House Party Streak :(

[The Hash Slinging Slasher]

Wish that there was some notification that let you know you would be losing your progress when quitting a game, assumed that I could close my game of house party and finish it later and instead lost my streak of 4. Same thing happened with Devilition. Is there a notification that I'm missing? Trying not to crash out right now

There's no notification, but it makes sense the way it works. If you could quit out mid-game with your streak intact, you could just keep resetting until you were given a favourable roster of party guests, which would undermine the point of the streak system, which is to demonstrate the skill to successfully work with whatever you're dealt.
If you're familiar with other games that have streak systems like this that only let you suspend safely in-between rounds (Pokémon's Battle Towers for example) then it's not surprising to see Party House work the same way. If you're not familiar with this, I can see how it can be a surprise.

As for Devilition, nothing in the game indicated that it saved any progress at all, aside from your high score at the end. It very much to me seemed like a non-saving single-sitting game, so the lack of a notification for quitting out mid game wasn't notable. But I suppose if you're mostly familiar with games that always let you save and suspend, it can be surprising to see a retro style game that doesn't save at all.
