Welcome back, Chinese party goers!

We’re delighted to announce that the recent in-game language error has been identified and fixed by House Party HQ! This will address the mismatched or “out of order” translation entries that many of you encountered and will offer minor improvements to translation quality and a few missing translations.

Please do keep in mind that none of these translations are currently fully complete.

There is also NOT a Steam update for these localization changes. To update the game, restart the House Party application and the new translations will download once you reach the Title Screen. It is possible that some brahs and babes with regional ISP blocks or other internet issues will not receive the update automatically.

If you have difficulties getting the localization to work, visit our Steam Discussions FAQ, the Bug Reports section, or our Discord server for more support and information: https://discord.gg/EAA9V2FtQH

Huzzah! You can confidently walk through the House Party doors once again, so come join Steph in the lounge for a celebratory dance, and don’t forget to open a bottle or two! ...When Frank isn’t looking, of course.

See you there!

The Eek Games team

We’ve noticed a lot of you have been asking about the details of the playable female character and how it ties in with us leaving Early Access. We have already made some strides toward implementation, and we thought since there was so much interest, we could share some behind the scenes peeks and information about where we’re at.

So first off, we’ll just leave this small teaser here.



Now that that’s out of the way, here’s a wall of text and some things to note for those of you hungry for more details :)

1. The playable female character will NOT be a DLC, and WILL be included in the base House Party game.

2. The female playable character and the new mystery guest we have planned for next year are NOT the same thing. The mystery guest will be a new non-player character that can be added to the game via DLC after we exit Early Access. We’ll have more news on that later on.

3. After our next update (Vickie Vixen’s end game content), which is estimated to be finished in the next few months, the playable female character will be our main priority, alongside full controller support, and various other tweaks and polish as we head toward exiting Early Access.

4. The female playthrough will be similar to the male playthrough in many ways, but there will be new core game mechanics, and exclusive content that will only be available if playing as a female.

5. We are aiming to get the playable female character out BEFORE we leave Early Access, which is tentatively scheduled for March of 2022. We are working diligently to hit those goals, but of course as you know, things can spring up unexpectedly, and our main priority is putting out a great player experience first and foremost, so everything is potentially subject to change.

6. Just because we are exiting Early Access doesn’t mean we are going to stop working on House Party. We feel that the game has come a long way and is finally in a state where the content will be finalized, but that doesn’t mean we won’t continue to polish it up or fix bugs or release quality of life updates in the future. We also have a lot of ideas of things to add to House Party, but we will be transitioning to doing so in the form of DLC after we leave Early Access, as the core game mechanics that we originally envisioned for the game have already been added, and we also added a bunch of stuff along the way that we never intended to originally, like combat, cutscenes, controller support, and localization to list a few.

7. Our pricing may change as we transition to leave Early Access. Though this is pretty typical for most games, for us, it’s because we have a LOT in the works for the future of House Party, and our studio in general, some of which we have just been starting to hint at. Things are evolving rather quickly, and some of you might be very surprised to see what we have in store for you. That being said, part of that process involves continually taking inventory of what we need and who we need to reach our goals, and as the scope of this project has changed over the years, so has our need to continually expand our team. We aren’t talking about any major changes to pricing here, but probably small tweaks and reassessment to make sure we can continue to bring new content to this game and future games consistently.

We’re working hard on all of these things, and we appreciate all of your support and patience as we figure all this stuff out. We have more exciting announcements coming soon. Enjoy!

After House Party leaves Early Access in March 2022, a new mystery guest arrives in our first ever DLC pack!

Great guesses so far. And it's not the female player; she'll be added to the base game before or around our exit from Early Access.

We'll announce who the guest is soon!

We have awesome news for our international brahs: House Party now has localization for Italian!

We also have the Chinese and Russian translation updates ready, and our Turkish translation has received some additional polish. Keep in mind that none of these translations are currently fully complete, and the update does not fix pre-existing font issues with Turkish or other languages.

There is NOT a Steam update for the localization changes. To update your game, restart the House Party application and the new translations will download once you reach the Title Screen. It is possible that some users with regional ISP blocks or other internet issues will not receive the update automatically.

If you have difficulties getting the localization to work, visit our Steam Discussions FAQ or the Bug Reports section for more info. And if difficulties still persist, reach out to us here on Steam, or on our official Discord and we’ll help you get your game working. Enjoy the updates to Chinese, Russian, and Turkish, and have fun playing in Italian, dudes!

If you missed it, the Frank update is out, too, bringing with it a bunch of content and ballsy humor. We've already seen a lot of you blazing your way through the new achievements, and we hope you're enjoying the story!

Also, HOUSE PARTY IS LEAVING EARLY ACCESS MARCH 2022! Releasing the same day will be House Party's FIRST DLC PACK, which will allow you to invite a brand new very special guest to the party who a lot of you may recognize!

