game whine is bringing players another game, this time in partnership with Rogue Games otaku.Homebody is a narrative-driven horror game that relies heavily on tropes from the classic ’80s hack and slash movies, and it’s up to you to help protagonist Emily avoid an unfortunate fate.
As a psychological horror game, Homebody is very different from Game Grumps’ previous Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator adventure, which is exactly what it sounds like (albeit a lot healthier than you might think). Jory Griffis, game director at Game Grumps Homebody, shared: “We’re obsessed with horror games, so after leaving Dream Daddy, exploring the horror genre was a natural shift.”
Jory Griffis also explained, “We’re excited to retain the narrative and storytelling values we learned while making Dream Daddy and use them in a game with a completely different tone and ambitious new mechanics.” Dream Daddy It unfolds in some sort of visual novel format, so we’ll likely expect similar elements from Homebody, although it looks like the game will feature free movement and some open roaming.
Homebody will follow Emily to delve into the secrets of her past and help her find freedom from her murderer. You must avoid killers, solve puzzles, and make impactful conversational decisions. Additionally, Homebody will feature a responsive AI enemy system; this, combined with impactful decision-making, promises to make every gaming experience unique.
Homebody is expected to arrive later this year, according to Chris Archer, chief strategy officer at Rogue Games. It’s definitely a different direction for Game Grumps, but what do you think?
