Party Hard is an action stealth video game developed by Pinokl Games and published by tinyBuild Games for Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Fire OS, and also coming to iOS and Android. In this game, players assume the role of a serial killer who infiltrate several parties with the objective of killing all attendants without getting caught.
Premise
Initially, you play as a man named Darius who finds it difficult to sleep when there are active party-goers nearby. He decides to kill them all using a standard knife. There are four other unlockable characters, including a Ninja (obtained by clearing a level with no bodies found), Policeman (obtained by completing all the levels), Katie (obtained by escaping the police 5 times in one game; also the only person available on a specific level), and the Butcher (obtained by killing 1000 people). Each level takes place at a party with a different theme, interactive objects, and "special guests," who are people that you call to distract/kill party guests. The completion of these levels also unlocks the storyline, which focuses on Detective John West's detailing of the Party Hard Killings of autumn, 2000.
Twitch.tv integration
The game integrates with the streaming site Twitch.tv. The viewers of the livestream can trigger events within the game, such as SWAT raids or rampaging bears.[1] The twitch-exclusive events were later enabled for non-streaming players.[2]
