Machine Party
A collection of violent party games where failure is lethal, from Mike Klubnika — the mind behind Buckshot Roulette — and GDeavid. 2–4 players, deadly minigames, industrial soundtrack. Out Jul 30, 2026 for $7.99.
What is Machine Party?
If you've played Buckshot Roulette, you know Mike Klubnika's signature: dark industrial horror, deadpan stakes, and a sense that everyone in the room is one bad decision away from dying. Machine Party takes that energy and turns it into a co-op party game. You and up to three friends play through a collection of violent minigames — think Mario Party's structure, but the "party" is a rusted machine that wants you dead.
It came out July 30, 2026 on Steam for $7.99, published by Oro Interactive. Klubnika's name carried it: the r/klubnikagames community has been active since day one, and mods started appearing within a week of launch — always a good sign for a party game.
How it plays
- 2–4 players in online co-op, or shared/split screen locally.
- Deadly minigames: failure is lethal, and the game is designed so someone always loses — dramatically.
- Sabotage is part of it: you're competing to prove your life is worth more than your friends'.
- Industrial soundtrack by Alex Peipman, doing a lot of the atmosphere work.
- Customization for your character, so the deaths are at least stylish.
The tone is the selling point. This isn't a wholesome party game — it's a horror-comedy one, closer in spirit to a possessed version of Fall Guys. If your group likes games where laughing at each other's failures is the main activity, Machine Party is a cheap ticket. If you want a friendly, competitive party game, this one's going to feel mean on purpose.
Steam price, US store, checked Sep 27, 2026: $7.99, no discount. The 20% deal it launched with is gone — Steam never published an end date for it, it just expired. At eight bucks it's an easy "buy if your group plays co-op".
