Movement is ghastly, your character seemingly seven feet tall and mounted on casters. But getting that far in either is as much a test of your taste as it is of your patience. None of that's true, of course, because at this point in early access it only has two ladies with storylines written that end in sex. The ultimate goal is to see which of the ladies at the party you can trick/lie/drink your way into shagging you, with - the developers claim - different avenues cut off or opened up by the choices you make. But ask someone their star sign and she'll react like, well, you just called her sister ugly. So telling a girl that she's prettier than her ugly sister is, of course, an ingratiating remark that warms you to her heart. That's actually the biggest challenge in what amounts to a first-person adventure game with cartoon boobs: working out what the people behind its creation think is a clever thing to say. This might be your lucky night." Gosh, we seem nice, don't we? And so into the party you go, chatting to the five or six ladies, and two other men, trying to work out whether the utterly obnoxious remarks you're offered to choose from will be understood by the authors of the game as utterly obnoxious, or indeed astoundingly charming. As the game's introductory text attempts to say, "Looking around, the attendance seems heavily weighted in the female variety, and the male competition looks pretty weak. You are a man, with no identifying features beyond a permanent erection, who arrives at the house party of a lady called Madison. Here, have half an hour of my playing it! ( NSFW warning: video contains a great deal of nudity and sexual content) Or, as is the case in House Party, you can show them inside your pants whether they like it or not. It's the type of male mind that sees women as goals to be conquered, rather than autonomous individuals, and believes that manipulated suitably, all women will want to see inside your underpants. House Party is, if nothing else, a fascinating exploration of a certain type of male mind. ( NSFW warning: There's some nudity in the pics below.) But first and foremost, it's a terrible game. House Party is a misogynistic pile of shit. To loudly point out that a game is a misogynistic pile of shit is not to call for it to be banned, but simply to observe the fact. What remains the case is that it's absolutely fine to criticise such games for being utterly terrible at it, and indeed comment on their representations of people.

And there's absolutely nothing wrong with games being used to turn someone on.

Let's make this clear: of course there's nothing wrong with games about sex, nor games about people trying to pair up with others to have sex.
