The Bed Above My Head is a new take on the horror genre, and its coming for PC in the first quarter of 2026. For those seeking something innovative yet nostalgic, The Bed Above My Head provides a combination of coziness and soul crushing terror. The developer behind it has planned something very clever that instantly got me hooked, and I’m willing to give it a try if a demo drops eventually. As always, indie developers keep innovating in a medium that feels stale thanks to the greed of triple A publishers who only rely on the polymorphic content strategy, not acknowledging games as art.
The Bed Above My Head is coming soon
We still don’t have a clear date for the game to release, but I have the feeling this might happen quite soon. If you are interested in the nostalgic vibes coming from this game perhaps you should give it a spot in your wishlist. I want to see small projects like this succeed, because the more options we have coming from smaller developers then the more effort triple A developers will need to put in the games they make, perhaps even making something truly new. The Bed Above My Head might end up becoming a big classic if the right Youtuber picks it up.
Nowadays games are trying to fight for the attention of the average person, and a ton of new releases are happening which cloud the opportunity for niche games like The Bed Above My Head to even find success. Indie developers often struggle with the lack of funding, and often get confused with games that are published by big studios but made by small developers. An indie game is clearly one that is self published and it really comes from someone humble, it is the risky factor that makes these games fun in the first place.
