The title promises a “surprising and responsive enemy AI system that ensures no two encounters are the same” — ensuring that players will definitely be getting chased by a crazed, masked killer, as shown in the game’s chilling trailer.
The game follows the main character, Emily and her friends, who are “haunted by memories of the past in the form of a relentless killer.” Players are tasked with making their way out of a house and avoiding this killer by uncovering clues, solving puzzles, and making dialogue decisions.
The game also boasts some rogue-lite elements: The official press release states that the adventure might be “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,” Jory Griffis, Homebody’s game director at Game Grumps, said of the upcoming title.