Check out our official announcement detailing our post-release plans for House Party (including its exciting sequel, Office Party) here: https://games.eekllc.com/the-end-is-in-sight-but-its-only-just-the-beginning/. Thanks for purchasing the game and supporting us throughout our journey!

I know I haven’t done a dev blog update in a while, and it’s just because we’ve been so busy with the development of House Party, and because we’ve been working on a lot of cool stuff behind the scenes that we are finally able to start talking about. I wanted to take a moment though and update you guys because we have exciting news!

House Party is slated to leave Early Access in March of 2022!

I know we’ve announced in the past that we were going to leave Early Access. It’s definitely taken longer than expected, but we feel that all the extras we’ve added that we never originally intended to like globalization and translation, combat, controller support, a really cool new cutscene system, and more, were worth it. This time though, we are finalized on content. Or are we? Actually, I did lie a little. We have one more surprise.

On the day we leave Early Access we will be dropping a new DLC pack alongside it, which will allow you to invite a brand new very special guest to the party who… well let’s just say a lot of you may recognize. That’s all I’m going to say for now, but rest assured, this is going to be huge!

House Party has come a long way since it’s inception, and I am so proud of the team I’ve assembled and the work we’ve done to take this game from a “best I could do” one man show to a top selling polished indie game. I am also very happy we were able to persevere over the undue hardships that the media and the industry in general threw our way just because of our game themes and content, while letting the most violent and gruesome games thrive unchallenged. We really hope that our accomplishments can change these weird taboos and help pave the way for other developers and games like House Party to be able to exist and receive fair treatment in the industry.

Lastly, I just want to thank everybody who’s purchased the game and supported us throughout our journey. If it weren’t for all of you and the overwhelmingly positive player review scores that we can oh so eloquently shove in the face of the “game journalists” who loved to hate on us throughout the years, we wouldn’t be where we are today. Part of the reason our journey out of Early Access has been a long one is because we listen to your feedback, and we have taken and implemented so many of your suggestions. We do have to call it “finished” at some point though, and that point is near. As of this writing, we are putting together the Vickie “finale” story, and then it’s full steam ahead on the female main character playthrough, all of which we are aiming to be launched when we transition out of Early Access.

Like I said though; this is just the beginning. We will be releasing more “quality of life” updates for House Party after we fully transition from Early Access, and we also have some more surprise DLC packs planned down the road. We have also already started laying down some of the groundwork for our sequel game “Office Party”. Look for some amazing things happening very soon!

Do you have the balls to handle the new update? Because the Frank 0.19.4 stable release is LIVE, dudes, and his 20 pound softball-sized crotch ornaments of pure muscle are the talk of the party! This is one of our largest updates (the game has grown over 20% since the last major update) and we promise the new gameplay is worth the junk-achingly long wait!



As you explore the party, you'll now hear background dialogue hinting at Frank's storyline. Make the right choices while chatting with Frank and you can explore his story - where feelings are shattered, naughty bits are revealed, and the party uncovers the true worth of a man's meat-danglers. The update adds a huge chunk of gameplay, a major branching ending, and five all-new Original Story Opportunities. Yes, one of those results in a deeper bond with Frank. How deep? ...That’s up to you, isn’t it?



You can now watch Derek shake his big booty on the dance floor by challenging him to a dance-off! The man's got serious moves, and you’ll need to find a creative solution to get past him to progress through Frank's story. Good thing there are helpful items and people at the party that can turn the tide in your favor!

There are two new ultra-secret items hidden around Madison's place that can assist you in winning Frank’s affection, too. We know you doods are professional scavenger hunters at this point, so happy hunting! And if you DO max out your Friendship with Frank...well, let’s just say he’ll be extra grateful to anyone who goes above and beyond!

BEEP, BOOP... Did we mention we made it so Compubrah can now scan Frank? Be sure to check out the wacky new gameplay, and enjoy the various stat-boosting benefits involved!



We nerfed Frank and Leah's alcohol-detecting spidey senses, too. You can drink a bit closer to them, but you still need to avoid their watchful gaze. Also, if you finish Frank's storyline and maintain being platonic BFFs, both he and Leah will be more forgiving of booze-related transgressions. Or, if you drive Frank out of the party completely, ALL alcohol-related actions will be forgiven throughout the playthrough!

If you don’t beat up Frank at the end of Leah’s “evil” route for “Broken Code”, there is now at least one meaningful reward for sparing him. Also, in Vickie’s “Training Day” content, choosing to practice your climax skills as part of her "Training Day" Opportunity now earns you bonuses to your intimacy recharge rate so you can get back to tumbling in the sheets sooner.



A new cutscene-style intimacy system is here, as well. Frank, Katherine, Rachael, and Vickie all have unique “finales” now. We also added a static cutscene for the Master Bedroom for other Characters that can perform or repeat their intimacy reward there. Don't miss this sweet new theater-style content! And, no worries, if you guys prefer the original POV intimacy system, it’s still available via a toggle option in the Main Menu.

