The various characters found in House Party (2017).
open/close all folders
Player Character
The character you play as. While they're sitting on the couch watching TV, their best friend (either Derek or Brittney depending on their gender) texts them to invite them over to the party and, in the female character's case, bring over a top that Brittney left behind. What happens next is up to you.
- Above the Influence: Unexpectedly, the Player might actually be this. While getting alcohol is a pre-requisite for both Rachael & Katherine, neither of them seem to get any drunker than "buzzed" and you still have to complete various other tasks before you can win them over. Lety only gets drunk of her own accord, while getting Madison or Ashley too drunk will fail their opportunities and giving Stephanie anything will instantly fail her true storyline. The only time drunkenness is ever required is for the male Player if they're romancing Derek.
- First-Name Basis: The Player only meets everyone other than Derek/Brittney at the party that night, with the only surnames learned being Vickie Vixen which is presumably an alias and Patrick Donghauser (which hopefully is).
- Fragile Speedster: The player at the start of the game. They can easily outrun their opponents, but can only take two to three hits (effectively one if you get stunlocked) before dropping unconscious. Their attacks only deal Scratch Damage and they need to wait seconds for their stamina to recharge before attacking again. Fortunately, they can utilize a few opportunities and items around the house to raise their stats to become stronger and withstand more punches.
- Jerkass: Their attempts to get laid involves doing scummy things like pretending to befriend a girl only to humiliate them later, spoofing text messages to make Rachael sleep with you, releasing Ashley's pet snake, and other deeds. Some of their internal dialogue can be pretty dickish and immature as well.
- JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Of course, depending on how you play, it's entirely possible to avert being too much of a jerk if you want to. Several opportunities involve you doing genuinely nice things without any obvious selfish motivation, in particular helping Stephanie fulfill her potential in the medical field, assisting Patrick in making peace with Rachael or getting Katherine to bring the Grumps to the party (which can only begin after your chances of scoring with Kat are confirmed one way or the other).
- Kleptomaniac Hero: Has no qualms about swiping and keeping other people's property on their person, which you have to do even if you're trying to avoid being too much of an asshole. Unsurprisingly, getting caught red-handed by Madison or Derek won't go over well.
- Lightning Bruiser: Play your cards right with certain items and opportunities, Leah's in particular, and you effectively become this. Thanks to your health and stamina regenerating quickly, you'll be able to eat your opponent's hits like they're nothing and attack more frequently. The only way to get knocked out at that point is if the whole house gangs up on you.
- Mysterious Past: We don't know anything about the male player character's past apart from what Derek tells us.note The Player character himself doesn't know these either, as multiple head injuries during high school have clouded his memories. The female player character is even less defined apart from being Brittney's friend.
- Relationship Upgrade: While most hook-ups in the game don't really change your overall standing with most characters, successfully completing Love Conquers All, Chasing Amy or Smooth Operator - Ashley will change how Brittney/Amy/Ashley respond to you afterwards, complete with affectionate nicknaming.
- Schrödinger's Gun: It's made clear in Derek's dialogue when you play as the female character that she and the male player character both exist; the male player character just couldn't make it to the party. If you play as the male player character, it's likely the opposite.
- Sexual Karma: Completing most Opportunities successfully will you get you some kind of action. While it doesn't have any gameplay effects, usually attempting to talk to your partner during will result in, at best, mild annoyance. The more noble questlines like Dr. Stephanie or Smooth Operator - Ashley have pillow talk that is more affectionate than usual.
Madison
- Because You Were Nice to Me: As unpleasant as Madison is, she's not incapable of being grateful. If you manage to successfully cheer her up in her Smooth Operator opportunity, she gives you a one-time ability to get back into the good graces of anybody you may have pissed off (except Ashley). It does have its limits though and completing Ashley's route removes the option if you haven't used it by that point.
- Berserk Button: She has quite the Hair-Trigger Temper, but she'll only try to get Frank/Derek/Leah to beat you up if you really step out of line. Normally, anything less than that will just have her give you the cold shoulder and walk away. However, at the end of The Muse opportunity, rejecting her advances by calling her ugly will fiercely piss her off and cause her to attack you. She won't calm down unlike Derek, so your only options is to either keep running, lock her in the bathroom or bedroom, or fight back (which will obviously get Frank, Derek, or Leah to run over to beat your ass.)
- Big Sister Bully: Towards Ashley. While it's never directly revealed who started the pranking war (although everything would indicate Madison), Ashley does have some lines she won't cross, tempting as it could be. Madison is downright nasty to her by comparison, even proudly admitting in ambient dialogue that she dedicated years of her life to humiliating Ashley and ruining her confidence.
- Dull Surprise: Possibly due to an oversight from deprecated game elements, but Madison is the only woman besides Vickie who seems more annoyed than outraged if the male Player happens to "release" on her.
- Easily Forgiven: Zigzagged. As the host of the party, she can and will try to kick your ass out of the house if you step too far out of line, like deciding to piss on her. However, she can be surprisingly lenient with the player given what can happen to her, most likely for gameplay reasons. You can spill beer on her and help Ashley, lie to Derek that she killed Purgalicious and almost get her house burned down, humiliate her with Ashley's or Derek's help all in one playthrough and the worst that happens to you is Madison giving you the cold shoulder for the rest of the night.
- For the Evulz: No real motivation for why she torments Ashley is ever stated, though a few lines of Ashley's indicate that it's jealousy. It's even less clear why she does it to Derek when they're seeing each other, though he theorizes it's a defense mechanism.
- The Friend Nobody Likes: Despite it being her party, she's not especially popular with many of the guests: Ashley of course has their sibling "rivalry", Patrick openly admits to not particularly liking her either, while Stephanie & Rachael will both admit to drifting apart from her after being friends in school. Katherine of course doesn't really seem to like her. Even Vickie doesn't seem too fond of Madison, despite only meeting her that night.
- "Friends" Rent Control: Lives in a luxurious house in a suburb affluent enough to host celebrities, but doesn't appear to have any kind of job.
- Friends with Benefits: At the end of Ashley's route, she becomes this with Derek after you encourage him to reconcile with her.
- Gasshole: A few offhand references scattered throughout the game, including mentioning Nacho Daddy's chalupas being the reason for GutGrip being found in her bathroom. If you choose the "I farted" option before her intimacy scene, Madison will also mention she recently crop-dusted the bed so it's off-limits. That doesn't stop other people from having sex on it, nor does she mention his when having sex with Derek.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: Any response to Madison that isn't the one she wants not only will likely make her mad, but also slightly lower your relationship with her.
- Hate Sink: While there's other antagonistic partygoers like Frank, Leah or Katherine, they all have either a Freudian Excuse to explain their behavior or at least get to be funny enough to make interactions with them enjoyable. Madison doesn't have either of these, just a wholly unpleasant demeanor.
