House Party actually doesn't look that bad, at least from the screenshots. I thought it was a really old game, I guess they updated the graphics at some point? I might actually give it a try. But I guess there isn't something that looks as good as this game in terms of graphics?
The work started in 2017 very small with only a few guys working on it who had no idea what they were doing. But it got me from the start, insta buy on Gamejolt
. The game went "final" at the beginning of 2023.
At some point a few years ago they reworked all textures and lighting and last year they did a engine upgrade. It has a full voice cast (every character has a different actor, you don't find that very often) and with the DLCs they got some internet celebrities for additional stories.
You can get it DRM free on GOG, by now often discounted to ~12$. The "explicit content" addon (which they had to introduce becasue platforms like Steam, Gamejolt and later Epic wanted a harmless version of the game) often costs less than a cup of coffee (you can check the pricehistory on gogdb.org).

At least one DLC is yet to come, allowing much more customization.
