Get your party on. Story: You play as a photographer. You're hired by a scientist to take pictures of spectral beings in a mansion deep in the woods. When you encounter a ghost inside the mansion and help him out he brings you a long to a party in a different plain of existence and your hunt for photos begins. Boo Party is not really heavy on story, but the writing is both charming and quite funny at times. Plenty of times I chuckled at the jokes and found myself enjoying the bizarre plot points you encounter. I also am a huge fan of horror so the references to pop culture are also very much appreciated. I do have minor nitpick and that is how when you press Z to make the text scroll faster it sometimes skip and entire piece of text for some reason and this made me skip out on a few lines of dialogue which kind of sucks since I wanted to read it. Graphics: Visually Boo Party is a really interesting looking game and I especially really liked how visually random the mansion was. On the surface the mansion seems to be pretty small, but once you start advancing it really opens up and each area is visually distinct from the last and I do have to say that I loved each one. I also really dig the art style, especially the hand drawn character portraits. The photos and the portraits are visually very well drawn and I love how each character is based off a different horror themed icon and the developer covered all basis, from slashers, classic monsters and aliens. It's just all really cool. Audio: The soundtrack is very decent and I especially liked how the music was made to sound like funky horror music, but as a matter of fact there's not much music in the game and I kind of wish there was possibly like a few more tracks while you roam the mansion. I also wish the dancing music was possible to have as the exploring music cause it was so funky. There's not much of other audio design to speak of. There is some minor voice acting and a few other sound effects, but there's nothing really to say here. It sounds fine and isn't bad by any means, it provides a nice little occasional sound from the constant music. Gameplay: Boo Party is an adventure game where your main goal is to explore the mansion, solve puzzles and get those photos. It's very similar to another two games I reviewed called Foto Flash and Boo Party takes the same concept, but amplifies it to a whole new level. The basic gist is the same. You encounter a woman that needs a favor done and in return you get a pinup photo from her and you need 12 in total to finish the game, but there are more hidden photos you can find by solving some more puzzles. Boo Party actually has some truly great puzzles. I was genuinely stumped quite a few times and need to rack my brain trying to figure out how to advance and I loved that about it. Once I had that "AHA, that's what I need to do" moment, I honestly felt great and I even wanted to break down and use a guide once in a while, but I always stuck to my mind to complete it. Also from time to time you will encounter a mini game which requires you to advance and this is the first big problem of the game. The difficulty of these mini games are a bit too much at times. The Wario Ware inspired one is simple once you pick up on it, however the other three are much more difficult. The rhythm one especially really threw me off considering I didn't understand what I was doing wrong, cause my dance moves always failed and it wasn't until I picked up a side object I understood that I was completely wrong on what I was doing. The bouncing mini game, especially in the story is also absurdly difficult and took me an hour by itself and I kind wish the difficulty would be tone down just a tiny bit, cause it's the only reason I'm holding off of 100% this game. Another minor nitpick of mine is how story items are given to you by NPC's when you talk to them, but due to a crazy amount of NPC's there are in total and how much ground there is to cover, sometimes it's not obvious who will give you and item and who will not, at least a good chunk of them are fairly obvious, but I wish the item NPC's were a bit more obvious. Verdict: Foto Flash was a very interesting series and a blast to play and I'm sad that a part 3 is likely never coming out, but Boo Party is not only a worth successor it also surpasses those two games in every way. It's fun, hilarious, well designed and just a blast to play and if you liked Foto Flash, this is a must to check out. Final Rating: 8.5/10 Pros: + Great art style + Puzzle design is great and forces you to think + Some great music + Fun story Cons: - Mini games are really difficult - Not much music - Text sometimes skips for no reason NOTE: I was provided with a game key for review purposes by the developer/publisher for the group Completing the Backlog.

