Suddenly a Party 1.03

The skip text button is the real MVP here because holy shit, some of these dialogue trees go on forever. You play as Tom at this house party with your sister and her friends, and the whole thing runs on that old Flash game energy where everything's slightly janky but somehow that makes it hotter. The art isn't polished at all, characters look like they were drawn by someone who just discovered anatomy references yesterday, but the jank works for it. Like finding a dirty magazine in the woods behind your school, it's not supposed to be art. The choice system is actually brutal though. I picked what I thought was the obvious "be nice" route and ended up with everyone mad at me and zero action. Then I restarted and went full asshole mode and suddenly everyone's clothes are falling off. Make it make sense. There's something about the sister character that feels weirdly central to everything, like the game keeps pushing you toward her even when you're trying to explore other options. The VIP tag makes me think there's locked content somewhere but I couldn't figure out how to access it, maybe I'm just bad at reading the room. The French revision note in the description is funny because I don't speak French and the English translation still has moments where you can tell something got lost. "How the party goes depends on you" is doing a lot of heavy lifting for a game where half my choices led to people just leaving the room awkwardly. The achievements pop up for the weirdest things too, like congrats you made someone uncomfortable, here's a badge. The whole thing feels like a fever dream version of those old Newgrounds dating sims where you're never quite sure if you're winning or the game is just messing with you.
