Los Angeles, CA. (March 31, 2022) - Eek! Games, developers of the singleplayer comedy adventure video game House Party, and Elizabeth "Liz" Katz, a renowned cosplayer, actress, and model, have teamed up to create a heart-pounding new House Party expansion pack that blends classic party-comedy with a chilling crime.
Having hit the ground running post-release, and with a rapid launch schedule of new free and paid DLCs (featuring both real-life guests and original House Party characters), Eek! Games has redefined the party genre, and is helping players party in new ways with a unique mix of mystery, comedy, and sexiness in partnership with its most perfectly on-brand influencer yet: Liz Katz.
The long-awaited identity and title announcement video for the “House Party - Detective Liz Katz in a Gritty Kitty Murder Mystery Expansion Pack” follows the base game’s monumental exit from Early Access in July, and the launch of the Doja Cat Expansion Pack in September. It also travels hot on the tail of two fan-favorite holiday events with planned launches as permanent DLCs and the exciting announcement of the “House Party - New Content Pack” featuring new clothing items, a short new side-story, and two new original House Party characters!
The announcement video features Liz Katz introducing herself to players while wearing a cosplay of her House Party detective outfit, showing off some of her favorite cosplays, and introducing the official title of her DLC: “Detective Liz Katz in a Gritty Kitty Murder Mystery.” The video also gives viewers a sneak peek of her in-game character model wearing the matching in-game outfit.
“Liz is fun, hilarious, and sexy - and she’s been a huge fan of House Party for years,” Bobby Ricci, creator of House Party, says. “Working together is a blast, and she let us really go all-out on the new story and NSFW scene. This expansion pack will surprise players in all the best ways, and we can’t wait for everyone to fall in love with Liz when they meet her in-game this Summer.”
Celebrated widely in both the gaming community and cosplay scene, Liz Katz rose to prominence at WonderCon 2012, winning IGN's Best Cosplay, and proceeding to rank fifth in Playboy's (2014) and fourth in For Him Magazine's (2016) "Sexiest Cosplayer" in following years. Liz Katz also boasts massive followings on Instagram, Twitter, OnlyFans, YouTube, and Twitch.
In addition to cosplay, modeling, and streaming, the famous influencer has been featured in music videos, movies, and television shows, and even voiced the character “Bloodshine” in Borderlands 3. Liz Katz is well-known for her playful, seductive, and video-game-loving personality that her upcoming House Party expansion pack will showcase - alongside several exclusive, hand-selected cosplay outfits.
“All of our Patrons who are playing the early builds love her character model and signature story outfit - they just think she’s a good fit for the game,” says Bobby. “And Liz loves our fans just as much as they love her. It couldn’t be a better crossover.”
According to Eek! Games, the “House Party - Detective Liz Katz in a Gritty Kitty Murder Mystery Expansion Pack” will “bring House Party back to its roots” with more of the edgy explicit content that took the gaming industry by storm upon its initial launch into Steam Early Access in 2017. The Liz Katz story will be the most experimental yet, featuring Liz Katz cosplaying as a detective at the party after one of the party guests becomes the victim of a grisly murder.
The “House Party - Detective Liz Katz in a Gritty Kitty Murder Mystery Expansion Pack” is expected to release in late Spring of 2023. It will be available as a paid downloadable content expansion pack on PC. It is now available for wishlisting on Steam.

ABOUT LIZ KATZ
Liz Katz is a talented content creator, model, and actress. Credited as the first mainstream “adult” cosplayer, and the first cosplayer to monetize her cosplay work online, she creates fan service focused content “for fans by fans.” Her bubbly personality and snarky sense of humor have endeared her to fans around the world, and she has been featured by publications including Playboy, FHM, and CBS’s former Man Cave Daily.
Liz discovered her love for cosplay and gaming at a young age. She spent the 90’s attending conventions and Magic: The Gathering tournaments and playing every roleplaying game she could on the PS1 and computer. As an adult, Liz pursued opportunities in the modeling and adult industries, later focusing on cosplay and YouTube - where she quickly gained attention for her knowledge of 90’s games and her desire to push the limits of what was considered acceptable in cosplay. Over the years, Liz has expanded her repertoire to include vlogging, streaming, and acting. Her content covers a wide range of topics, including pop culture, gaming, and personal insights.
Liz's cosplay career has spanned over a decade and includes iconic costumes such as Harley Quinn, Tifa Lockhart, and custom character creations from Dungeons & Dragons. For years, Liz was a regular personality and character actress in YouTube videos shot for Disney Digital Network (formerly Maker Studios) as well as numerous Bat in the Sun “Super Power Beat Down” videos. She was also the first adult performer to voice Mickey Mouse on a Disney-affiliated production (a technicality she is sure Disney is not so happy about). Lately, Liz has been finishing her most recent projects; a personal cyberpunk-themed bar-cade called Dark Side and readying new cosplay content and retro-themed shoots for her website's relaunch.
