Bedlam is a first-person shooter based on a novel of the same name by award winning British author Christopher Brookmyre.
In Bedlam, players take on the role of Heather Quinn (aka Athena), a programmer at medical scanning developer Neurosphere, who finds herself transported into the world of Starfire: a nineties FPS she remembers from her teen years. Searching for an explanation and a way home, she ventures beyond Starfire, to discover a vast realm of interconnected game worlds documenting the evolution of the FPS genre and of video games in general.

Novel-based meta-shooter... but with plain levels
This review is for the PC (Microsoft Windows) version
An oddity of a first person shooter/adventure game based on a sci-fi novel with an actual video game theme, with a background to the popular and cultural games we play with plenty of fun discoveries. It's heavy with dialogues to keep us up with the plot but fortunately, it doesn't get in the way of the game's flow. Gameplay- and design-wise, though, it is an unpolished, flawed game but the overall concept makes this game provide a unique experience!