- Hypocrite: During a conversation with Frank after you ask her whether big dicks are better than big balls, she gets irritated with him and asserts that men should be faithful and most self-respecting women don't find it sexy when men go whoring around. This can come before or after she potentially sleeps with you, Derek, and Vickie on the same night.
- Humiliation Conga: The night can really go poorly for Madison. Even before you get there, she's already stressed out from her party not going as planned. You can join in with her relatives mocking her ridiculous "Sky Animals" belief, get her drunk enough to humiliate herself with an impression of a Madame and crash into a sliding door, inadvertently get Lety to crack a jar of chilis on her head, assist Derek in pranking her by having partygoers walk in on her masturbating, help Ashley prank her by having Madison's idol Vickie Vixen livestream Madison having sex to a porn agent, get Ashley so drunk that she picks a fistfight with her and even provoke Derek into getting so mad he attempts to burn Madison's house down wherein if you don't intervene, he succeeds.
- Hypocritical Heartwarming: One of the wrong dialogue options to get her to sign a petition is that it's for pranking Ashley. She immediately refuses, calls you an asshole, and says only she gets to prank her sister.
- And it's doubly hypocritical because, if you untie Ashley's top without making a plan with or even introducing yourself to Madison, she'll find it hilarious.
- Irony: The only way to have Madison judge you the winner of her art show contest is to use items owned by Ashley.
- It's All About Me: Madison generally doesn't seem to care much about her guests beyond lip service. If you get Doja Cat into the party, she has ambient dialogue telling herself "you did it" despite her doing nothing but agreeing she can attend and actively being an obstacle towards it beforehand. Derek will even angrily state that "she doesn't give a shit about anyone but herself" if the female Player completes the Mission Impawsible storyline.
- Jerkass to One: Towards Ashley big-time. Not only does she constantly prank and humiliate her, even burning her property, she also wrote in her diary that she considers her a leech that latched on to her friends. If Ashley is to be believed, she even wound up burning the house of a guy she liked down because he hooked up with Ashley instead of her (although it's ambiguous whether that's accidental or not)
- Madison is of the "Crueler To One" variety, as she's a fairly unpleasant person overall: she's generally dismissive towards most of her guests and treats any of their problems as an imposition, Rachael suspects that Madison really invited her just to get in contact with Vickie (and she's right) while if you choose to pursue her Artsy Fartsy path, will openly play you and Derek against each other and it can end in her admitting the entire modelling event was just a ploy to make Derek jealous.
- It gets even worse if you start the Host Hijinks opportunity, as Derek will reveal that despite having some kind of romantic relationship with her, Madison regularly "pranks" him with stunts like putting laxatives in his pre-workout, leaving false-positive pregnancy tests lying around or putting the "make-your-own" dildo he made for her on public display. Even the Player character is shocked by that last one.
- Karma Houdini: Zigzagged. While you can prank her in retaliation for what she's done to Derek or Ashley, she'll never actually admit any wrongdoing on her part or feel any remorse.
- Moral Myopia: Has no qualms with tormenting Derek or Ashley. Will get extremely upset if they do anything to her in return, crying foul that Ashley livestreaming her to one porn agent is going way too far when Madison regularly has pranked Ashley by parading her naked in front of guests. The Player character lampshades this at one point.Madison: (after the Player "accidentally" spills beer on her) Yo, who the fuck do you think you are?! Dude, I'm soaked! Asshole, now I gotta go dry off.
Player: You can give it but not take it? - Non-Action Guy: Regardless of how angry she'll get with you, instead of throwing hands she'll call in Frank, then Derek and finally Leah to beat you down if you cross her enough. If all of them are unable to fight and you attempt to speak to her again, she'll just say that she's going to ignore you. The only way to get her to actually fight you is from attacking her first or calling her ugly.
- Out of Focus: Meta. Initially Madison was prominently displayed as the face of the game and even presented an in-game tutorial. The latter was completely scrapped (along with her Opportunity "Simon Says" for being buggy and not fitting thematically) and she's not really a big factor in most of the other partygoers' stories, while in the marketing her spotlight has largely been redirected to other characters like Vickie or, amusingly, her sister-rival Ashley.
- Pay Evil unto Evil: While the Player can hear Ashley insist Madison spilled beer on her deliberately, it's only from hearing Madison admit to doing it that gives them an option to spill beer on Madison in retaliation.
- Relationship Sabotage: In the Host Hijinks opportunity, you can push Derek into pranking Madison back in retaliation for the relentless pranks she played on him. Depending on how you pull it off, it will make their relationship even more strained than it was before or it will cause Madison to outright say that they're through at worst.
- Smug Snake: Madison likes to portray herself as cultured and intellectual but nobody really buys it. For all of her bluster about the cleverness of her pranks they all effectively boil down to having Ashley naked in public.
- Squee: She'll let this out if you manage to prove that her "mysterious neighbor" is none other than Doja Cat and practically begs you to get her to come to the party.
Ashley
- Actual Pacifist: Ashley reacts to any violence at the party with a gasp before immediately running away from the room, while vocally condemning Frank or Madison for beating up Patrick. This can be circumvented if you get her pissed enough to let out her resentment towards Madison. Or if you get her pissed enough with YOU.
- Big-Breast Pride: While she's very much not into exhibitionism, Ashley's stacked and she knows it. Dialogue at the end of her Smooth Operator Opportunity has her ask the Player if "these" are what got their attention.
- Brick Joke: One taking several years for a payoff! From the earliest versions of the game the microwave was broken and it wasn't until the Doja Cat DLC in 2022 there's an explanation for it: Ashley put the metal spoon found on top of it inside it.
- Clashing Cousins: Subverted. While Ashley disapproves of most of Patrick's behavior and views him as something of an imposition, they otherwise get along fairly well over the course of the evening. It probably helps they have a common relative they mutually dislike more in Madison.
- Girl Next Door: Labelled as such in the official trailer, but it's not as immediately apparent in-game as the Player only meets her that night.
- Granola Girl: Ashley has shades of this, with an interest in ecological preservation (given the "Save the Whales" poster in her room), being interested in yoga (though she apparently doesn't know much about it, as she can't pronounce "Namaste" right), and being really into smoking weed. One reason she resents her sister's art hobby is because the art room used to be Ashley's yoga studio/meditation chamber where she could smoke weed.
- Informed Attribute: The antagonism between her & Madison is referred to as a pranking war and Derek says in ambient dialogue they have a long history of playing pranks on each other, but it comes off as very one-sided. Asking her about it will have Ashley wish that just once she could get one up over Madison, while there's no shortage of stories about Madison doing awful things.
