Hi, my name´s Particia and I am your virtual assistant for home parties. Let´s get the party started!

Get ready to keep the party alive and going on and on and on…. Play as the latest invention in home entertainment: Particia and ensure that your party keeps on alive by refilling drinks & snacks, caffeinate your guest’s to keep them going, keep people talking when they have nothing to talk about and keep pumping up the music.

Fail in your tasks for too long and the party will start to shut down, which is against your directives.

How to Play:

Keep an eye on the requests of the guests, which can be conversational starters or coffee. Keep a watch on the snacks, drinks and music by: dispensing chip bags to the snack bowl, bottles to the punch bowl and Lp’s to the Lp Player when indicated. The overall party mood is tracked with a green bar at the top of the screen, fulfill everyone needs quickly to pump up the mood, take to long to make it go down. Once the bar reaches 0, the party is over.

Controls:

  • Mouse to aim
  • LMB to dispense party

Great use of the theme. The different states of the party as you fail to keep it going is fantastic.

Simple yet satisfying game. I'd consider making a web build, since this game isn't very resource intensive. Great mood and take on the theme! I found no progression system, is there such thing? As I learned how to play, there wasn't any challenge in the end. I made it to night 7. Also the music is excellent!

An FPS? With the theme we got? Nicely done!

After a bit I figured you can bounce projectiles off the walls and ceiling to get around guests which was fun. Increasing the frequency of requests over time would have added a lot.

If you're able to in the future, rate and comment on other games so people can see your game in the list!
