GBU Reviews - Homebody
25The Game Grumps have worn me down, it's time to play Homebody! I was pleasantly surprised with how good this game is, but I came in with 0 expectations. But those 0 expectations also meant I was a little confused on day 1, apparently, I'm supposed to die.
So on today's episode, we're talking about signposting, and how I would have adjusted day 1 of this story-driven escape room thriller to help get players off to a better start.
My name's Joel, I'm a game designer and this is another episode of GBU reviews. I'll break down the good things I like, the bad things that need work, and suggest some ugly, back-of-the-napkin solutions that I would have tried if I were on the design team.