- Kick the Dog: She's normally nice to anybody whose name isn't Madison. If you confront her and get her to guiltily confess that her pet snake killed Purgalicious, however, she asks you to lie to Derek that Madison did it instead despite knowing that he's in a vulnerable state at that moment. Go along her request and she'll be thrilled that their relationship is down the dumps, not at all concerned about Derek and ignoring that the house almost burned down in the process. If you go back on your promise, she'll say that while she knows you probably have your reasons, she will be disappointed and it'll lower your relationship with her slightly.
- Of course, given that she's clearly freaking out and riddled with guilt at the time it's a clear Moment of Weakness. And being that it's at the expense of Madison it really comes off more like The Dog Bites Back. Even the game seems to agree that accusing Madison is the preferred option, since it's the only way for the player to complete the Mission Impawsible opportunity and give Derek closure about his beloved pet.
- Malaproper: Has a few moments, in particular one where she refers to potential betrayal with 3 different Benedicts, none of whom are Benedict Arnold.
- Morality Pet: Subtle, especially given what kind of game this is, but even the Jerk with a Heart of Gold Player character expresses a genuine fondness towards her in their dialogue & thoughts. Part of her alternative route involves not only being a decent person to her but other partygoers, while she's also generally concerned with the well-being of Patrick or Lety. If you choose to go along with Madison humiliating her, using the Inspect option has the Player think that they "may have really let her down tonight".
- Nice Girl: Compared to how Madison treats her houseguests and especially her own sister, Ashley's a saint by comparison. Moment of Weakness aside, she's a pleasant person to talk to and she only really draws her ire towards Madison or the PC should they be an asshole to her.
- Sibling Yin-Yang: Ashley's generally a kind, friendly person concerned with the wellbeing of others. Madison is... not.
- Team Mom: Right from introducing yourself to her, she'll adopt the duty of "co-host" and make sure you don't feel left out from the party. She'll be concerned with Brittney's issues, assign you to look after Lety and voice her disapproval to you any time Madison or Frank beatdown Patrick.
- Terrible Pickup Lines: Played With. In addition to having the standard terrible line that only serves to lower your relationship with someone, Ashley has a twist where the safe-seeming compliment that she resembles her sister will also lower your standing with her, while remarking that she's way hotter than Madison will actually boost your relationship (and is a requirement for her alternate romance path). Lastly, there's a Bait-and-Switch line about someone checking out her ass which also fails, unless her interest's high enough: then she'll find it flattering & funny.
- This Is Unforgivable!: Even if you've untied her top or assisted Madison in pranking her, Ashley will still tolerate your presence and be helpful enough should you seek her advice. If you repeatedly untie her top or show her that you had the bathroom key during Madison's prank, she'll be outright disgusted and have an openly hostile demeanor towards you for the rest of the night, even if you complete Signs of Affection. From that point asking her advice will result in Schmuck Bait while some conversation options will get her mad enough to attack you.
- Unusual Euphemism: Refers to her bust as "30 pounds of chest ornaments". You won't get to enjoy that remark for long though, since the only time she'll ever say this is right before she beats your ass.
- You Are Better Than You Think You Are: If you've been a jerk to Ashley over the evening, giving her beers will get her to lament that you could win her over far more easily if you just be a nice person. Whether she's right or not is up to you.
Derek
- Appearance Angst: Derek is shy about having "French fry nipples", and so refuses to take off his shirt. In the route where this needs to happen, you have to have the majority of people at the party sign a petition in order to convince him.
- Big Brother Instinct: His brother Maurice just got arrested for doing meth. Derek even says that if he finds the person who sold it to him, he'd probably lose his shit. When you let him know who it was, he instantly confronts them and starts to fight.
- The Bro Code: In the Madison art storyline, Derek tries to invoke this to prevent the PC from sleeping with her, as he's into her himself. Whether it works is of course up the player.
- Continuity Snarl: The earlier releases of the game had the backstory of Derek & Madison only hooking up for the first time recently, with this information being unknown to Ashley. Later updates establish them as having some kind of casual relationship with Ashley being aware on some level of it, but the older dialogues remain unchanged.
- Formerly Fat: Derek admits he used to be fat in high school and had to work hard to get his chiseled physique. Upsetting him during a particular questline will make him revert to his bad eating habits for a moment.
- Friends with Benefits:
- At the end of Ashley's route, he becomes this with Madison after you encourage him to reconcile with her. Even after what transpires afterwards, he doesn't really hold it against the player character since they're back on speaking terms.
- You can potentially upgrade the male player character's relationship with him to this at the end of his route. Should the player accept Derek invoking The Bro Code for Madison in her art storyline after you already hooked up with him, then he'll wonder if he's why the player turned her down and offers to show his appreciation later.
- Gameplay Ally Immortality: Is the only character besides Patrick who can never be permanently knocked out apart from special circumstances.note
- Gasoline Dousing: In the Mission Impawsible opportunity should you decide to lie to him that Madison killed Purgalicious. He'll snap and try to burn the house down using the motor oil and the fire pit outside.
- Gay Option: Serves as this to the male player character if you pick the flirty dialogue lines while you're reminiscing about the past with him (and not being an ass in general.)
- Green-Eyed Monster: Pursuing Madison's art opportunity will make Derek extremely competitive with you, as Madison intended.
- Informed Deformity: When you ask him for his shirt for Amy's scavenger hunt, he refuses due to his "French fry nipples". If you succeed in getting him to give it to you, his chest looks perfectly normal.
- Kind Hearted Cat Lover: Derek loves his kitty Purgalicious! He even wears underwear with a cat on it.
- My God, What Have I Done?:
- In the Mission Impawsible opportunity after you stop him from burning down the house, he reflects that it ''may'' not have been his proudest moment.
- After pranking Madison back in retaliation during the Host Hijinks opportunity, he regrets it almost immediately, saying that he doesn't feel any better for it and all it did was mess things up even more.
- Pre Ass Kicking One Liner: Derek has a couple of these. For example, harassing Amy to the point where she leaves the party will have him say this if your standing with him is too low:Derek: Amy just texted me. Told me about the shit you put her through. Thought you got away with it? Surprise, motherfucker!
- Picking the wrong dialogue option when you're competing with Derek for Madison will not only piss her off, but provoke him to beating you:
Derek: Buddy, not only can you definitely not talk to Madison like that, that was weaponized cringe. I hate to do this but, I'm going to have to heavily sanction your face. - Relationship Sabotage: In the Host Hijinks opportunity, you can push Derek into pranking Madison back in retaliation for the relentless pranks she played on him. Depending on how you pull it off, it will make their relationship even more strained than it was before or it will cause Madison to outright say that they're through at worst.
