Devolver Digital approached me to design a tie-in tabloid blog for their upcoming release The Crush House. I was provided the Figma docs for the game's UI, slidedecks about the characters & story, and a few of the game assets. From there, I was free to come up with the design for the site!

The game makes heavy use of rounded corners & wavy textures, which provided the basis for the design. The background SVG was pulled straight from one of the game's menus, providing a fun vibe & contributing to the chaotic energy we were aiming for.

Certain elements of the site feature a glitch effect, enriching the lore of the game through cryptic messages. There's also a possibility that if you visit during a certain time of day, the website becomes even more compromised than it usually is!

The site features portraits and animated pixel art by Jonathan Romero Ruiz, along with hilarious articles written by Steven Messner.
