Interesting idea/concept, but followed with poor execution. The gap between 2 achievements (16.5% and 85.5%) clearly shows how tedious the gameplay is, which is about stat management and avoiding aiming certain objects. It would be better if duration of each day were shorter. For the story aspect, I wish there were more MC's thoughts along with interaction with her mother, especially on the ending. P.S. I would rather choose neutral/informative over negative, considering you could buy this game for less than $1 during sale.

Bedrotting is an indie psychological horror experience that takes a surprisingly relatable modern concept and transforms it into an unsettling survival game. Developed and published by Marginalact, the game places players in the role of a young woman whose life has spiraled into isolation following a traumatic accident. Confined almost entirely to her bed, she must endure twenty days while battling both physical needs and a deteriorating mental state. Rather than relying on traditional horror tropes involving haunted mansions or monster-filled landscapes, Bedrotting builds its tension from emotional exhaustion, loneliness, and the fear of losing control over one's own mind. The game's most distinctive quality is its commitment to its premise. Nearly every mechanic reinforces the feeling of being trapped. The protagonist's world is reduced to a single room, and what might seem like ordinary daily tasks become major challenges. Players must carefully manage food, water, and basic hygiene while monitoring emotional well-being. This survival framework is intentionally simple, but it effectively communicates the burden of depression and inactivity. The limited environment creates a sen…

a fun an strange horror game

Weird and original. I enjoyed it.

I'm giving this a thumbs up with one big caveat. The pros: - cool premise - good visuals and a lot of interesting animation work The cons: VERY unbalanced pacing. Honestly, the pacing is such a major problem that it almost made be thumbs down this one. The real-time duration of the game days needed to be about half as long because most of the levels get their story beats and gameplay challenges delivered in under half the time you have to wait. Thankfully the last couple of game-days speed up, but the majority of the game leaves you waiting for the next scene rather than actively doing stuff. The reason I've still given a thumbs up despite such a major downside is that, if it wasn't for this one issue, it would easily be a thumbs up experience. Because it's a creatively interesting project by a solo dev, I still want to show positive support for their work. I believe this dev has a lot of potential and I think they could make some great work in the future :)
