A Good Night’s Rest Gameplay Trailer Showcases the Cozy Horror RPG

Rookery Interactive has revealed its debut project with the first A Good Night’s Sleep gameplay trailer. The game is a cozy horror RPG about university life.

The queer women-owned indie game studio has taken its priorities of wellness, mental health, and accessibility and applied it to its unique hybrid game.

A Good Night’s Rest gameplay trailer and details

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.

Rookery Interactive aims to tell a healthy story

“From the studio’s inception, it’s been fundamental that we make games that tell our stories as marginalized identities, and to do so in a way that avoids crunch and prioritizes the team’s wellness, mental health, and access needs,” explained Jamie Danielle, Director at Rookery Interactive, “Representation is at our core; beginning in a writers’ room led by creatives who are black, Indigenous and people of color, identifying as disabled, queer and trans. Everyone has mental health, much like everyone has physical health, and with A Good Night’s Rest, we’re centering marginalized voices by sharing our personal experiences with it.”

You can wishlist A Good Night’s Rest on Steam.
