Here by popular demand, the House Party - Halloween Holiday Pack is a permanent version of the limited-time 2022 seasonal Halloween update.

This DLC brings pumpkins, spooky ghosts, a skeleton, tons of spider webs, and one giant furry spider back to decorate Madison's house in creepy fall vibes!

It also dresses all of the NPCs at the party in a chilling succubus costume - including startling horns, creepy bat wings, and a sexy, spiky tail!



Thanks for your patience as we worked to get this ready, doods!

We know it’s taken a while, but we hadn’t originally planned for the 2022 limited-time event to become permanent. It was a spur-of-the-moment idea fueled by season-induced passion, and it really wasn’t built to be in the game year-round.

However, after seeing so many of you ask for it to stay around, our team worked alongside our already-planned development schedule to completely rebuild the Halloween and Winter events so they’d be suitable to be in House Party permanently.

This full restructuring includes:

• Making it so the DLCs are optional and won’t bloat the base game if you never plan to play or install them
  
• Allowing you to toggle the DLC on and off if you don’t feel like enjoying the Halloween aesthetic during a specific play session
  
• Ensuring merging the content with House Party wouldn’t cause any major bugs or issues with the short or long-term health of the base game
  
• And, best of all, future-proofing the DLC so we can add more exciting content in additional updates! 🤘
  

While the Halloween Holiday Pack will visually look the same as the event did in 2022 (so, no, don’t expect to see any “new” playable content or cosmetics yet), it’s undergone complete restructuring and there are major framework changes under the surface. And these changes will allow us to properly add extra content (cosmetics, decorations, side-quests, achievements, etc.) to the Halloween Holiday Pack in the future as time permits!

Also implemented into this framework beneath the holiday pack are the roots of a very exciting new feature that we plan to bring for free to all players in the future. We won’t spoil exactly what this is yet, but we’ll just say it’s something MANY of you requested in the latest survey we released!

So, get excited, doods and lady-doods, because what’s coming is gonna be amazing - and we can’t wait to share more details as we get further along in development.

And, if you’re still waiting for the snowy season to return, don’t worry! The House Party - Winter Holiday Pack will be ready to play very soon, too!

But, in the meantime, what are you waiting for? Come enjoy the haunted house party!

Since there's so much coming soon to the party, we wanted to share our current development timeline with you, so you know exactly what's on the way, and when!

Keep in mind this is an estimated timeline and some plans may change - especially as we begin working more on Office Party - but hopefully this will give you a good general idea of what we’re currently hoping to bring to the game next.

So, check out the roadmap above (and read more details below) to get a better idea on timelines for all the rad stuff that we hope to add to House Party throughout the rest of 2023!



House Party - Halloween Holiday Pack

Been waiting for the party to get spooky again?

The House Party - Halloween Holiday Pack will be the first of our seasonal holiday packs to release, and we should have it ready to play within the next few weeks! 👻

While it's taken a bit longer than expected to completely rebuild the event and get the DLC toggle feature ready (you can read more about that here), everything is looking good for the Halloween vibes to return to the party very soon! 🎃

Also, thanks to your patience, we've been able to work on preparing the holiday packs without sacrificing development time on the other big and exciting things coming to House Party later this year! Awesome news and cheers to you, brahs!



House Party - Winter Holiday Pack

Following hot on the heels of the permanent return of the Halloween content will be the House Party - Winter Holiday Pack! 🎅

Once we have the toggle feature done for Halloween, we should be able to get everything quickly situated for the next seasonal DLC - so, expect to see this pack ready sometime next month. When it releases, you’ll be able to get into the winter holiday spirit all year long! ⛄

Please keep in mind that neither of these holidays will have any additional content compared to what was in their original 2022 events, but we have plans to add plenty more to them in future updates!



House Party - Detective Liz Katz in a Gritty Kitty Murder Mystery

Now, here's the big news: the awesome murder mystery DLC featuring the sexy, hilarious, and amazing cosplay heartthrob Liz Catz will be coming this Summer! But…when exactly? A lot of you’ve been asking, so here’s an update on the release window for the mysterious new expansion. 🕵️

We are hoping to have the DLC ready for you to play as soon as late May or June this year! We'll keep you all updated on the specific timing as we get closer to the release, and we’ll provide you with an official launch date as soon as we can. 🤘

In the meantime, we hope you're stoked to solve this exciting whodunnit (and maybe get dirty along the way, too). If you want to get a preview of what’s coming ahead of time, you can always check out our website to learn how to get access to early Alpha and Beta builds.



House Party - Base Game Feature Updates

Wait…there are new features coming to the original House Party experience? Say what?!

