In Under the Bed, you play as a young man struggling with terrifying nightmares and disturbing hallucinations that blur the lines between reality and madness. Seeking help from your psychologist, Zafiro, you’re assured that your symptoms are simply due to stress. Yet, deep down, you sense there are far darker forces at play.
As you juggle mounting debt, a life-shattering project, and a series of unsettling events in your small, tranquil town—including a killer hiding in the woods—you feel something sinister lurking just beneath the surface. The last thing you need is another problem, but when strange sensations and mysterious presences begin to haunt you at night, you’re forced to confront the creeping possibility that something—or someone—might be watching you from beneath your bed. Your sanity is hanging by a thread. Can you uncover the truth before it consumes you?
