A skyscraper is more than just steel and glass. It’s a complex ecosystem, filled with people living and working alongside one another — and in Project Highrise, it’s your job to keep the whole thing ticking. Gamepedia is pleased to announce the Official Project Highrise Wiki.

The first challenge you’ll face in Project Highrise is the task of designing and building your skyscraper. Decisions you make at this point could turn out to be crucial later on; every space you create has to have a purpose, and the requirements of your tenants are sure to vary dramatically.

The people that populate your highrise will be the difference between success and failure. Whether you’re constructing spartan offices or luxury penthouses, it’s imperative that your skyscraper is filled with paying tenants, and attracting renters isn’t easy. At the end of the day, it’s all about your bottom line — and if you’re willing to ignore your ethics to make a little more money, you might find that greed has its benefits.

Of course, there’s always the option of keeping your head held high and doing things the right way — but the world of real estate is perhaps easier to navigate if you’re willing to be a little unscrupulous.

As well as its open-ended sandbox mode, Project Highrise features a campaign of increasingly difficult scenarios to test your skills. This isn’t a game that you’ll master in a weekend; expect to spend many hours perfecting your abilities and rising to the top of the real estate market.

Project Highrise is available now on Steam. For more information on this engrossing sim, check out its official website — and don’t forget to take a look at the Official Project Highrise Wiki.