[code]For other Adult/Hentai themed reviews, please [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40896498/]follow us at Lewd Gamer![/url][/code] Boo Party is one of the more clever and enjoyable adventure titles I've come across in 2022, and is a must-buy for fans of humorous adult titles. (Doubly so if you're a fan of puns and monster girls.) For those who don't feel like reading a more detailed review, I have nothing but praise for this game at full price, let alone on sale. Just go out and get this one. It's a hardcore thumbs up with no qualifications or caveats, and is on the short list of most pleasantly surprising games I've reviewed in 2022. The pixel graphics and art style suit this lighthearted game perfectly. The exaggerated art also gives off a certain “Maniac Mansion” or “Day of the Tentacle” vibe. It's a call back to the classics in all of the right ways. The controls are intuitive, and while the game didn't recognize my controller (for whatever reason), the game doesn't require anything complex enough to need a controller anyway. The soundtrack is similarly upbeat and engaging, really adding to the vibe of the game (you're at a monsters-only Halloween party). While the music loops, the loops are long and never hit a point where I even debated muting the sound. The gameplay loop is very simple – you run around a surprisingly large map and interact with a variety of wacky NPC's, all of whom want something from you. In exchange, you'll receive either a crucial item you need for someone else, or you'll be allowed to take their risque picture. A dozen pictures, and your work is done. Many of the requests/demands the characters make will not be obvious, in terms of how to complete their mission, and some will require more work than others, in typical adventure game fashion. However, with enough wandering around and talking with other NPC's and searching the map, they always become clear. I do feel like pointing out that if you're not a fan of puns, you're probably going to find this game slightly less amusing than I did. Nearly every character will make either a pun or a monster joke. The dialogue is deliberately cheesy, and is designed to evoke a certain amount of a B-movie feel. In many cases, this sort of thing would feel lazy, but here it's perfect for the tone of the game, very much a wink-and-nod deal. This is one of the most competently made and creative adult games I've played this year. It succeeds in being fun – it would be fun without the adult content. We need more games like this, and fewer shovelware games that feature dry and tedious half-baked content for a “reward” of a dozen anime nudes that look like a Deviantart reject page's doodles.
I like retro-style games and from the same developer I really enjoyed the puzzler [i]Crawlco Block Knockers[/i]. I'm glad that I can say the same about this [i]Boo Party[/i]! Same retro vibe, colorful graphics, feel good atmosphere, banging synth-pop tunes, pervy but good-natured attitude and a nice imitation of arcade titles from the past (guess someone else remembers [i]Toobin'[/i]), but with a spooky campy Halloween twist! BP is inspired by the similar title [i]Foto Flash[/i], where you are a photographer taking pics of some cute and sexy (monster)girls. They will ask you some favors in return, leading to some fetch quests or silly mini-games of varying styles and difficulty: basically the game is all here, but there's plenty of goofy humour, secrets, nice characters and colorful locales (the mansion is huge) that it never feels like a chore. The in-game log (the ghost in the portrait) is also useful to keep track of all the various quests. It needs to be said that the dev listens to fans and buyers: when it turned out that some of the mini-games were admittedly too frustrating or difficult, not only he patched them, so that they are much more manageable, now they can also be skipped if one only wants to relax and follow the wacky plot and the chill vibes. I can't say it enough: I really needed such a good-natured, campy game that is funny without being too stupid and lewd without being too vulgar or disgusting. And now, let's chill out and party!
