''Boo Party'' is a SpiritualSuccessor (heh, [[AccidentalPun spiritual]]) to the old ''VideoGame/FranksAdventure'' series of games on Newgrounds, with the same relaxed, laid-back atmosphere and cheesecake imagery, but with a Halloween-esque coat of comedic horror. The game is available on UsefulNotes/{{Steam}}.

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: Some of the mini-games are quite tough, especially the in-game arcade "Succu Bouncer" whose completion is needed to get Sheida Bharo's photo (it doesn't help that your opponents are all but stated [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard to cheat]]). The developer patched the game so that they have been made easier, with more hints and/or helping items, and the opportunity to outright have another character to complete them for us if they're still too difficult.



* GiantFootOfStomping: One of the (even more) retro-style mini games seen in Frankie's training consists of the protagonist having to pick up Pac-Man-esque cherries in a maze, while a giant female foot tries to stomp on him and creates shockwaves in doing so.

Added DiffLines:

* MeaningfulName: Subverted. Dr. Lesbrock's name sounds like "lesbo" and she seems to be ''very'' interested in the girls' pics any time we give them to her, but according to certain hard-to-find quests her orientation is different.


Added DiffLines:

* TokenHuman: [[spoiler:By completing certain tasks you can get Dr. Lesbrock's photo. She also appears in the group photo at the very end.]]
* TotallyRadical: One of the three plants you have to photograph for Dreya the alraune/plant girl's fanzine is a cactus wearing a backwards baseball cap and CoolShades.

Added DiffLines:

* OctopoidAliens: Implied to be the true form of alien girls Alis and Yoofy, akin to Martians as seen by the Japanese; this {{animesque}} depiction of aliens also ties in with their ''gyaru''-like style and the ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution''-style mini game you have to beat to get their photo.

Added DiffLines:

* JekyllAndHyde: Doctor Jekyll is one of the few famous monsters not being directly referenced, but Enrica's quest has you turn her from shy, mild-mannered girl to an aggressive and outgoing LittleBitBeastly wolf girl.


Added DiffLines:

* VideoGameCaringPotential: You can get an achievement for petting Simone's cats after having found all of them and meeting her again around the mansion after having taken her photo.

* GargleBlaster: In order to get Frankie's picture you need to survive her training, but first you have to buy her an energy drink. Said drink is composed of several ingredients including (somehow) ''electricity'', and after buying it from the demon bartender he says he doesn't know how such stuff can even be sold.
* GiantFootOfStomping: One of the (even more) retro-style mini games seen in Frankie's training consists of the protagonist having to pick up Pac-Man-esque cherries in a maze, while a giant female foot tries to stomp on him and creates shockwaves in doing so.



** The game's protagonist looks very similar to the protagonist of the Japanese PC Engine CultClassic game ''VideoGame/GekiboGekishaBoy'', another title based on photography featuring several goofy and/or naughty moments.

Added DiffLines:

* FetchQuest: Most of the gameplay is like this, going around the mansion finding items for the girls in exchange for photos, the rest is mini-games of variable difficulty.



* ProducePelting: During the taping/streaming of Melizia the witch's cooking show, one skeletal member of the audience is seen with a few tomatoes he's ready to throw at her. The tomato is one of the items needed to complete another quest, a burger that Mariah Countee the vampire asked us to bring her.




to:

* WhatTheHellHero: Jaki Nikko the demoness/succubus asks us for a human soul as payment for her photo set. The photographer resolves this by tricking one of the two hapless monster hunters roaming the mansion, and turning him into a mindless shambling zombie.

'''Boo Party''' is a 2022 comedy adventure game, made by developer Cosmi Kankei who is specialized in {{retraux}} games with erotic content, arcade-style gameplay and a funky soundtrack (composed in this case by [[https://www.opussciencecollective.com/ Opus Science Collective]]). The game stars an unnamed photographer who is asked by [[MadScientist parapsychologist]] Dr. Lesbrock to investigate an old manor that is supposedly haunted: turns out that all sorts of creatures and apparitions are having a party there, and your task is to take photos of every CuteMonsterGirl you come across as proof of paranormal activity. However all of these girls are going to ask favors in return or are going to put the photographer to the test...

Added DiffLines:

* BreakingTheFourthWall: A bit here and there, for example when the Queen mermaid's guards are barring the entrance to the girls' changing room because "the protagonist of a game like this one" can't be trusted.

* {{Homage}}:
** The game's protagonist looks very similar to the protagonist of the Japanese PC Engine CultClassic game ''VideoGame/GekiboGekishaBoy'', another title based on photography featuring several goofy and/or naughty moments.
** The sequence in the sewer with the player character on an inner tube reminds of the old arcade game ''VideoGame/{{Toobin}}''.


Added DiffLines:

* NaughtyTentacles: The mermaid queen asks us to retrieve her grandmother's panties that were stolen a century ago. Turns out the culprit was a giant octopus, that becomes a boss of sorts and is also drawn in a vaguely animesque way as of to remind of this trope even more.

* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Frankie, being partially based on stereotypical depictions of FrankensteinsMonster, has dark green skin. The Queen of Mermaids has pinkish skin. Other girls despite being demons or aliens have more life-like skin colors though.

* HiddenEyes: The protagonist has his eyes always hidden by his red baseball cap and mop of blond hair. Alien girls Alis & Yoofy also have their eyes hidden beneath their jellyfish-like "hairdo"/caps.
