House Party 1.5.2.14204 is live! Our community translation effort keeps gaining momentum. This update brings major overhauls to the existing Italian and Spanish (Mexico) translations, along with a couple of bug fixes.
Italian and Spanish (Mexico) Translation Overhauls
With help from members of our Italian- and Spanish-speaking communities, we’ve made major improvements to the existing translations throughout House Party.
These overhauls improve accuracy, consistency, and natural phrasing across dialogue, story text, menus, hints, and other in-game text.
The Community Translation Push Continues!
About 99% of House Party’s translation work comes from members of our community, and our translators have been especially active lately—reviewing older text, improving consistency, and bringing more languages fully up to date.
Thanks to that support, we expect the rest of our current translations to be fully updated soon. We may even have a couple of brand-new languages joining the party as well!
If you’d like to help improve House Party in your language, join us on Discord:
A huge thank-you to everyone who has contributed!

House Party is now fully translated into German—including the base game and all available DLCs! German-speaking players can now enjoy the complete House Party experience and all of its additional content in their language.
Help Us Keep House Party Multilingual!
About 99% of House Party’s translation work comes from members of our community, and this update is another great example of what that support makes possible.
We’d love to rally even more translators! If you’d like to help improve House Party in your language—or help bring another translation closer to completion—join us on Discord:

Updated Chinese Translations!
With help from members of our Chinese-speaking community, we've made a major update to the Simplified Chinese translations throughout House Party.

We've also adjusted Chinese dialogue text sizing and expanded font coverage so translated text fits and displays more consistently.
About 99% of House Party's translations come from members of our community. If you'd like to help improve the game in your language, join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/eekgames
A big thank-you to the community members who helped us with this update!

- Added missing menu translations and improved several translated UI layouts.
- Updated French translations.
- Fixed an issue that caused some textures, including lipstick, to remain at a low resolution.
- Fixed several small issues in the guided console command system, including problems with certain movement and interaction commands.
- Added a few other small graphics, UI, and interaction fixes.

House Party 1.5.2.14175 is live!
We’ve brought another round of design and engine improvements back to House Party from our ongoing work on Office Party. This update brings a redesigned console command system, smarter controller handling, and a batch of gameplay, UI, localization, performance, and stability improvements.
New Console Command System!
Using console commands no longer means remembering every option and its exact formatting. Commands can now be built using dropdown menus, searchable choices, and clearer toggle states, making the available options easier to explore while cutting down on typos.
If you know the old system and prefer typing commands by hand, check the Legacy option and keep using it as before.
Smarter Controller Handling
Some non-gamepad controllers—such as virtual joysticks and similar devices—can send unwanted input and interfere with keyboard or gamepad controls.
House Party now automatically disables newly detected non-gamepad controllers and displays a notice explaining exactly what was disabled.
Open Input Settings > Controller Status at any time to review detected controllers and enable or disable them individually. Your choices are saved automatically.
More QOL, Fixes, and Improvements
- Improved NPC navigation so characters get out of each other's way more quickly and reach their destinations more reliably.
- Improved beer pong cup detection and scoring consistency.
- Fixed stale save data that could sometimes prevent players from interacting with NPCs.
- Fixed character customization issues involving colors carrying between items, secondary color targeting, and attire removal.
- Improved story and design browser population and added more safeguards against corrupted or malformed designs.
- Improved graphics-setting consistency on the main menu and added safeguards for unsupported volumetric fog configurations.
- Expanded and repaired menu translations, including improved Chinese font and glyph coverage.
- Added more general performance, graphics, and stability improvements.

Original postHappy Saturday Partiers!
Office Party!
We know you want Office Party! (We can't wait either!) We're working hard on the engine and we'll have more news for you soon! We're aiming to have a short demo together for Steam Next Fest in October and we're to have Office Party in Early Access by the end of the year! Don't forget to wishlist it if you haven't yet!
In the meantime, we've taken a couple mini, easily implementable versions of the design and engine improvements for Office Party back to House Party. And we fixed up a few more things in HP too.Russian Translations!
Russian translations have been updated and there are now Russian translations for the Nocturnal Temptations DLC!
Grab the Pizza
Most of the changes in this build were optimizations and bug fixes, but the most noticeable new thing is probably the Interact on hover. We fixed a bug that could cause the item name to disappear on hover when a large font was selected, and we added a small enhancement. You'll know see the interact keybind, and when an item is "grabbable", you'll see the grab button as well.
There's also a new indication on the main menu when a new version of House Party is available.
We now have a warning a saved game was saved using a DLC that is no longer installed.