- The Rival: If you choose to pursue Madison via her art contest, Derek's relationship with you will shift into this. The Player's inner monologue will even namecheck him as their rival.
- Schmuck Bait: Asking Derek for advice on the houseguests after you act like an ass to him will have him purposely suggest bad ideas (if he even bothers telling you at all). Some are more subtle, like incorrectly saying that Jared Leto is the lead singer of Panic! at the Disco, but others are obvious lies. Examples include Ashley appreciating you "unloading" on her or that you should totally grab some beer from Frank.
- Shipper on Deck: Should you gain a sufficient amount of affection with Ashley in her Smooth Operator opportunity, Derek will encourage you to get intimate with her.
- We Used to Be Friends: He'll be this to the male player character should certain events play out, like if you sleep with Madison in her art storyline or forget too many of the stories Derek tells you (especially if you tell him that you don't care because you moved on from high school unlike Derek).
- Wouldn't Hit a Girl: Even if he becomes your bouncer, he won't step in if a woman decides to fight you. This also applies to the female player character, assuming you don't step too far out of line. If the male player character decides to sleep with Madison, Derek will attempt to beat him up until the Hyperall he took wears off and tries to get the player on Amy's bad side by telling her he's racist. For the female player character, he forgoes the beating and just tells Amy she's racist.
Brittney
- Dark and Troubled Past: Was raised by a doomsday cult, whose leader hunted her and the other children. She still has some PTSD from the experience.
- A Day in the Limelight: Brittney had a very limited role in earlier releases of the game, where all you could really do with her is convince her to leave the study. Even in the latest release of the game, she's still the only female party guest the male Player can't end up with outside Vickie's threesomes and the Lety-focused storyline. The Date Night With Brittney sidestory remedied this, while in the female Player's story Brittney is already friends with her and invited her to the party.
- D-Cup Distress: Is one of the most well-endowed girls at the party, something she's not really happy about and stays upstairs out of embarrassment.
-
Development Gag: A recursive one! The model for Madison's house is repurposed for the Date Night With Brittney sidestory, with the Player even monologuing about how both houses look identical. When ambient dialogue was added in a later update, Brittney has a line in the original story about how she'd "never be able to afford a place like this". - Fauxshadowing: Her wrestling gig and fellow competitors are mentioned in several dialogues, with one ambient line even having Brittney consider possibly calling her wrestling ladies and inviting them over. They never actually show up at the party, however.
- Flag Bikini: Her bikini is patterned after the US flag. It becomes relevant in Amy's scavenger hunt if you convince her to continue it.
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: The only (natural) blond at the party and by far one of its nicest guests.
- If It's You, It's Okay: Brittney is apparently interested in girls, but seems to make an exception for the male PC.
- Morality Pet: For the female Player character, if you choose to pursue her, she'll comment on actions both good and bad you've committed over the course of the party. Too many negatives will fail her storyline, although she won't care about the bad actions you did if you pursued her early on.
- Sophisticated as Hell: In one of Brittney's ambient dialogue lines, she writes a verbose letter back to her mom and dad about how difficult it's been for her to make friends, then caps it off by remarking that her "tits are too fucking big".
- Southern Belle: Even literally described as one in some dialogue.
Patrick
- Abhorrent Admirer: Patrick is Rachael's. A very early incident at the party involves Rachael slapping Patrick after he attempts to sell her on his website.
- Adaptational Jerkass: In the Date Night With Brittney side story, set after the events of the main game, Patrick attempts to recruit the PC to take naked photos of Brittney without her consent for his porn site despite railing against such behavior in the main story, noting that photos uploaded without the subject's permission just cause trouble.
- Seeing as the Player in Date Night With Brittney doesn't know he's wealthy or about NeighborhoodWatch, it means he never assisted Patrick in winning over Rachael. His failure to do so is likely Patrick's Start of Darkness.
- The Alcoholic: One of the first thing he says to you is that he's absolutely wasted. When you ask him for his phone, you have to sober him up first.
- The Bro Code: Near the end of the Lety route, Patrick will approach you inquiring about her. Ordinarily, this just has the Player tell him to fuck off and leads to Patrick interrupting right before Lety propositions you, where he can and will "seduce" her. However, if you've already helped him out with Rachael, the Player will just ask him to leave it alone. Patrick immediately understands and wishes his Brah good luck.
- Butt-Monkey: Patrick can be punched out by Frank and Madison, gets slapped by Rachael near the start of the game, is The Friend Nobody Likes among the partygoers, can have his phone stolen and used to spoof texts (which it's implied could land him in serious trouble), can potentially get his website shut down including the backups, records, and assets, and generally gets knocked around while at this party. Fortunately, he's too drunk to care.
- Casanova Wannabe: Makes passes at several of the women at the party to no avail. The only woman he can successfully hit on is Lety.
- Everyone Has Standards: Patrick may be a pervert who runs a smutsite, but he's vocally "not down with" revenge porn.
- Fratbro: Even calls himself Pat the Frat and named his accounting firm Taxfrat.
- Genius Ditz: Patrick doesn't come off as particularly bright and has at least 2 kinds of learning disabilities. He also created an extremely successful filesharing website that has made him obscenely wealthy.
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: A bleachjob however, which could mirror Patrick's dirty exterior concealing a...
- Hidden Heart of Gold: Patrick isn't held in high standing among most of the partygoers, but he's still one of its nicest patrons. And then there's his hidden philantrophic side!
- Iron Butt-Monkey: While he's got the least HP in the game, Patrick is also the only character besides Derek who can never be permanently knocked out outside of special circumstances.
- Irony: Multiple characters have ambient dialogue praising the business magnate who used his fortune to save a village in Papua New Guinea from land clearing. None of them ever find out it's Patrick.
- Kissing Cousins: Patrick's general creeper-ness extends to having an unhealthy interest in his own cousin Madison. A line only triggered by Lety's Hunt the Hunk Opportunity even has the Player ask if he & Madison are fucking. Oddly, he doesn't seem to have any lecherous intent towards his other cousin Ashley.
- Let's Get Dangerous!: Patrick is typically incapable of handling anyone in a fight, with minimal health and no skills. Give him a flask of Rachael's DeathMix and he'll become a Glass Cannon who throws martial arts high kicks and backs up Derek well enough for them to take out Frank.
- Love Redeems: For a given value of love, naturally, but it's Patrick's interest towards Rachael that motivates him to be a better man.
- Nice Guy: Despite being a pervert, he's one of the more amiable guests at the party and never really wrongs anyone. Frank will even call him a nice individual if he's not yet discovered he's been hiding wine. Patrick's also an astonishingly rich entrepreneur who uses his wealth to help others around the world.
