They then pick up their phone and enter through the front door of the house, in which the party is in progress. After arriving to the party by a ridesharing app, the player stumbles and drops their phone, cracking its screen and effectively breaking it. The game begins with an introductory cutscene showing the player character receiving a text from either their friend Derek or Brittney, depending on the gender of the player character chosen, with an invitation to a house party that their friend is currently attending. Due to its strong sexual content and themes, Twitch blocked users from streaming gameplay footage of the title, regardless of which version of the game was being played.
