HIGHWATER Award-Winning Adventure Now Out for PC and Consoles, New Trailer

The megachill developers at Demagog Studio have announced that the award-winning narrative-driven adventure / strategy hybrid, Highwater, has landed on Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S (check out our 9/10 review!), and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store today. Download the game during launch week to enjoy a 20% discount.

Check out the new Highwater trailer:

Winner of the Gold NYX Awards for Best PC Visual Art and Best PC Indie, Highwater has players float freely across vast waterways with a group of eccentric pals as they attempt to sneak onto a rumored rocket to Mars and begin new lives on the red planet. Use classic turn-based combat and items in your nautical environment, like oars, harpoons, fishing rods and more, to sideline the seafaring scoundrel you’ll encounter on your voyage.

When the waves have settled, soak in the sights and turn up the cozy vibes with Pirate Radio’s original zen tunes. Who said the end of the world had to be so dry?

Highwater tells an emotional story about friendships and survival in a flooded post-apocalyptic world equally disturbing and beautiful,” said Rogue CEO Matt Casamassina. “And it belongs to a much larger universe that spans three self-contained games.”