- Odd Friendship: It only comes up in ambient dialogue, but the drunken pervert gets along surprisingly well with wholesome sweetie Amy of all people. She's one of the few people who never makes any disdainful remarks about him and even thinks his trucker-pill induced Raging Stiffie is "metal" rather than gross.
- Secretly Wealthy: That drunken fool embarrassing himself at the party? Made enough money off a porn site to buy multiple other companies and initiate philanthropic efforts on the other side of the world.
- Surfer Dude: Has a pronounced San Brahnando Valley dialect. Date Night With Brittney confirms that he's also literally a surfer.
- Teeny Weenie: In keeping with his Butt-Monkey status, Patrick's, um, equipment is nothing to write home about. When he sees your penis, he remarks that it's bigger than his and says he needs another drink. In one of the routes, you can see it's so small he uses a key ring as a cock ring.
- Verbal Tic: Brah. Replete with substituting it for any syllable that sounds even remotely alike.
Frank
- Blood Knight: He loves to fight and tells you as such if you try to ask him to fight Derek, only backing off when you tell him he's high on Hyperall.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Definitely has his moments when he's not being aggressive towards alcohol. When he's being chased by you in Leah's dark path, one of his strategies is to try to play dead. While telling you to get lost because he's already dead. Needless to say, it doesn't work.
- Depraved Bisexual: Frank is a violent straight-edge asshole who is attracted to Katherine (exchanging alcohol for a topless picture of her) and can have sex with a male player character. During the latter storyline, he implies a past experience of stalking somebody at a grocery store, breaking into their house, and masturbating into their socks.
- Dirty Coward: Situationally. While he doesn't have a problem beating up Patrick or YOU for drunken indiscretions, he'll back down from Derek when told he's on Hyperall and won't even intervene when he's attempting to burn the house down. He's also terrified of Darkside Leah. If you beat him in a fight either straight-up or with the hidden Darkside techniques, his greeting dialogue will be far more submissive with him suggesting the two of you just leave each other alone. He'll still go after you regardless if you try to touch alcohol, however.
- Disproportionate Retribution: Telling Frank you drank some alcohol? Stealing some alcohol from the cabinet? Just holding an empty bottle of vodka? Making a joke about Frank's sexuality? Better be ready for Frank to beat you to a bloody pulp.
- Gay Option: The male player character has the option to hook up with him, should you cheer him up after he finds out a certain detail about a houseguest and your relationship with him is high enough.
- Heroic BSoD: Upon discovering that Derek's dick is bigger than his, he becomes downtrodden. It's up to the Player to either cheer him up or humiliate him, the latter of which causing him to permanently leave the party.
- Hypocrite: Alcohol? No can do, he's straight edge and he'll beat your ass over it...unless you do him a couple favors. Weed? Perfectly fine and he'll gladly give it to you in exchange for some money. He also has a line where he openly admits to sniffing cocaine from a stripper's asscrack. He'll admit to being this too.Player Character: Wait, so you won't let anybody drink, but you're completely ok with drugs?
Frank: I tried to do the full-blown straight-edge thing, but it was hurting my drug dealing business because people saw it as a sign of weakness that I wouldn't sample my own product. So now I'm only straight-edge when it comes to drinking. - Humiliation Conga: The party does not go well for him. Over the course of the night, you can have the guests belittle his belief that balls are more attractive than penises, expose him as a selfish coward to his apprentice which can result in him being choked out by a snake or beaten down by you, out him as a shady drug dealer so Derek fights him (with you and/or Patrick assisting), get put in his place by Doja Cat and knocked out by her in one slap and even concuss himself by charging headfirst into a locked door. If you manage to prove to him that he doesn't have the biggest penis at the party and taunt him about it, Frank will have a complete breakdown in front of several of the guests and leave the party.
- Politically Incorrect Villain: Refers to the Chinese-American partygoer Amy as "ethnic". She isn't amused.
- Pre-Asskicking One-Liner: If you say or do something that gets Frank on your ass, then nine times out of ten, he has three simple words to tell you before he starts beating your face in.Frank: You're dead, asshole!
- Rape as Backstory: Has ambient dialogue mentioning he quit drinking after waking up next to his Scoutmaster. If you fail the High And Dry opportunity by confessing to Derek you don't care about art and you're just doing it to fuck Madison, you'll end up in her room with Frank while both of you are naked. He freaks out and tries to beat you up, shouting "No Coach Gunderson! Showertime is just for me!"
- Derek also makes references to a perverted Coach Gunderson in his backstory, which...raises questions.
- Saying Too Much: If the male Player asks Frank about stories Derek has told him about their school days, he'll briefly mention he knows Derek's younger brother and quickly start referring to "a business associate". This is your clue that he's involved with Derek's brother's situation.
- Small Name, Big Ego: Frank thinks a lot of himself and frequently exaggerates his abilities and actions to anyone who'll listen, making up grandiose stories about otherwise mundane incidents.
- Smug Straight Edge: Frank has absolutely zero tolerance for anyone partaking of alcohol in his presence, and he considers it his civic duty to attend parties and keep it away from the party-goers. It's also an act to deprive them of alcohol so that they partake in his drugs.
Leah
- Blood Knight: Leah enjoys fighting, to an almost unsettling degree. She'll cheer on Patrick getting beat up and get excited if Ashley & Madison decide to throw down.
- Borrowed Catchphrase: One introductory line of Leah's is "How's it going, dood?" and she even admits she's attempting to get it just like "Sensei" Frank. Mess up badly enough in ...Screw Like a Bee? and she'll hit you with:
- Cruelty Is the Only Option: The only way to even start Leah's storyline is to release Ashley's pet snake from its cage. This can be after Ashley trusted you with her secret after you built up a relationship with her. If you choose to pursue Leah's Light path, it ends with the snake dead and Ashley incredibly upset. The only way to save it is to lead Leah down the Dark path instead.
- Fauxshadowing: Leah has ambient dialogue musing on if she could beat Frank in a fight, while her entire storyline involving the escaped snake appears to be setting up a confrontation between them. But no matter how it plays out, they never come to blows.
- Full-Frontal Assault: Leah will get naked during the hunt for the snake. If you push her down her Darkside path, she'll actually stay naked for the rest of the party regardless of how your final confrontation with her & Frank goes down. She doesn't even really seem to care about being naked even if you snap her out of her Darkside mentality.
- Hypercompetent Sidekick: Despite being the subordinate to Frank, her patrols make her far more dangerous to you since she's able to actually catch you with alcohol when you're away from the liquor cabinet. She's also more concerned with actually providing security for the party, as she's the one who'll help your attempts to catch the escaped snake.
