Horryefieing: High-Rise

its pretty neat- i think i have a few hiccups with it but its got a good atmosphere, its a little cheeky here and there. it runs on Gzdoom so you will need to rebind all your controls on first start up. I havent finished it yet but im curious to see where the game will go since this is just a prologue

A good game in itself, or rather a good prologue. I've been following the project on social media for a while and was really looking forward to the release. €8.79 is a hefty price, but I'm happy to support indie developers if I enjoy the game enough.
