Homebody is a narrative-driven survival horror puzzle game developed by Game Grumps and published by Rogue Games, released on June 1, 2023, for Windows (PC) platforms such as Steam and the Epic Games Store. The story follows Emily and her college friends who reunite at a remote rental house to watch the Perseid meteor shower, hoping to mend old wounds. When the power goes out, what should have been a relaxing weekend quickly becomes a nightmare as a mysterious killer begins picking off the group one by one. Players must explore the eerie, retro-inspired house, solve non-linear, devious puzzles, and avoid the relentless killer to escape.
Deaths aren’t the end — Homebody uses a time loop mechanic where each failed escape reveals more clues and deepens the mystery, letting players piece together what truly happened. The game draws inspiration from classic 80s slasher films and survival horror titles, blending nostalgic aesthetics with modern design elements. As players uncover fragments of the story through exploration, dialogue choices, and an in-game clue journal, they uncover layers of psychological horror tied to anxiety, isolation, and relationships. Homebody has been praised for its atmosphere, responsive AI, and emotionally engaging narrative.
