Jun 6, 2023Homebody is truly a wonderful debut from the mind of Jory Griffis, with features reminiscent of notable classics such as The 7th Guest, Silent Hill, and Clock Tower, that are sure to leave devoted survival horror fans engaged and enthralled. As Emily progresses in the narrative, the killer will begin to appear earlier and earlier, creating a sense of urgency in the player that everything is about to come to a grand finale. With the world having collectively gone through its own period of isolation recently, Emily’s struggle with agoraphobia really drives home some feelings that many are sure to relate to and be moved by. The satisfying conclusion to Emily’s story is one that won’t soon be forgotten.

Jun 5, 2023Homebody is a solid enough experience that works better for puzzle fans than horror fans. The time loop aspect of the game degrades the limited scares to little more than an inconvenience, leaving a dynamic puzzle game that tests your mind and provides the satisfying reward of solving them. This game is a character study at heart, and provides a unique look inside the mind of an introvert racked with anxiety in an interesting way, though doesn't capitalize on all the potential that came with it.
