'The Crush House' Gets Playable Demo, August Release Date - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on June 8, 2024 @ 9:36 a.m. PDT

The Crush House is a darkly comic thirst-person shooter where you are in charge of filming and producing 1999’s hottest reality show.

The year is 1999, and the hottest reality show on TV, The Crush House, has just hired a new producer: you.

Jae has scored the gig of her dreams as the producer on 1999’s hottest reality TV show, The Crush House! The demands are high and the stakes higher as she must cast, film, and produce each season. Playing as new hire Jae, take your camera into the show’s iconic Malibu mansion and keep viewers glued to their screens by filming all the drama, romance and tension that erupts. But fail to keep your audience entertained and you may suffer a fate worse than death: cancellation.

Each season is unique based on your chosen cast and the ever-changing audience demands. The longer you manage to keep your show on air, the more questions start to arise. What's up with the cast's dependence on Crush Juice? Where does the Success Slide even go? Clandestine conversations and some good old-fashioned snooping will help you uncover the truth.. providing the Network doesn't get in your way.

But remember: no matter what, the demands of your audience must be met. If not, you run the risk of cancelation. And, of course, remember the network's rule, do not talk to the talent.


A tasty teaser in the form of a Steam demo is available to download and enjoy on demand now.

Choose between 12 eccentric personalities and find your four-person cast for each season’s run. Mix and match conflicting personalities or complimentary attractions and watch as tensions run high and sparks fly. Catch the best stuff on camera and watch your ratings soar.

Everyone with a TV watches The Crush House, from Foodies and Divorced Dads to Butt Guys and… Pharologists? With dozens of micro-audiences to keep entertained, you’ll have to be strategic to capture them all. You can’t please all the people all of the time, but you’ll have to try.

But there’s more to The Crush House than meets the eye, and a sinister mystery is waiting to be uncovered. Jae can explore the mansion at night when the show goes off-air, engaging in forbidden conversations with the cast to figure out the many dark and twisted secrets of The Crush House.
