House Party Stripping Out of Early Access

After filling the titular house to bursting point, developer Eek! Games has announced that the Early Access hit (84% positive user reviews, plus our preview) House Party will be getting a full release in 2020.

Ahead of this, the price of the game will increase from $14.99 to $24.99 (£10.99 to around £19.99) at the start of January - just after the Steam Winter Sale, in fact. If you're looking to get in on the party, your best bet is to grab it before 6th January 2020 - and for the best deal before 2nd January 2020!

We've covered pretty much all of the updates released since June 2017, but the team still hasn't finished. In the coming months you can expect a new Game Grumps story, as well as a playable female character.

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.
