Since making its game development debut in 2017 with 'Dream Daddy,' the content-creation group has remained silent on its next video game project, until now. Homebody is a thriller and horror game hybrid that takes inspiration from 1980s-era movies such as 'Halloween.' The game has a unique, polygonal art style with eerie, dimly lit environments and unsettling imagery. In the game, players will need to assume the role of Emily, a girl thrust into a dangerous situation. Throughout the game, players will help Emily and her friends evade the pursuing killer while solving puzzles, navigating environments, and learning more about the game's world.
