## What is Family Bash?

Family Bash tells the timeless story of the Family – the one we love, cherish, insult and despise. You arrive in the village hall of a small French town out in the sticks in Normandy to celebrate your grandfather’s birthday: he’s 90 years old, still “all there” and is the living memory of your family. Just as the party is shaping up to be fun, you find yourself at the centre of an intergenerational conflict with unforeseeable consequences. You begin to uncover the dark secrets and ulterior motives of the various members of your family. In Family Bash, a seemingly insignificant choice can change the relationships between your family members forever. So explore your surroundings and make choices, talk to your cousins, confront your uncle and find out about that mysterious will – for better or for worse. 

• Explore some unusual themes in the video game: the family and comedy. 
• Find out about your grandfather’s last will and testament, uncover some unmentionable secrets and destroy your uncle’s car.
• The extraordinary visual style of Geoffroy Monde 
• An original rap soundtrack


Produced by Atomic Raccoon and Kilosaurus, edited and co-produced by ARTE FRANCE, European cultural TV and digital channel.

### 2/5 — Bug

*2026-06-21*

Le jeu bug et se bloque dans un cadre gris.

### 1/5 — Assi. Aggro. Kein Niveau. Datenschutz gleich null!!!

*2026-03-09*

Anfangs bleibt es interessant, bis man gefragt wird, ob man die Vollversion kauft. Und dann folgt niedrigster Familienstreit. Beleidigungen, negative Situationen - und man muss sich entscheiden, wie man darauf reagiert? Ob man mitmachen will? Wieso sollte ich sowas denn wollen? Wie die Frauen in diesem Spiel dargestellt werden - ebenso richtig asi. Es gibt so viele schlimme Wörter in dem Spiel, dass ich geschockt war. Ich habe noch nie so ein negatives Spiel gespielt. Hat mich sehr erschrocken - und dafür auch noch Geld ausgegeben. Ich traure um die Kohle, die mir bestimmt 4 Kugeln Eis im Sonnenschein versprochen hätten.

Abgesehen davon, habe ich jetzt rausgefunden, dass die Nutzungsbedingungen sind: Abgabe jeglicher Daten von mir. D.h., E-Mail-Adresse, kompletter Name, und weitere Informationen. Ich kann nicht diese Sache zurücknehmen, außer ich besorge mir selbst irgendwie die E-Mail-Adresse von ARTE, und muss dann so meine Datenschutzerklärung zurückziehen. Kann mir mal jemand erklären, was sie mit meinen Daten wollen? Ich hab doch eine Vollversion gekauft? Ich finde das höchst alarmierend!!!!

### 1/5 — Payant et politisé

*2025-12-09*

Il faut payer 5,99€ en plein milieu de l’histoire pour pouvoir continuer à jouer. L’histoire véhicule des clichés politiques.

### 5/5 — clever and wry little visual novel

*2025-07-07*

the art style is wonderful, and the dialogue is made with love (and a healthy dose of cynicism). keep up the good work!

### 3/5 — Payant

*2025-06-29*

Dommage… mais je respecte Arte 
Votre jeu Sens marche t’il à nouveau ?

### 1/5 — Not Worth It

*2025-06-12*

I was bored and I downloaded this game. I played the epilogue and thought the story was pretty decent, I knew your choices didn’t really matter, but I still thought it would be kind of fun. I didn’t know the game would last less than an hour and that if you replayed it, it would be the same thing over and over again. For $0.99? Sure, it would be worth it. But to charge five dollars for a game that doesn’t even last an hour is insane. I know it is just a game and I should not be that mad over it, but I truly felt like I got scammed.

### 5/5 — Jeux court mais tellement drôle (parce tellement vrai !)

*2025-05-11*

Bravo pour les dialogues et les personnages, j’ai rarement autant ri en jouant. Ceci est plus qu’un jeu, c’est une mini-série inspirée de la réalité familiale (je vais retenter l’expérience avec des choux différents pour la peine !).

### 1/5 — No mention of it being a demo in the description

*2025-04-18*

I got excited to download this game, not seeing that it’s not even the full game. I don’t buy phone games very often, and it was disappointing to be lured in by the fun description without the transparency of being explicitly told it’s not the full version in the game description. I don’t have an issue paying for content when I have some spare cash but I was trying to find something free to play today so wasting data on downloading this when it’s not the full game really bummed me out.

### 5/5 — Pretty creative

*2025-03-31*

Wish more games were willing to think out of the box like this. Worth 5$ . Not done with all the achievements yet but it’s certainly entertaining

### 5/5 — Ungewöhnlich schön

*2025-03-17*

Wunderschön gezeichnet, toll erzählt. Mega guter Einstieg in diese Geschichte. Bin sonst keine Spielerin, aber die zum Teil fast schon poetischen und eindrücklichen Bilder in der Story gefallen mir extrem gut. Und: fühlt sich an wie ARTE. Das mag ich sehr. ❤️