- Irony: Leah despises Patrick and wants no part of dealing with him. Her major storyline involves her dream of acquiring funding to start up her self-defense studio. Not only is Patrick extremely wealthy, but he's a philanthropist that would likely be completely on-board with funding her dojo if she asked.
- Kick the Dog:
- Leah is pleasant enough despite ostensibly being an antagonist to the Player. However, if she witnesses Derek losing a fight with Frank, she'll mock the fact that his brother is currently in prison. It's not clear if she knows that Derek's brother was jailed for possessing drugs sold to him by Frank.
- If the player doesn't intervene when she's opportunistically trying to get Lety to invest thousands of dollars into her self-defense dojo, she eventually loses her temper over Lety not understanding the points she's trying to make and knocks her out with one punch, hard enough for Letty to lose at least a few of her teeth. Leah gives a weak apology after that, saying she was being dumb, and the the voice direction notes state that she doesn't feel that bad about knocking her out, instead being more remorseful over losing her temper.
- Pervert Revenge Mode: Groping Leah instantly provokes her into a fight. It's a way for you to distract her while she's pitching her studio to Lety if you don't care about sinking your relationship with her.Leah: Ohhhh okay, I didn't know that! Damn I love learning new shit...
Player Character: Uh I-know what?
Leah: ...that you wanted to fucking die tonight.
Player Character: The more you know? Ah fu- - Politically Incorrect Villain: Upon discovering a katana in the backyard, she can prompt you to get someone at the party to verify its authenticity. Specifically: Amy. Who is Chinese. Thankfully, she takes it in stride.
- Pre-Asskicking One-Liner: If you say or do something that gets Leah on your ass if Frank or Derek can't deal with you, then nine times out of ten, she has this declaration to make before unleashing her martial arts training on your sorry face:Leah: Oh you fucked up now! Here comes the pain!
- Rage Breaking Point: A LOT of Leah's dialogue implies she's got some pent-up rage issues. There's a few ways you can "assist" her in letting it out. Her storyline involves circumstances that makes her angrier and angrier, at which point you can choose to either calm her down or encourage her to snap.
- Sanity Slippage: While she has a couple oddities, she's generally one of the more grounded people at the party. That has the possibility to change when you're going through her storyline. Depending on your dialogue choices, she'll either remember the code and keep her sanity while convincing Frank to give up the rental spot after saving his life or discard the code and her sanity, beating Frank until he gives up the rental spot.
- Undying Loyalty: To Frank, even saying as such in one of her ambient dialogues.
Stephanie
- Actual Pacifist: Unless you decide to outright attack her, she's one of the only partygoers that won't run up to throw hands with you should you decide to beat up every other character in the house.
- Attention Whore: Stephanie by her own admission likes being the center of ascension but she's never a jerk about it.
- Brilliant, but Lazy: Stephanie is very interested in medicine and one of her routes shows that she has quite the knack for helping the sick and injured. The problem is that she doesn't concentrate well on her schoolwork, finding it easier to get stoned and drunk than pursue such a stressful endeavor.
- Catchphrase: "Back to dancing!"
- Dancing with Myself: She'll always be dancing to the music, even if she's completely alone. Try to turn the music off and she'll just get Madison to turn it back on again.
- Fun Personified: Spends almost the entire game dancing with nearly all her dialogue being airheaded gags.
- Genius Ditz: She is a ditzy burnout who spends most of the party indulging in her impulses, but she's very skilled in the medical field. You can encourage her to pursue her studies instead of getting high all of the time.
- Amusingly, even she thinks Madison's belief in "Sky Animals" is ridiculous.
- Good Bad Girl: Stephanie's the most sexually liberated partygoer besides maybe Vickie and has no shortage of vices, but she's still one of the nicest people attending the party.
- Hard-Drinking Party Girl: Stephanie just wants some Whip-Its and is perfectly happy to dance the night away until she gets some. Once she gets some alcohol, her clothes come off.
- Hooker with a Heart of Gold: Well, topless waitress/erotic dancer, but fits the mold of being a sex worker that is also one of the nicest guests at the party.
- Hopeless with Tech: Stephanie doesn't know how to work the wi-fi speakers and considers them "sooooo confusing".
- Malaproper: A common gag due to her ditzy tendencies.
- Out of Focus: Being a Plucky Comic Relief sort who spends most of the night dancing means Stephanie doesn't get much in the way of spotlight. Outside her paths involving Whip-Its or pursuing medicine, the only unique interaction she gets is offering leads to help you discover what happened to Purgalicious.
- Shameless Fanservice Girl: By her own admission, if the mood is right, she has no problem stripping down.
- Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Kat has a one-sided case of this with Stephanie who she "can't fucking stand" by her own admission, but the closest Stephanie can ever come to wronging her is drunkenly stealing her phone and inadvertently taking it with her while skinnydipping.
- Spoiled Sweet: Comes from money but is still one of the nicest partygoers.
- Terrible Pickup Lines: Averted. Stephanie is the only woman Madison invited who doesn't have the option for one. The closest she gets is cautioning her about her dress billowing up during her spin moves, which lowers your relationship with her as she'll think you're a prude. Amusingly, she has ambient dialogue where she'll use the line you have for Rachael.
- Treasure Chest Cavity: Stephanie has $50 on her that she keeps concealed on her even while completely nude. The Player's thoughts refer to her choice of hiding place as "creative".
- Waxing Lyrical: Fittingly, has a few lines quoting various song lyrics. Or, somehow, dubstep.
Katherine
- Academic Alpha Bitch: Katherine is smarter than you, and she knows it. Even while pursuing her romance, she makes it clear that she's using you to get back at her boyfriend and has no interest in a long-term engagement.
- However, there's also implications that she's a Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond at the party, as she mentions being ostracized from her peers growing up and makes references to Amy's potential sorority picking on her.
- Ass Shove: Threatens you with one if you are reluctant to help her get the Game Grumps to the party. VR!Katherine will make good on this with a strap-on.
- Failed a Spot Check: Katherine won't notice you've put laxatives in her rum unless she catches you in the act. Ironically, if you attempt to give Stephanie the laced rum, she'll refuse it on account of it looking "sketch".
- Freudian Excuse: Has dialogue confessing that her childhood realization of being smarter than most people resulted in her growing up without a lot of friends along with multiple dialogues that her parents aren't particularly affectionate. Her relationship with her boyfriend isn't healthy either, as she puts it: "we found real love in making each other miserable."
- The Friend Nobody Likes: A haughty pompous Jerkass who is blunt at best with everyone, including the host of the party! Even Derek will mutter about how much he fucking hates her after one rude interaction. Unlike with Patrick it's never really explained why Madison even invited her. Amusingly, Kat has ambient dialogue questioning why Frank is at the party.
- Gadgeteer Genius: She's your go-to for any kind of tech assistance, like hacking or flying a drone.