We also optimized performance and spruced up the gameplay graphics. These include bug fixes, cleaner aesthetics, improvements to the “missed” Opportunities UI, adjustments to character models, and updates for the hot tub so it now looks AND sounds bubbly. And in addition to all new voice acting for Frank’s update, all missing VA from previous updates has been added, as well!

Autosaves and the explicit DLC are now reliably working again, and you can manually increase the in-game FOV to 75 by going to your Graphics Options, changing the value to 75, and hitting "Apply."

Our player community also got House Party fully translated into Turkish! Teşekkür ederim. You doods are the best! If you've been waiting to play the game in Turkish, now's your chance.



French is all set too, my brahs, but we're still waiting on other languages, the status of which we'll update you via Discord.

The party's now fully equipped with an all-new wonderful, dramatic, hilarious, and disgusting experience. The Frank experience. Enjoy, dudes.

Patch Notes: https://housepartygame.com/release-notes/

Note: Older save files may no longer be compatible. Translations may have slight cosmetic bugs and be fully or partially incomplete. Custom stories may no longer function as intended. There is a known minor font issue that affects certain Turkish characters that will be fixed in a future update.

We know you doods have been waiting for more Frank content to release, and it’s finally here! Thank you guys for your patience. We had a TON of content to add and bug fix, but you can enjoy it in all of its glory now!

What’s new? All of the Frank content that was blocked off in the previous update is explorable. We’ve packed seriously hilarious stuff into this Testing update, so get hyped, but don’t you dare sneak into the liquor cabinet and drink any of that forbidden devil elixir.

We also made it possible to have a wild dance-off against your best buddy. Get him to agree to show you some of his sweet dance moves, and then light up that dance floor! Enjoy the wildness that ensues afterward.

Additionally, we added a smoking hot lap dance scene featuring Stephanie. Be sure to check it out!

Oh, but there’s hotter news: We added some first steps toward a brand new intimacy scene system where we plan to add cutscenes for all the characters during intimate scenes. Available in this update will be Frank, Katherine, and a static master bedroom cutscene for intimacy with several other characters.

For anyone who may miss the old system, we threw in an option in the in-game menus that lets you toggle the classic POV scenes back on, so you have full control over which type of intimacy experience you'd prefer having.

We also added two super-secret items around the house that can help you win the affections of your favorite bald dude. Keep in mind that if you maximize your Friendship with Frank and keep building positive feelings, you’ll now be rewarded with a Romance boost!

Frank and Leah’s booze consumption spidey senses have also been turned down. You’ll still have to stay out of their patrol zones, but you’ll be able to safely drink a bit closer to them. Also, if you complete Frank's storyline and become platonic BFFs with him, both he and Leah will be more forgiving of your booze-related actions as long as you maintain that friendship with Frank.

As a separate path opportunity in Frank's storyline, you may humiliate and drive him out of the party completely, in which ALL alcohol-related actions will be completely forgiven throughout the rest of the playthrough.

Another addition to this update is the ability to increase the in-game FOV to 75. You dudes have been asking for this for a while now, so thanks for your patience! To adjust this, go to Graphics Options, change the value to 75, and hit Apply. Keep in mind, there is a known issue with this where the FOV will reset to 60 any time the game restarts or the Graphics menu is reopened. This will be fixed in the next update.

If you're hanging out in the hot tub, you may additionally notice that we've updated the sound effects in there. We also updated the graphics for the hot tub. It now looks AND sounds bubbly.

During Leah’s storyline, you’ll notice a change, too. If you choose not to beat up Frank during Leah’s evil route, there is now at least one meaningful reward for sparing the life of your favorite alcohol-patrolling skinhead.

We also fixed a problem that many of you were having with censorship of the game. Prior to this update, the Explicit Content DLC was not working for ANY Testing branch users, but now that issue should be fully remedied! Finally, we’ve also added in a new system that lets you know which Opportunities are available to you during each playthrough versus which Opportunities you’ve messed up and can no longer access.

You can check out all the changes in the full patch notes. Whew! So, are you ready to try out the new content? Right-click House Party in your Steam Library, navigate to the “Betas” tab, use the drop-down menu to select the "Testing" option, and hit "Close!" You're all set! Be sure to report any bugs, playtest the crap out of the new content, and tell us everything you think about Frank’s massive meat clackers- uh, we mean about this Testing update. Enjoy the content, doods!

Note: Older save files may no longer be compatible. Voice acting and translations may be fully or partially incomplete. Custom stories may no longer function as intended.

Background chatter may also have a few bugs, which may significantly affect some of the Game Grumps content. Some cutscenes may prematurely end by a few seconds. There are also known bugs causing music to restart every time the game is paused and cutscene music volume to not be affected by the in-game music volume slider. There is also a known issue with the Player’s skin being “shiny.”
