What it is
The Crush House is a single-player adventure and simulation game from Nerial, set on a 1999 reality television show. You play producer Jae, choosing a four-person cast from twelve personalities, filming each season and trying to meet the changing demands of the audience. Different audience groups respond to different content, so producing a season involves deciding what to capture and when to show advertisements. Ad revenue can be spent at night. The show also has a mystery beneath its romances and drama: snooping and conversations can help Jae investigate the cast’s dependence on Crush Juice and the Success Slide, while the Network may obstruct her. The game is available for Windows. Steam features include achievements, full controller support, Trading Cards, Steam Cloud and Family Sharing. Its genres are adventure and simulation, and it was released on August 9, 2024. Devolver Digital is the publisher.
