Party Hard is the goofy mass-killing game for the Twitch generation

Party Hard is turning mass-killing into a spectator sport.

When I first played Party Hard at Casual Connect Europe, I really didn’t get it. But the stealthy 8-bit game — in which you kill your noisy, party-loving neighbors — clearly made a big impact, as it picked up the Best PC Game award. Its Ukrainian developer, Pinokl Games, also picked up a partner in Tiny Build Games (of SpeedRunners fame), which is helping add goofy, lighthearted elements — and Twitch livestreaming interactions — to what’s an otherwise dark concept.