- Hates Being Touched: Katherine is the only character that will always refuse to kiss you during intimacy. She even has a unique cutscene with no kissing! If you attempt to kiss her during intimacy, she'll either throw out one of two disparaging lines if you're a male or claim that she doesn't want to smear her makeup if you're a female. Oddly, the latter excuse doesn't stop her from going down on you.
- Jerkass: She gives Frank a run for his money. She constantly brags about her intelligence, insults you at every turn and makes it clear that she's only hooking up with you to make her boyfriend mad after he ditched her to go to the Game Grumps Live party. Why did he do it? He was too enthusiastic about his biking hobby for her liking and she started a fight with him over it. At the end of her route, she's not concerned at all that he might beat you up for hooking up with her even after calling him so he could hear the two of you doing it.
- Oddly, despite all this, she never really antagonizes the other partygoers with anything more than katty remarks. And provided you haven't completely pissed her off, she'll be willing to help you with any computing assistance you need.
- Laser-Guided Karma: If you give her the tainted rum, she refers to her boyfriend with "imagine his dick shrinking just as fast as Stephanie's chances at a secure future...Ha! Was that too mean? Oh, I just remembered, I don't care." Katherine immediately comes down with a case of brutal diarrhea that only Stephanie can help with.
- Operation: Jealousy: Katherine only wants to sleep with you so she can make her boyfriend mad, since his hobby has been getting on her nerves. She even reveals after your sexual encounter that she left her phone on so he could hear you guys doing it.
- Pet the Dog: If you untied Ashley's top and your relationship with Katherine is high enough, she'll find Ashley's key to her closet on the ground and give it to you since she's cool with you.
- Playful Hacker: Has a genius level intellect and is capable of easily hacking into nearly anything. What's Kat do with these abilities? Assist you in spoofing text messages, re-direct the Game Grumps into landing at the party or help out with a Doja Cat liveshow. If you haven't already unlocked Ashley's laptop, Kat using it will do it for you. She even has some unique dialogue mocking Ashley's very obvious password!
- Politically Incorrect Villain: While she's at worst a Jerkass, before you arrive she apparently hits Amy with "just because you're Asian doesn't mean you're smarter than me."
- Straw Feminist: Katherine can be tricked into signing a petition for Derek to take off his shirt if you tell her it's to chemically castrate all men. Even if she's talking to the male Player.
- Technobabble: When Katherine engages in Hollywood Hacking or prepares the cell phone jammer, she explains what she's doing using complicated language and then acknowledges how the player has no idea what she's saying.
- Took a Level in Kindness: Marginally. After successfully getting Stephanie to help Katherine, she's genuinely thankful for the help and is more pleasant when you greet her. That's about as far as it goes, though.
- Unknown Character: Her boyfriend never attends the party, but it's his absence that keeps her there. Without Kat attending the Player wouldn't be able to seduce Rachael or invite Vickie, help Stephanie follow her calling, trick the Game Grumps into landing in Madison's backyard or assist Doja Cat with her liveshow. Or fuck Kat.
Amy
- Beware the Nice Ones: She's a complete sweetie who's specifically only at the party to make some new friends. However, after one too many jibes from Katherine, Amy's the one that suggests poisoning her to create a medical emergency to encourage Stephanie to become a doctor.
- The Cutie: One of the most wholesome guests at the party whose major storyline is a game of scavenger hunt. Wronging her is a very quick way to earn the ire of Brittney or Derek.
- Fetch Quest: She's on a scavenger hunt as part of pledging to her sorority, and you can help her find each of the items she needs. Examples include an expired credit card and the shirt off of her best male friend.
- Mistaken for Racist: Should the player decide to get intimate with Madison in her art storyline, Derek will attempt to get revenge by lying to Amy that you said she's your "China doll" and that you "want to love her long time." How effective it is depends on how you respond, but your relationship with her will still take a slight hit even if you pick the right one.
- This also has the long-term effect of locking you out from completing the Chasing Amy opportunity if you didn't do it beforehand, as even if you do an otherwise perfect run of it, her affection towards you will still be too low to go all the way. Probably should've listened to Derek when he begged you not to get with Madison, huh?
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Unlike the other women where they'll just let out a What the Hell, Hero? comment and likely beat the living shit out of you if you grope them, Amy will not take it well. Doing it to her enough times will have her start crying, saying that she just wanted to make friends, and run out the front door, leaving the party forever and permanently locking you out of her content. This will also get Derek to fight you if your standing with him isn't high enough or if you're dumb enough to do it right in front of him.
- Ship Tease: Has a slight crush on Derek. Nothing really comes of it beyond some lines of ambient dialogue.
Rachael
- The Artifact: Rachael's storyline involving spoofing fake texts daring her to do increasingly lewd things feels very out-of-place in later releases of the game, which are more about forming a bond with your chosen love interest and helping with their assorted issues. It's still the only romance option she has but an update has Rachael catch on after the final text is sent. You'll be given the option to confess it wasn't actually Vickie texting her and doing so is the only way you can have intimacy with her.
- Berserk Button: Using her to get to Vickie. If you've spoken to her about her dares with Vickie, asking her for Vickie's number will immediately sink your relationship with her and fail all her incomplete opportunities. The same will happen if she overhears you asking Madison for Vickie's number or spoofing text messages with Kat. Should you successfully invite Vickie to the party using a spoofed text and your relationship with Rachael is high enough, though, she'll be surprisingly cool about it.
- Fiery Redhead: Rachael is generally polite and nice to everyone...unless she's pissed off with Patrick for being a pervert. Or YOU.
- Flanderization: In the alpha version of the game, Rachael had a few Breaking the Fourth Wall moments such as calling the texts Vickie sends her something out of the mind of a "perverted game developer," but they were more nudges at the audience than an indication of anything serious. In the updated game, Rachael not only makes more jokes of this nature, but has a whole hidden route revolving around her status as a Fourth-Wall Observer. By the time of the game's official release, nearly every line of hers that isn't connected to her route is a fourth-wall joke.
- Fourth-Wall Observer: Rachael is aware she's an avatar in a game and has wanted to escape the party for ages. Only after meeting Lety and being pushed by the player does she do anything about it, knocking out everybody at the party in a Rage Against the Author. Talking to Frank during this route reveals that he's also aware of his Hate Sink status in the game and resents it as well, even dropping his deep voice.
- Friend to All Living Things: Going along with Patrick's attempts to make the party better for her will reveal environmental awareness is important to her, to the point where telling her that you ripped up the whale poster in Ashley's room (or doing it right in front of her) will piss her off and significantly lower your standing with her. Think Green, Yo!
