The Crush House has everything: romance, drama, a Malibu mansion, and… a dark mystery. Behind the bubbly, colorful facade, The Crush House seems to have something lurking under the surface, something “worse than death,” according to a news release — the show’s cancellation. Reigns developer Nerial announced Friday that The Crush House will launch on Windows PC on Aug. 9.
As I’m sure you can tell, The Crush House is sort of like a playable version of Love Island or The Bachelor, set in a Malibu mansion in 1999. You play as the show’s producer, tasked with filming the cast’s shenanigans. But it’s not as easy as just pointing the camera and running with whatever happens — you’ll have to put people together to create that romance and drama to keep up with the audiences needs.
At night, you’ll explore the titular house and begin to uncover the darker side of the show. Here’s how Nerial described it:
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.
I’ve never wanted anything more. The Crush House is out Aug. 9 on Windows PC, but there’s a Steam demo available now.