While we haven’t shared too much about this yet, we’re planning to release some awesome new free feature updates for the base game - implementing some of the feedback we got from you brahs in our Future Of House Party Feedback Form! 🎉

This won’t be any sort of big new character, story, or content patch, but we think you’re going to love what we’re planning on adding. More details coming soon! 👀



House Party - New Content Pack

Around the end of the year, we also plan to release a sweet new DLC set entirely in the House Party universe! It’ll include a cool new side story (separate from the original story), two brand new characters to interact with (one female, one male), and a couple new clothing items! 🔥

The theme of this DLC and much of the story inspiration will be drawn directly from your responses in the Future of House Party Feedback Form! We’re still in the conceptualization phase on this, so this means that we’ll announce what the winning clothing and story themes are for the DLC as soon as we can! 🍻

What's even cooler is that this DLC will be enriched by the free House Party base game feature updates that we release just before the expansion drops. If you’ve been wanting more of that original House Party goodness, this one’s for you!



What about the future? And Office Party?

As shown in the timeline, the estimates for when some of these things will launch depends a lot on Office Party (House Party's sequel).

While near-future releases are less likely to change, the stuff shown further out on our timeline could be shifted, delayed, or removed for the sake of working more on Office Party sooner. That’s why we avoided putting exact dates on the image itself.

Where are we at with developing Office Party? Right now, we’re still planning, concepting, and laying out the early framework for it in the background, though it will be a while before we share anything new. But Office Party is coming, brahs, and it's gonna be awesome! 😱

And what about VR? Although we don’t have any new updates for you right now, we still plan to add it in the future! Anyway, that’s all for now, partiers. We hope you're excited to see what the rest of 2023 has in store for House Party! 🙌

Ready for another taste of what’s coming in the new expansion?

Yet another appliance seems to have gone haywire at the party. What’s up with that?

Given how not cool (pun intended) this is, Madison and Ashley head out to figure out what’s wrong with the damn thing.

Once they get there, though, both party hosts get a nasty surprise…



But, wait, did you think that was the only teaser we had for you, brahs?

We also wanted to share a picture from Liz Katz’s social media. Showing off her monday mood, it displays a bathtub equipped with giant tentacles. And, wait, what’s that on the ground beside it? Is that the House Party logo?

Let’s just say there’s something exciting on the way for everyone soon. 😉



Speaking of House Party merch, if it’s been a while since you’ve stopped by the Eek! Games merch store in a while, there’s some awesome new stuff in there to check out!

For example, if you ever wanted to bee as cute as Amy is, you can own your very own version of her classic in-game t-shirt. If you’ve ever wanted to support Patrick’s business endeavors, you can grab a “Brahzzers” shirt as well.

That’s all we’ve got for you this week, partiers, but there’s much more on the way very soon. We hope you enjoyed our latest teaser video and everything else that we shared with you today. Catch you later, doods and lady-doods!

We've got another exciting (and messy) teaser ready for you to watch, dudes!

…Ready to take a look?

It seems like something strange is going on with Madison's microwave… Is it malfunctioning on its own, or is that something you're responsible for? 👀

Either way, the old thing is sparking up a storm, and seems pretty dangerous! Seriously, does that atrocious appliance EVER work properly? You ought to step in and stop that thing before someone gets hurt!

Plus, it looks like someone is cooking tomato soup in there…or something. Yuck, it smells. And it looks like they left it in for a little too long… What a mess! 💥

There’s so much exciting stuff coming to House Party in 2023, and we can’t wait to share it all with you. We’re curious to know what you’re most excited for from all the new things coming, so let us know below! Until next time, party people!

Congrats to the doods and lady-doods who found all the secret codes in our Steam News Posts and were able to unlock our secret early sneak peek DLC teaser!

A ton of you super sleuths unlocked the early reveal, and it was cool to see that so many of you are basically professional detectives already. Well…at least professional enough to solve a House Party murder mystery. 🕵️

Now that it’s been over a month since the early teaser video was released to you code-seekers, we figured it’s a good time to publicly share it for anyone who missed out on the initial secret showcase. Leave no doods behind, right? 💪



If you’ve played more than a couple hours of House Party, you probably already know that each Original Story character (and that will soon include the awesome Liz Katz, too), has their own unique Drunk & Disorderly Opportunity in the game.

If so, you may have guessed that the House Party - Detective Liz Katz in a Gritty Kitty Murder Mystery Expansion Pack will have a Drunk & Disorderly scene, too. And we have worked hand-in-hand with her to create one that fits in perfectly with Liz Katz’s tastes, vibe, and personality!

What is Liz’s personality, exactly? She’s fun, playful, sexy, and adventurous…especially when it comes to certain bedroom activities. If you've visited her official website or followed her on social media, you'll have seen that she has a bit of an interest in… Well, you know… 😉

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Let’s just say that the thing featured in the video should look pretty familiar if you know Liz. And, if you were wondering, yes, it will be part of her new Drunk and Disorderly Opportunity! 🍻

But, uh, what exactly can you expect when you plunder the depths of the upcoming murder mystery DLC (besides a wild crime and House Party’s signature humor)? We won’t say here, but definitely check out the secret trailer if you’re curious about what happens if you give Liz a few drinks. Just remember, enter these waters at your own risk!



Once you’ve had the chance to watch the teaser, let us know how you feel about it! We’re curious what you think about it! Are you stoked, shocked, confused, terrified, aroused…or terrified AND aroused? 👀

Let us know below if you’re ready to watch Liz get hot, bothered, and bubbly in the next DLC!
