When Valve eventually cracked down and mandated the game had to censor its sex scenes or be removed, the change to Steam's policy incidentally gave House Party a spotlight. Back then, Valve still prohibited pornographic games on Steam, but House Party managed to slip through unnoticed. House Party started as a janky comedy game passed around on internet forums like 4Chan before it launched on Steam Early Access in 2017. And even though the two don't get naked like House Party's other characters, it's another bizarre chapter in one of Steam's most popular adult games.Įek! Games' decision to add real people to House Party takes it into surreal, uncharted territory. The first of those winners, adult influencer LetyDoesStuff, was added in an update in August 2019, but yesterday two other winners joined House Party: Arin Hanson and Dan Avidan, better known on YouTube as the Game Grumps, a gaming channel with over 5 million subscribers. Developer Eek! Games held a contest in 2018 for players to win the opportunity to be added to the game, voicing their own lines, writing their own backstory, and having their likeness turned into a digital avatar.
