Highrise City: More Than Just Bricks and Mortar

Highrise City isn’t your average city builder; it’s a meticulously crafted economic simulation disguised as a sprawling metropolis. Developed over nine years, largely as a one-man passion project, this game prioritizes intricate production chains and resource management. Forget simply plopping down buildings; here, you’re the architect of a thriving economy.

The sheer scale is breathtaking. Build megacities housing up to 40 million citizens, complete with over 30,000 buildings, 15,000+ vehicles per scene, and tens of thousands of individually animated citizens populating your meticulously designed streets. With 196 km² of playable area per map, inspired by real-world locations like New York and Rio, the possibilities are endless.

But Highrise City’s depth goes beyond impressive visuals. Managing over 60 resources and 310 base buildings requires strategic planning and efficient supply chains. Balancing your economy is key to growth, offering a satisfying challenge for both casual players and seasoned city-building veterans. Adjustable difficulty levels, a New Game Plus mode, and even a building editor with Steam Workshop integration ensure replayability and community engagement.

The game’s charm lies in its detail. Watch your city come alive with micro-animations, observe the ebb and flow of traffic, and marvel at the bustling streets. Highrise City isn’t just about building a city; it’s about building a *living, breathing* ecosystem, a testament to the passion and dedication of its creators.
