Mechanics

The action of Project Highrise for AND, PC and iOS takes place in the modern world, and the player assumes the role of the manager and the architect of a new skyscraper. The production is not fully realistic so the building is erected in stages so that the completed levels can be filled with inhabitants and workers, letting us earn money necessary to continue building new floors.

While playing, we have to carefully choose investments, optimize costs, meet our customers’ needs, and balance the budget. We have a lot of freedom in organizing business—we can make the building a place for entertainment and relax for tourists, focus on providing offices for companies, concentrate on expensive living apartments, or to try to combine different approaches under one roof.

As a manager, we also have to monitor the people inside the building. In this way, we can learn their opinion and problems. This, in turn, lets us adjust the skyscraper to the needs of our tenants. Their satisfaction is influenced even by such details as food quality in canteens and restaurants or the cleanliness of carpets. Every inhabitant and company demand individualized approach so meeting their requirements is no easy task.
