🎬PLAY THE DEMO ON STEAM NOW!
🔊MAJOR NETWORK ANNOUNCEMENT: 1999's biggest, hottest reality show📺just got a new season! Join us on April 4th for the premiere of
#TheCrushHouse
, streaming live from sunny Malibu.
Best get ready to work - we'll need YOU to produce the show.📹
Yep, we simulated Reality TV. Not to brag, but we're pretty proud of it. We simply built custom narrative architecture extracting semi-procedural chaos from cast member personality flaws, motivations and turn-ons - y'know, just like the real deal.📸
Oh yeah? Well we're making a THIRST PERSON SHOOTER. It's like a First Person Shooter, but your loadout is a camcorder and your objective is to film a whole TV show without getting canned. Now is this algorithm going to do its thing, or do we need to sacrifice Chorby?
The Crush House is kicking off multiple features at
#SummerGameFest
, starting with Devolver Direct on the 7th. Stay tuned to our social media platforms for juicy gameplay details, production stories, and even a surprise!
💡A new cast enters the spotlight! Will they make it through the week with love and friendship, or will they turn the house upside down with drama? Tune in to
#TheCrushHouse
game, full reveal trailer streaming exclusively on The Network tomorrow.
You’re the producer of a reality TV show. Keep the show on air by choosing your cast, filming the chaos and satisfying your audiences. But can you find out what’s REALLY going on in the house?

What's that? The Network's Chorby! Chorby, the first Reality TV mascot that absolutely isn't watching you 24/7. More Chorby, more Crush House seasons! Chorby. Each sold separately, batteries not included.
#TheCrushHouse
Nostalgia from the past! You don't see these limited-edition Chorbies nowadays anymore. Luckily, this amazing artist recreated one in 3D for those who missed out on collecting them.
Before The Network appointed Chorby as our mascot, we had some.. other options. However, as we are a fully transparent and candid streaming service with ZERO deep dark secrets, we've decided to share these options with you.
001: Long Chorby

one of my favorite bugs we're currently dealing with on
@TheCrushHouse
is that instead of dumbbell curling a dumbbell, the cast members have started curling other random objects, like cigarettes and cans of crush juice
Drew like a dark, fucked up version of Chorby haha. Just a glimpse into my dark reality. A full stare into my twisted perspective would make most simply go insane lmao
THIRST-PERSON SHOOTER [video game genre]: (noun we invented) a game in which you shoot an entire reality TV show with a camcorder.

Happy Friday, producer! Congratulations on keeping The Crush House on air for another week. Of course, we've prepared a corporate surprise for all your labor. Which one of these delicious, visually appeasing pizzas is your favorite?
