I made the mistake of updating this game and now the nudity has been removed and you have to buy a DLC to get it back. Feels pretty greedy and scammy.
- [1]
in this game, you play as a kind character who resolves sisterly rivalry, chills with his best buddy, helps party guests with scavenger hunts and wardrobe malfunctions as well as finding their right careers even if it' s tough, keeps everyone from getting wasted, keeps animals safe, and volunteers for art modelling with the host. You can also do the complete opposite of each of those things.

Came for the party. Stayed for the chaos. Left because I got caught in the bathroom with a toaster and bad decisions. 10/10 — social anxiety simulator with surprisingly deep lore. 🍻🔥
- [3]
It was fun. I expected it to be more of a sex game, but it's mostly a comedy game about being at a house party.

Pretty funny gooner game. Jelk your shmelk or explore the different things you can do that don't involve taking your ♥♥♥♥ out. $25 is a bit steep, and if you're just here to jerk off then don't bother unless it goes on sale for $10 at most.
Summarised from 34 of the 221 public posts collected about this game; every point cites the posts behind it ([n] opens the post) and the split is counted from the posts’ own ratings. Updated Oct 9, 2026. How summaries are made
77% of the 189 Steam reviewers we collected recommend House Party. The complaint that keeps coming up: requires guides to progress. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Because of the controversial nature of the game, it was quickly popularized by gaming streamers and influencers such as the Game Grumps, PewDiePie, Jacksepticeye, NerdCubed, and others. The game so far has few reviews by critics, John Walker of Rock, Paper, Shotgun named the game as "Worst Game of the Year" for 2017, criticizing its portrayal of women as misogynistic.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game for virgins. Only a looser would play this for 10 hours or more.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sexual minesweeper? I've spent a ridiculous amount of time with this game only to be hard locked out of character paths without warning. Using guides is a MUST, and it sucks the fun out of the game jumping back and forth. Needs a rewind/go back feature BADLY
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →10/10. i greased up my wiener real nice before playing this game. gooned for a whole 9.8 hours. jorking masterclass, left my knob bent like beckham.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →hows it going dude, staying away from the alcohol
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is completely unlogical and unplayable. It can be played ONLY with guides, the decisions are not logical, dialogues don't help, advises don't help at all. It's terrible game design. You start playing it and after 5 hours you will end up sleeping with Kath (the only logical character), inventory full of items YOU HAVE NO IDEA AND NO CLUE WHAT TO DO WITH IT (I spent literally few hours trying to combine them, use with every character, use with every object and...nothing happens), and…

I've played several of them, and there are some pretty good ones in here. Obviously Huniepop is the classic, but House Party was a lot of fun too. And Being A DIK wasn't bad.

neutral · AI labelView post →This game takes place in a house with a few characters and a lot of talking (and listening to people talk). There are a few quests here and there but not many. Also the sexual content is pretty rare (and If you want some you need to buy a 5buck DLC). It was not what I expected it to be. It has party in the title, but there is no party at all. The characters in this game are grumpy, angry or depressed. Also most of them don't like the others (or even know them or care about them). Together with…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this game thinking it was like a satire party simulator, didn't think much into it. My friends have since made me aware this is a porn game but despite this knowledge: I still thought that. Because my rizz/ flirting is so bad, I haven't seen any of that content so far. This is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hilarious
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game CAN be fun but honestly I don't recommend it at all. trying to play this ended up driving me insane, constantly having no real idea what I'm doing, just fcking around doing whatever until I got bored then frustratingly trying to progress the story, further fcking everything up. after that the game then breaks just getting a black screen and I had to reinstall the game and use an older version. Eventually made progress and it was the most disappointing thing ever, feel like I wasted a…

There will be giveaways during the stream and everything. Bentley has been a great friend I met during this game and wants to help me raise money for my treatment.

neutral · AI labelView post →After hearing about Mixtape I think I am going to make the anti-Mixtape game like how The Looker was made as the anti-The Witness I guess but instead of making a video game I'm just gonna watch the 1990 movie "House Party" starring Kid 'n Play next time I get a chance.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Some paths are incredibly convulted and for the most part humour is not really my taste. After novelty wore off character weren't as interactive as I expected
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →25. House Party This is a game for sickos who like boardgames or something it seems like it could be pretty sweet for the right type of person but it just goes on too long for me to really wanna get into it

neutral · AI labelView post →Right, I've binned off Twitter. I'm going to give this another go. Tonight I've watched Noel's House Party, Larry Grayson's Generation Game and Blankety Blank with my parents. What a sentence to write in 2024.
neutral · AI labelView post →It just not very run. the quests are so insane and the road blocks so many that you have to play with a guide open to get almost anything done. And god forbid something bug out and you either have to reload a save from 2 hours ago or restart the whole run. it was very frustrating.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty funny gooner game. Jelk your shmelk or explore the different things you can do that don't involve taking your ♥♥♥♥ out. $25 is a bit steep, and if you're just here to jerk off then don't bother unless it goes on sale for $10 at most.

