What is The Highrise?
A first-person survival horror game set in a high-rise sealed off by an alien invasion. Alone or in online co-op, you search its floors for supplies, break down furniture for materials, craft tools and weapons, and manage hunger and thirst while avoiding monsters that react to noise. Lower floors hold more resources but more dangerous monsters, and your goal is to send a rescue signal.
For you if...
- +you like scavenging and crafting in abandoned buildings
- +you want cooperative survival with sound-sensitive monsters
Not for you if...
- −you prefer survival without hunger and thirst management
- −you want combat without stealth or noise-based detection
