Name me another game where a character makes an awkward pun/joke that doesn't quite work and tells you they're going to workshop it.” I can’t think of any – can you? “Dad banter and warmth and actual human humour. “It reminded me of Life Is Strange in that it speaks in a way I'm not used to seeing in games,” she said.
Pip (RPS in Peace) took a look at Dream Daddy when it was released in 2017. Your mileage may vary, but I’m a fan of tank controls so I’m hoping they’re at least an option.ĭream Daddy’s narrative designer Jory Griffis is now the game director for Homebody, and said: "We were excited to retain the narrative and storytelling values we learned making Dream Daddy and put them to use in a game with a totally different tone and ambitious new mechanics." Leighton Gray, one of Dream Daddy’s co-writers, is back for Homebody too and tweeted that working on the project was a “huge honor” following the game’s announcement.

Judging from the trailer it seems like you’ll be navigating Emily through the house in good ol’ original Resident Evil fixed camera style. There’s a hint system though, so you could always use that. Game Grumps and Rogue say that Emily’s escape will be “impossible at first”, but that every run will help to solve the mystery. Homebody revolves around Emily, a woman with a shadowy past who ends up trapped in a house while being stalked by a masked killer. Some of the same team are back for this one though. Homebody will channel the slasher film aesthetic of the 1980s, a stark tonal shift from the hand-drawn cheesecake colourfulness of Game Grumps and Rogue Games' first collaboration, Dream Daddy. Not content with just a foothold in the world of dad-dating visual novels, Game Grumps have decided to team up with Rogue Games to develop a psychological horror game.