Continuing my obsession with making tamagotchis a little bit melancholy. @wshed.bsky.social
neutral · AI labelView post →I need the next game already. House Party is probably one of the funniest goon games you can play and it does not just focus on the goon side, gameplay is probably 7/10, goon scenes are about a 8/10.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played this game because a respected YouTuber called CallMeKevin featured it. I wasn't aware that the game had its flaws, but honestly, I had a good time enjoying the chaos and bashing people. Sometimes, even in the midst of imperfection, there's fun to be had.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Join us in an hour for "whatever Noels House Party is" as a board game!!
neutral · AI labelView post →I did a lot to get at least one girl in this game (I even watched tutorials). I didn't got anyone! I even tried a girl I didn't like because she was easier, but even she friendzoned me... Yeah so this game is 200% realistic!!!!! But be careful maybe you get shocked because a woman is gonna talk to you... (I got scared)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I chose trapping Frank in the bathroom, ragebaiting NPCs and breaking ankles instead of Cyperpunk Phantom Liberty... atleast I can trap Frank in the bathroom and nut all over him i guess... just kill me at this point.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I expected more of a sandbox Experience, what i got was a 3d click puzzle game. the writing is fine the VA is also okay. i mean really most of the game was collect this item that's somewhere go talk to Character A to get Character B to do something. Truly a boring game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Games like this one, for sure do not come around often or in fact don't ever get made. The pure professional quality of this game blows expectations out of the water. I quickly fell in love with this game, not by the crazy sex scenes and etc. But the hilarious story, character drama, and sure replay ability factor. There are so many outcomes, so many customization options, heck you can even make your own stories and custom characters and share them with the community! I highly recommend…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoy the Adult Content/Explicit Content, and only for that reason.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I made crazy overscoped game for GMTK25 Jam - it's a drafting game where you match pilots to speeders, build a bigger hangar, and construct tracks for them to race on. I wanted to make something inspired by House Party in UFO50. Let me know what you think! vfqd.itch.io/desert-drafter #itch #gamedev

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Took away my boobies that i paid for and sold it as dlc.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well I'll be honest I watched a YouTuber play an obscene amount of this game and wanted to give back by purchasing the game. This is a shockingly well written game. I can't believe how invested I became with the cast of characters and their stories. Giant fan of Frank. Love that bald man.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As far as NSFW games go. This one is really engaging and fun to play, as you enter a House Party with many engaging characters, with only one goal in mind; Getting laid! Although you're quickly gonna find out that there is more to this party than meets the eye. There are even collaborations with streamers, Youtubers and celebrities and they appear as characters withing the game, if you have purchased DLC. - Character customization, you can fully edit clothes and appearances of the characters…

neutral · AI labelView post →I got this game years ago because it looked cool and interesting. I had also seen one of my favorite YouTubers play it, and it looked very fun. Back then I didn’t own a PC, so I couldn’t actually buy and play it myself. Eventually I got the game, and unfortunately I was pretty disappointed. It felt very buggy, unnecessarily difficult and complicated, boring at times, and some of the writing and content was also way too woke. The animations also feel... annoying. Overall, the game just felt…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is stupid and sexist and ridiculous and offensive and I love it. It's a guilty pleasure and is not meant to be played in front of other people. It's good. Picture Leisure Suit Larry but way better. That's House Party.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →House Parts is one of those games you usually don’t want your friends to see you have. Yeah, it is a game where your primary objective is getting laid numerous times in all kind of manners. Yet for some reason it is fun enough that you can’t just let it rest after the first play through. You start the game at a house party with all kinds of clichés on such an event, a new shy girl, a nerdy “boner inflater” who hates everything and knows everything, a jock who guards the alcohol because alcohol…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I get a black screen on custom stories.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a pretty fun game, even without the *explicit* stuff. It's just fun to wander around and do ridiculous tasks, fight Frank, and get all the achievements. I enjoy it because there's no pressure, it's just fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like the story, and the uniqueness of the game. Just wish there were more men.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pure and unadulterated chaos. Not for kids under 18. Not for adults who don't act like kids, as the great ZeFrank would say. There are a lot of stupid quirks and bugs and annoyances, but it's a silly game and just fun once you get into it. It might take a try or two, but stick it out. It's worth it, if you're into stupid comedy and adult situations.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Y'all, if I made an account on Joystick.tv then we could do the NSFW game streams that I couldn't do on Twitch Like guys, I could finally stream House Party 👀

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When all is said and done, the moment Noel tipped into insanity was probably the night he walked out on House Party. Old Noel would have identified when the game was up with that format and done something new. But this time he was out of ideas and continued to flog the show into the ground.
