Manage a modern skyscraper in Project Highrise
Meet Project Highrise, an economic simulator about building and managing a modern skyscraper. The game will be out on PC and Mac this summer.
Project Highrise is an economic simulator that will let players build and manage their own modern skyscraper. The building will be a separate ecosystem with a variety of shops, offices, restarurants, etc. You will also have to provide electricity, gas, water, television, and internet access for the convienience of your tenants. Besides, running a business like that will require establishing political connections in order to overcome various restraints, such as height, population, or work hours limits. Project Highrise will offer two game modes: sandbox, which I believe is self-explanatory, and story that will take you through a set of scenarios.
Project Highrise is being developed by indie dev SomaSim, the creators of 1849, a city builder set during California Gold Rush. Their new game will be published by Kasedo Games and is slated for release on PC and Mac in summer 2016. A prewiev is planned at the Game Developers Conference 2016 next month.
