Project Highrise opens its doors for business (Video)

Kasedo Games and SomaSim are excited to announce that the long awaited building management sim, Project Highrise, is now available worldwide for PC & Mac on Steam.

In Project Highrise, players will not only be the architect of their building, but also the manager of the tenants and utilities inside. Build an exclusive address that will attract the rich and famous or a retail haven where visitors will flock from miles around to spend their hard-earned cash. Whatever strategy you go for, just remember to keep your tenants happy.

Steam Workshop
We are also excited to announce that Project Highrise will have full Steam Workshop support. With Steam Workshop, you can personalise your skyscraper with items that you have created such as offices or decorative items. Design a statue of yourself to place in your game, or design an office, retail unit or restaurant of the future and then share it with your friends or wider community.

“We are thrilled to bring a modern iteration of a classic game to simulation genre fans everywhere” says Jonathan Hales, Managing Director of Kasedo Games. “While wanting to deliver fun and addictive gameplay, we also wanted to engage with the imagination of the community. By introducing modding to Project Highrise, we can do this while also giving players the opportunity to play the game the way they want”.

Create your own asset from scratch or modify one of the many assets that have been made available in the Project Highrise Modding Hub. Not a creative type? Then go ahead and download a ready-made mod from Steam Workshop. Project Highrise is available for £14.99, $19.99, €19.99 on PC & Mac on Steam.

About Project Highrise
Your job as the architect and developer is to build world-famous skyscrapers that will be the envy of the entire city, masterpieces of art and engineering. But a skyscraper is more than just steel and glass, it’s an intricate ecosystem, full of people that live and work in the building. They become a complex machine that needs your steady hand to keep it running smoothly and efficiently.

From the moment you break ground, every decision rests with you. As the architect you must coordinate the construction of everything – every wall and wire, every office and apartment. As the building owner you must keep your tenants happy – and paying rent on time. As a savvy developer you must keep an eye on the bottom line and invest in the future. Succeed and you will reap the rewards of a prestigious address where everyone will clamour to live and work. Fail and you will watch tenants leave in disgust, taking their business elsewhere and leaving your reputation in tatters.

Will you create an exclusive office highrise that attracts business leaders from around the world? Will you construct luxury apartments in the sky, penthouses for the elite and playgrounds for the famous? Perhaps greed will get the better of you and you’ll build a tenement building that trades tenant happiness for loads of cash? All these choices and more are yours. Success is entirely in your hands.
