Jae has just become the producer of the hottest reality show around, The Crush House. But just because it's her dream job doesn't mean it is easy. The demands are high and the stakes are even higher. She has to cast, film, and produce each season of The Crush House while also capturing all the things that make reality TV great/messy: drama, tension, and romance.
Choose from 12 eccentric personalities to find a four-person cast each season. By mixing and matching the personalities, sparks may fly or tensions may run high. But be sure the capture the best moments on camera, because what good is it if the fun stuff can't make it to air?
It's no secret that audience reaction often influences the direction of a television show, and that's no different with The Crush House. It seems like everyone from Foodies to Pharologists is watching, and they've basically split into dozens of micro-audiences that need to all be kept entertained. Ideally that would happen for everyone all the time, but since when it life ideal? Do the absolute best job possible because if it's not good enough the show could be cancelled.
Money matters. Period. And good entertainment is rarely cheap. (I'd argue with that, but it does matter in The Crush House.) Get companies on board with airing ads during the show to keep money flowing. Ads may lose the show some viewers, but it could be worth it since the extra cash can be used to furnish the house and mix things up for the cast/audience.
And if all that isn't good enough… there's also a mystery afoot! And it's a sinister one. Jae explores the mansion at night when the show is off-air to engage in forbidden conversation with the cast. Maybe they can reveal some clues. This could even be related to the cast's dependence on something called Crush Juice or where the Success Slide goes.
Developed by Nerial (the team behind the iconic Reigns series) and published by Devolver Digital, The Crush House will be released for PC via Steam sometime this year.
