Is Homebody worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Horror players who want a story that unfolds through repeated attempts

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want a steady, uninterrupted story may find the repeated returns to the foyer disruptive.
- Those who prefer unpressured puzzle solving may hit a wall when the killer is nearby and time keeps moving.
- Players looking for multiplayer play may not find a group-play mode here.
Our take on Homebody
The likely sticking point is solving puzzles while the killer is active and time continues to pass. Players who want to pause and inspect every clue at their own pace may find that pressure gets in the way of the puzzle-solving loop.
What is Homebody?
Emily and her college friends meet at a remote house to watch the Perseid meteor shower, but a killer turns their weekend into a time-loop horror story.
After each fatal night, Emily wakes in the foyer and uses what she has learned to look for a way out. Players explore the house quietly, hide from the killer, and solve puzzles whose challenges change between attempts. Choice-based conversations reveal more about Emily’s relationships, while an in-game journal records clues and puzzle solutions. The story unfolds across the loops, with the house’s history and the group’s strained friendships becoming clearer as Emily pieces together what happened.
