Homebody is an 80s slasher from Dream Daddy dev

Game Grumps is back.

Homebody is an 80s-inspired, narrative-driven psychological horror game from the least likely of developers: Dream Daddy A Dad Dating Simulator‘s Game Grumps.

“Uncover the secrets of Emily’s past and find a way out of the house by avoiding the killer, solving the puzzles, and making dialogue decisions,” Game Grumps said, describing the game in a press release. “Impossible at first, but with each attempt to put the pieces together, the blood splattered picture becomes more and more clear.”

“We’re obsessed with horror games, so when coming off of Dream Daddy, it was a natural shift to explore the horror genre,” said Game Grumps’ Jory Griffis.

“We were excited to retain the narrative and storytelling values we learned making Dream Daddy and put them to use in a game with a totally different tone and ambitious new mechanics.”

Check out Homebody below. The title is expected on Windows PC via Steam and Epic Games Store alongside “consoles” later this year.
