Bedtime vs. Nightmares

Toys to the rescue!

When the lights go out, the monsters come out of the closet. The kid's toys wake up and line up across the bedroom floor to keep them away from the bed. Place toys lane by lane, gather Glow from the nightlights and the moonbeams to pay for more, and stop every nightmare before it reaches the sleeping kid. Three scares and the kid wakes up.

The game

A toy box against the dark.

Pick a team of six for each night, set them out on the bedroom floor and watch them hold the line. Every night plays the same for every player, so a tip from a friend works for you too.

Toys with a job

Dart Soldiers, Teddy Brawlers, Pillow Walls, Flashlights, Marble Catapults, floor traps, magnets and toy trains. Every toy has a job: it attacks, defends, sets a trap, helps or makes Glow.

Kinds of nightmare

Armored, shielded, flying, jumping, splitting and shadowy. Light matters: nightlights don't just make Glow, their light clears the fog and weakens the Shades, who shrug off damage in the dark.

Rooms, and a boss in each

From the Bedroom and the Closet to the Attic, the Midnight Kitchen, Dreamland's Edge and the Nightmare Realm, each with its own floor, music and monsters, and a boss like the Coat Rack King waiting at the end.

A bedtime story

The first trip through the dreaming house is told in a storybook with animated pages: a new scene for every room the dream drifts into, a funny moment after every boss, and a finale after the Shadow King.

Nights in all

After the story the house goes on, lap after lap, and the bosses come back wide awake. Play a beaten night again on Hard, take on the Daily Dream, or see how long you last in Endless.

Cozy, not cruel

Sweet-dream hearts instead of an instant loss, 2× speed, a free undo, and a friendly coach with real tips when a night keeps beating you. Seasonal events dress up the house, with Frosty Nights from December 1 and more on the way.

Make it yours

Your toy box, your way.

Every toy is yours to grow. Level your favorites up to 25, with a new perk at milestone levels, and from level 100 take a toy at Lv 25 on through 25 ranks of Toy Mastery.

  • Toy looks: an Astronaut Dart Soldier, a Pajama Teddy, a Rainbow Nightlight, a Carrot Rocket that fires its carrot and more, plus looks for the bedroom, the race cars and the Glow.
  • Only for show. Same toy, same power: the battle never reads a look, and you can try anything on first.
  • Your team of six: pick it yourself, or take the Recommended team, built from your own toys, with a reason for each one ("Hits flyers", "Lobs over shields").

Coming to Steam

Up to four friends, one bedroom floor.

Bring friends into the bedroom: on one PC with every controller, over your home network, or online with your Steam friends.

  • Sleepover: 2 to 4 players defend one floor, each with their own toys. One can be the Moon in the window, who lights the room and hums the monsters slower.
  • Bunk Beds: two rooms, one stack of hearts, and gifts mailed next door when a friend needs help.
  • Pillow Fight: 1v1 or 2v2. Every nightmare you stop fills a bag of pranks for your rival's lanes.
  • Closet Keeper: be the closet, and send the night's monsters at your friends, or at Teddy.

The wiki

Every toy, in numbers.

How much does a Dart Soldier hit for at Lv 17? What does a boss do when it wakes up? The wiki has a page for every toy and every nightmare, read straight from the game's data.

  • 49 toys: damage, toughness and Glow at every level from 1 to 25, each perk, and Toy Mastery.
  • Every nightmare and boss: health, speed, what it does and which toys stop it.
  • Lv 1 against Lv 25: the same fight twice, side by side, recorded in the game.