- Ignored Epiphany: Rachael nearly gives up on her mission to destroy the game and knock everybody out when Frank breaks character and pleads not to beat him up because he's just as much a puppet as she is. But she gets caught up in the fact that the game is apparently fifteen dollars, thinking her dignity is worth at least thirty dollars, and continues her purge.
- I Know Karate: Patrick will remark on Rachael's Krav-ma Brah training after getting smacked by her, while groping Rachael will prompt her to warn you that her body is a weapon. However, she's also no more formidable than any other woman Madison invited unless she hacks the game.
- My God, What Have I Done?: If you have Patrick touch Madison's bug zapper, Rachael will be racked with guilt and blame herself for what she thinks is Patrick being Driven to Suicide.
- Never Gets Drunk: Rachael drinks from a thermos containing Death Mix over the course of the party, a concoction potent enough to put even Patrick into a state beyond schwasted. Rachael never gets past "buzzed".
- Sequel Hook: Namedrops the upcoming Office Party in some dialogue. The best ending for her storyline with Patrick ends with Rachael being hired to work in his company as Head of PR.
Vickie Vixen
- Adaptational Jerkass: Gets hit with this in the Vickie Vixen Valentine side story. Vickie lies to the Player to get them to help her break into Madison's house in order to steal Ashley's edible weed. She also smashes Ashley's guitar trying to get a key out of it before closing the door and pretending it didn't happen. Although it's vaguely implied by trying to go into a bedroom early that the Player is on Ashley's bad side, this is still a far cry from Vickie's behavior in the main game.
- Hooker with a Heart of Gold: This being the kind of game it is, the "hooker" aspect is played up immensely, but in the main story, she's close friends with one of the partygoers, is nice enough to give the player some genuinely helpful tips despite having met him only a few seconds ago (including pointing out how badly certain douchey behaviors are going to go), and generally doesn't seem to have a malicious bone in her body. Notably, the one assholish act she can be involved in (livestreaming Madison having sex to her porn agent) requires lying to her to accomplish.
- Amusingly, whatever potential regret Vickie might have for doing this is quickly nullified by Madison's indignant reaction to possibly starring in porn.
- Perky Goth: The star of Gothic Gangbang 16!
- Sensei for Scoundrels: Subverted. Being a douchebag will very quickly ensure Vickie doesn't assist you in sexual liberation.
- Sex Goddess: The Player will refer to her as "like some kind of wizard!" after she makes them orgasm in 5 seconds.
- Shipper on Deck: Understated, but no matter what your relationship with Ashley is like, proving to Vickie that you can show affection to Ashley is the only way you can proceed in Vickie's storyline.
- Speed Sex: Your first encounter with Vickie lasts a total of 5 seconds. Working on fixing that is your big quest for Vickie's plotline.
- The Pornomancer. Naturally. Play your cards right and Vickie can help you sweettalk every non-celebrity attending the party into a threesome. Some partygoers will even remark on how uncharacteristic going along with all this is for them.
Lety
- Cloudcuckoolander: Lety. She often brings weird tutoring materials to her private lessons and is kind of out there, which combined with her social awkwardness can lead to disastrous results.
- Do Well, But Not Perfect: If you succeed in Lety's Hunt the Hunk Opportunity, it'll slightly boost your relationship with her. If you fail it by groping Derek you won't get the relationship boosts, however it's the only way to access the Sweeties item, which gives you a slight combat perk when consumed. There's no real drawback in doing this as long as you succeed in enough of her opportunities.
- Genre Savvy: When Lety enters the party, she seeks out the typical party guest stereotypes that she's seen in movies, all of which happen to accurately describe other guests in the game.
- Gratuitous Spanish: Being a Spanish tutor, Lety often throws Spanish phrases into casual conversation, including calling the Player character a pendejo.
- Punched Across the Room: If you push her to go along with Rachael's purge, knocking out any partygoer will result in the final hit sending them flying and will even permanently KO the likes of Derek & Patrick. You can even do it to Rachael & Lety if you decide to attack them!
- Rage Against the Author: If pushed by the player when Lety talks to Rachael, Rachael will reveal she's aware she's in a game and enlists Lety to help destroy the party. Lety vows to "start knocking heads till Bobby's got no choice but to shut this shit down!" Lety then begins to rebel, altering her own design to give herself huge hands to knock out everybody at the party, and giving Rachael big boobs just for fun.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Messing up too many times on her storyline will have her leave the party, mentioning on the way out that she's doubling Ashley's rate on her Spanish lessons for good measure.
Compubrah
The artificial intelligence created by Patrick's company, residing in the briefcase on top of the gazebo.
- A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Parodied. While he makes remarks that are disparaging towards the human race he's physically incapable of actually doing anything to it.
- Do Androids Dream?: Compubrah will brag that, as an AI, his dreams of Vickie are "basically VR".
- Fratbro: He's AI created by Patrick. What else could he be?
- Shout-Out: Asking him to sing a song will result in him reciting lyrics to Daisy Bell. Compubrah even acknowledges the reference immediately afterwards.
- Voice with an Internet Connection: Literally!
Arin and Dan
- Beware the Silly Ones: If whatever reason you decide to pick a fight with a Grump, the other will back them up and join them in attacking you forcing you into a 2-on-1 situation. They've also got more health than most of the party guests.
- Plucky Comic Relief: Unlike the other Secret Characters which have their own quests, the Game Grumps cannot be romanced after first meeting them, the only quest is to get them to leave, and have no bearing on anybody's plotlines after they've arrived. Most of their antics consist of wacky side-stories that reference the show's comedy.
- The Dividual: Only ever seen together and will never be more than a few feet apart. Arin even has ambient dialogue addressing this.
Doja Cat
Amala
Doja Cat
A famous singer like her real life counterpart. Available in her expansion pack, she can be seen through a crack through the fence in the backyard. With some effort on your part, she can be allowed into the party.- Berserk Button: While most of the other characters won't be appreciative if you start masturbating in public, it'll only lower your standing with a couple of them at worst. Doja Cat, on the other hand, will become furious if she catches you and she'll run up to beat your ass. Even if you do it a fair distance away from her.
- Celebrity Star: A textbook case of this, being voiced by Doja Cat herself with one of her opportunities being to assist her with one of her hit songs.
- Gameplay Ally Immortality: Unlike Derek, Patrick, or the Grumps, she's the only character in the entire game that you can't damage at all, while she punch your lights out in just a couple hits. As such, pissing her off to the point of fighting you is a bad idea.
Liz Katz
- Amateur Sleuth: She's here to solve a murder mystery.
- Bloodier and Gorier: Her expansion involves Madison & Ashley being splattered with blood, along with being able to do something gross with the microwave.
- Naughty Tentacles: A trademark of her... works... elsewhere and teased in her upcoming trailers.
