Sega has a Crush
Posted at 10:58 pm in PSP

It seems Sega is branching into new directions, what with puzzle games for the PSP now… and “inventive” one at that, too. The company has announced Crush, a puzzle game that will intrigue players with its new “style of thought-provoking gameplay.” If you thought it was becoming too philosophic, don’t fear because it’s not: the game will be set in a 3D world where players will crush the environment and transform it into a more simplified 2D platformer. Once that is done, players will be able to move on to solve “otherwise impossible” challenges and more.

Designed for a wide and varied audience, Crush tells the story of Dan, a man with a lifetime of unresolved issues and bottled up emotions that have turned him into a nervous insomniac who is too tired to turn his life around. Desperate for a cure, he turns to hypnosis. It is during this state that he is given one last chance to sort through the wreckage of his past, before he loses the last thing he has - his sanity.

Crush is being developed by UK-based studio Kuju, and is set for release this Summer.