[b]TL;DR[/b] Another hit in the stream of games published by Shady Corner Games, Boo Party is a smash hit as a casual enjoyment puzzle game that has a few hiccups along the way but remains a solid game start to finish! + Characters are all fun/funny + Dialogue has personality without overstaying its welcome + Mini-games add a nice break from the typical puzzle gameplay + So many people to interact with! So many secrets! - Game desperately needs a map & quest journal - Dancing rhythm section really needs some sort of on-screen indication, it's way too precise to do blind ----------------------------------------- [h1]--- Overview ---[/h1] An exploration puzzle game where you play the role of a photographer trying to capture some paranormal photos, you stumble into an afterlife Halloween party where the denizens of the otherworld gather to party like never before! Complete tasks for the bodacious beasts of the afterlife and be rewarded with eye candy photographs featuring the women bearing all! [h1]--- Character Design ---[/h1] Most of the women in the game follow a rather same-y body type: slender with typically big breasts. The true differences come in the shape of what they're modeled after, whether it be a vampire, a werewolf (best), a mermaid, witch, serial killer, alien... that kind of stuff! These differences are definitely good enough to feel different from every other character design and the spritework also does a great job of conveying character design. [h1]--- The LEWDS ---[/h1] There are 15 photos you can unlock while playing the game, all of which feature a girl typically naked or near-naked with her breasts showing but not a whole lot else. No truly sexual content is present in the game, nor is there anything under the waist except for some rear shots. The game remains in the realm of 'tasteful lewd' where it feels like the lewds take a backseat to the gameplay itself. All of the character images you unlock have to do with the character's personality, which is a great addition! The vampire has a glass of wine and poses in a posh manner, while the cat lies down smugly and lazily. The images perfectly capture the personality of these characters and makes them uniquely stand apart from each other. That being said, for how tame the game itself kind of is aside from some raunchy humor, it does feel a little wanting in the realm of lewd content. [h1]--- Gameplay Overview ---[/h1] Exploring the mansion is a hell of a task. This place is huge and you WILL get lost. The game really would benefit from a good map function so you aren't constantly getting lost trying to find one certain place, but I suppose that's part of the puzzle too, isn't it? The puzzles are pretty straight-forward in that they're not impossible or unreasonable to figure out and even has some characters in the game that are there to provide some hints or remind you of stuff that you haven't finished yet since there isn't really an in-game quest journal to work with, either. I think some more UI functionality to make the game a bit more user friendly would go a long ways towards decreasing some of the annoyances this game has. The game also has several mini-games scattered around it. One of which is a rhythm game that really overstays its welcome, seeing you try to match up rhythm with very precise timing and no in-game cues as to when to hit the keys, it becomes very annoying and the game has two very long sequences involving it. It is VERY easy to mess these up and it doesn't feel satisfying when you've completed it. The other two mini-games that are worth mentioning is a sort of WarioWare-inspired mini-game (which I found really enjoyable and challenging in a good way) and a tubing minigame which... wouldn't be such a problem if it was easy to replay it. I feel like the NPC at the bottom should offer the chance to be teleported to the top to try it again if you're trying to go for the scores that will help you unlock secret additional content. [h1]--- Final Thoughts ---[/h1] I think Boo Party is a great way to get into the Halloween Spirit (yes I'm late, sue me) with some tasteful lewds as a reward! There's plenty of great humor, references, and easter eggs sprinkled throughout the game to give it a solid identity away from the lewds, and the lewds that are present are a pretty nice reward for finishing one of the many character quests that are present in the game.

This is a really fun and lighthearted exploration game, with some fun little puzzles and item collection. The characters are really charming, and the pixel art is really well done. It really feels like a throwback to games like Maniac Mansion and the like. It also features some mini-games, which were surprisingly challenging. I'm four hours into it so far and haven't completed it yet, but I've really enjoyed my time with it so far!
Charming art style and catchy music. There are some rather irritating minigames namely the workout one, the game wouldve also benefited from a quick travel kind of thing or map of some kind. Otherwise great game. 8/10
Boo Party es un juego donde nos la pasaremos caminando y caminando por una mansión haciendo favores a chicas monstruo para que nos dejen tomarles una foto picarona, hay algunos minijuegos de por medio y pues tanto los sprites, las ilustraciones y la banda sonora son excelentes. La dificultad del juego y la variedad del juego podría ser mejor pero en general es una aventura con la que pasas un buen rato. El minijuego musical aunque fue el más me costó terminó siendo mi favorito. Estuve esperando que sacaron un parche en español del juego pero terminé jugandolo así con mi limitado conocimiento en inglés y me la pasé bien igual. Espero ver algún otro proyecto similar a este en el futuro.
10/10 game, would play again
Enjoyable puzzle adventure game in a style that is not as common as you would expect. The minigames are tough but honestly I loved them. Overall a pleasant time.
Another slickly made game from this developer. Unfortunate that there's currently only two of them, but I suppose quality takes time.
