Homebody is a time-loop horror narrative that tackles grief, getting older, facing your own mortality, and escaping depression. You arrive at a spooky house filled with all kinds of contraptions, and you set forth on a time loops across a single evening when a killer breaks in, and murders your friends. It is up to you to solve puzzles and unravel the mysteries of the house, intertwined with learning why you are there, and the issues you have with your friend group.

I really love the presentation, but the game just doesn't hit for me. I am not big on puzzles, and the story just was not enough to carry me through to the end. I ended up just using a guide because I wanted to see the ending and find out if it would have that AHA moment for me, and sadly it just didn't. I will say that the ending was good, but not really what I was looking for.

Overall a great concept that just falls flat on the execution for me. If you are into puzzle games though, this is pretty neat!
