About The Highrise
Survive a sealed high-rise tower overrun by alien monsters that hunt by sound and smell, scavenging resources and crafting weapons while managing hunger and stealth. Descend deeper for better loot and escape clues, but face increasingly deadly creatures and limited supplies in this tense first-person survival game for up to 4 players.
They come from beneath the ground.
They destroyed everything on the earth on their first appearance.
THE HIGHRISE is a first-person survival game set in a high-rise building that has been sealed off by an alien monster invasion. Gather resources to make fighting weapons and survival tools. You must find and send a rescue signal at the end of your desperate survival.
Feel the void and abandoned highrise building
Prior to this apocalyptic era, facilities such as shopping malls, offices, and residences, which were previously crowded with people, were very familiar and friendly spaces to us. But, now, they will inspire fear in a sense of emptiness and heterogeneity that no one can find. Furthermore, it is a space created by inspiring real skyscrapers, and the space that is vacated or omitted has been minimized. Players will feel that every floor and facility in the building will have the appearance of a very real space.
SHHH! Beware of noise caused by carelessness.
The monster sniffers responsible for humanity's extinction have a highly developed sense of hearing and smell. They can detect even the smallest movements, coughs, and gurgling sounds from your stomach. Moreover, if there is a loud noise, such as glass breaking or falling from a great height, the sniffers will rush to the player.
GO DOWN AND DOWN! Find out more and better resources.
To avoid the monster sniffers, the last survivor stayed near the top floor of a building. The player used to be a linker, connecting these survivors to the food court in the building's basement. Use this knowledge to your advantage. The lower floors you go, the more resources you have and the more efficient you are. However, as they get closer to the ground, the monsters become more powerful and the number of monsters increases. But you never know; you may find any hints to help you escape from the downstairs.
KEY FEATURES
* Hunger and thirst must be controlled. However, be cautious of food poisoning. Food poisoning survivors are likely to be pursued by sniffers.
* You can obtain resources by destroying most of the building's furniture. For a much more efficient acquisition, use tools that are specific to the material of each piece of furniture.
* Make and install the tools required for survival. You can carry a still to purify dirty water, a cooktop to boil food, and a workbench to craft survival tools.
* You can avoid monsters by sneaking between them, but you can also create weapons to fight them. Crafting each appropriate tool and weapon for combat and infiltration allows you to work more efficiently.
* A ventilation system connects all of the building's floors and rooms. This is the only safe zone from the group of monsters, and it is entirely up to the player. Remember the layout and flow of this area.
* There are a total of 6 playable characters, each with different stats and passive skills.
* Single-player and multiplayer for up to 4 players (up to 8 players in custom mode) are available. In multiplayer, there will be balance adjustments based on the number of players.
* There will be Sandbox mode, Survival mode, and Custom mode. In Sandbox mode, infinite lives are guaranteed, and there will be resource respawns. However, in Survival mode, you can experience the true challenge of the game with limited resources and a one-time life. In Custom mode, you can configure various options according to the difficulty level you desire.

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
I LOVED THIS GAME SO MUCH—which is exactly why I hate this so much at the same time. I played this game with my friend, and I loved the environment, mood, setting, and most of all, the gameplay. It was really nice trying to find and secure little base spots as you climb down the high-rise. But once you go down around 15–20 floors, that’s when things start to go downhill. The player is given like 10–15 different tools and ways to fight back, but each one becomes less successful as you continue, since the beasts get more powerful, which is severely unbalanced. Not only that, but the developers are most likely never coming back to work on this game further, which means making the game actually fun and playable after the first few floors is unlikely to ever be fixed. Plus, I don’t think there is any real lore to this game. Which sucks, because wow, this game is so interesting—I wish there was lore. It clearly feels like the developers either didn’t think anyone would care enough to want lore or try to beat it, or they simply abandoned the game for no reason. It’s been nearly 3 years since the last real update, but this is still a game I often think about and want to play and b…4 found this helpful
No clue why the devs decided to abandon this game, its an amazing concept. Seriously underrated if you look past the fact that this game was abandoned imo. some bugs, most being funny. Only complaint about this game is that it crashes often, so save every time you can. I played it through and got to the end. Sort of sons-of-the-forest-esc feeling. Love it. Worth the bucks.1 found this helpful
