Remember House Party? The game made news back when it was first released on Steam mostly thanks to its really weird premise and the amount of gratuitous first-person sex featured. Well good news, it's about to leave Early Access. Also, the Game Grumps are going to be in it now.
Originally launched into Early Access on June 30th, 2017, House Party sees you attending, well, a house party. Throughout the party, you'll engage in lots of dialogue choices, random acts of sex and violence, and other nonsense. Apparently that also means hanging out with the Game Grumps. Back in July, developer Eek! Games held a little contest to put people into the game. The winners were both the Game Grumps and YouTuber "Lety Does Stuff." Lety has already been added to the game, but the Grumps will be put in with the full version.
Eek! Games also took the time to note that the full release has a few more features planned. The biggest is adding the ability to play as a female character instead of a male. There's also plans to make the sex look... more sexy. So there's that. However, with the game leaving Early Access soon, Eek! Games notes that they're going to be raising the price on January 6th, 2020, to $24.99. Currently, the game costs $14.99, but is on sale for $11.24 for the Steam Winter Sale.
In a press release, Eek! Games CEO Bobby Ricci had the following to say about the full release:
As for what’s left; after the Game Grumps are added, we still have stories coming for Derek, Frank, and Vickie’s final “ending,” and then we will be releasing a female POV playthrough style, that will offer up most of the same quests, but with various twists and extra content that can only be experienced this way. We’ll also be combing over all of the existing content and making sure we tie everything together in a cohesive way creating a nice sense of fluidity with the player’s choices.
House Party has to climax at some point, and your support has made it possible for our game to have the biggest explosive finale. And after HP has left EA behind, we’ll continue to support it while we begin working on our next venture-something we’re excited to talk more about, but only when the time is right
House Party is currently available on PC for the price of $14.99.
