Beta? I hardly know her!
Damn, that joke was BAD. But hey, on a day such as this, nothing can bring me down. It’s time for our beta release of Leah’s new story!
This one is a very special release because there’s some gameplay additions that’ll change the way House Party is played. No longer are you just a meatbag for Frank to pummel. Because starting today, you can FIGHT BACK!
Combat has arrived to House Party! On top of being able to just throw hands, you’ll also have a health meter and a level of strength (not shown as a meter). All the other party goers have their own unique levels of strength, from wimps to heavy hitters. Sure, you start out weak, but there are ways to improve your fighting ability–specifically by completing Leah’s newest content.
And speaking of content, there is a LOT dropping with this beta release. Inspired by KILL BILL and other stories of revenge, Leah’s story will take you on a journey of redemption or vengeance. And boobs. And it all starts by finding a secret pet that’s been living in the house…and unleashing it.
Lot’s of fun stuff here! Have fun playing it, and breaking it! You guys are awesome.

- In the Original Story: NPCs will not roam to Ashley or engage her in background chatter while she is naked in her room and waiting for the Player to wash her clothes. Ashley will also not socialize with NPCs until the Player decides whether he is a jerk or not
- In the Original Story: Ashley will be slightly more adamant about trying to get back to her room while naked and waiting for her clothes

Looking forward to the steam release. Fighting mechanics sounds fun! 🙂