Original postAttention all fan-fic junkies and smut-peddlers: We've got one hell of an update for you. This new House Party update and Custom Story Creator Beta includes a bunch of improvements to performance, usability, story fixes, and -- most importantly -- one of the biggest upgrades the Custom Story Creator has ever had.
House Party 1.5.2.14040 Update
Before we get into the big CSC stuff, here's what you should know about the House Party update:
Performance has gained a huge boost. In addition to a new loading screen, you'll notice that the loading screen will move a lot quicker. Things are moving quicker than they ever did before.
We've also polished up some story things -- including some fixes for Nocturnal Temptations. But let's dive into the meat of it.
Custom Story Creators can also play test their saved draft stories before publishing by accessing them in the new My Stories tab in, the in game Custom Story Browser..
The House Party Custom Story Creator is moving to the world wide web. And that means it's getting a hell of a lot easier to use. Here's what you can expect:No More Installing Unity
This is probably the biggest improvement. Before, to create custom stories in HP, you'd have to install Unity, keep it updated, etc -- it was a whole thing. But now, with the new web CSC, you just login with your Eek account and you're off to the races.
Welcome to the new CSC.
Login and check it out for yourself. Easy as pie.
Cloud Draft Saving & Cross-Device Support
You can still import and export stories locally just like the Legacy CSC, but now you can also save drafts directly to the cloud and reopen them later from any device.
So if you’re halfway through writing the next great American novel in HP and suddenly pass out face-first into your keyboard after drinking too much warm milk, your work will still be there waiting for you.
On top of that, your cloud drafts can also be accessed directly inside House Party itself, making playtesting way easier before publishing.
And when you've finished your story, you can now publish stories directly from the Web CSC too. Spread your sickness worldwide with the click of a button!
Built for the Future (And Office Party)
Moving the CSC to a web-based platform gives us way more freedom to improve usability, add features faster, and keep evolving the tool moving forward. You’ll already feel this evolution with how easy it is to navigate and search within the CSC. But this is just the beginning.
This tech is also paving the way for the next generation of creation tools coming to Office Party. We want creating stories to be easier, faster, more accessible, and way more powerful moving forward.
The goal here was to make the CSC more accessible to Eek fans. Which will hopefully mean more crazy shit made by the fans. And we can't wait to see what you all do with it.
Find the new CSC here!
And join us on Discord -- we've got channels dedicated to custom stories and a great community to help any newbies out along the way.

Original postA new Nocturnal Temptations update is LIVE. This one’s got a bit of everything, including new shit.
First things first: we’ve taken a big swing at squashing the remaining issues players have been running into. A ton of minor bug fixes and improvements are packed in this patch, and we’re continuing to hunt down any of the buggy bastards still lurking in the shadows. If you do run into anything weird, hit us up on Discord and let us know – we’re on it.
Now for the cooler part of the update: we added more steamy content. You’ll now find new romantic encounters for both Babs and Gisella.
Babs’ encounter is tucked into the main storyline, but it’s not just handed to you. You’ll have to sniff it out.
We’ll give you a hint: swamp ass.
Gisella now has a new romance encounter that becomes available when you rescue her and takes place in the art room. Prepare for some owl commentary. You just can’t escape those bastards.
As always, tell us what you think.

Original postYooo Party People,
Oh baby oh baby. We gotta start with a THANK YOU.
Thanks to all of you that jumped into Nocturnal Temptations and gave House Party’s final DLC a proper run through the woods. Literally. Thanks for posting your reactions and theories in the Discord, and sharing your favorite moments with us.
But most importantly, thanks for BREAKING OUR SH*T. Yeah, we’ve heard you loud and clear. Some of the DLC just wasn’t working right. So today, we’re here to tell you that we've fixed that.
Since Nocturnal Temptations' release, we've been working hard to fix these issues and we've pushed a total of 7 patches and hotfixes, including today's patch. Today’s update focuses on the remaining bug fixes. We've fixed a lot of them – with a focus on the beginning and the end of the DLC. First off, the DLC is much easier to start. Expect a narrative text to pop up if you have the DLC installed, directing you towards the start of the adventure. Easy as that.
Second, we polished up the post-Nocturnal Temptations story content for Gisella. We identified several borks that were preventing her scenes from triggering properly, or cutting off content that should most definitely have been there. If you ran into weirdness (or a lack thereof) upon return from your time-travel adventure, our bad. This patch should smooth that out. Some other quick fixes: We fixed some hiccups when returning to the present halfway through the DLC. We also fixed issues around Vickie’s romance cutscene – shout out people who fell through the map (sorry)!We’ve been grinding through every issue you guys have brought to our attention, and we’re confident we've smacked the biggest issues right in the mouth. We’re a small team and Nocturnal Temptations was our most ambitious DLC we've made, but we’re sticking with this thing until the very end.
So jump back in, let us know how it feels, and keep the feedback coming. And if you’ve enjoyed your journey across space and time, let us know that too!
