The High Tower

The High Tower is a single-player, third-person action-adventure game set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. With Earth covered by thick, toxic clouds, humanity’s only hope is a colossal tower that reaches beyond the poisoned skies. As the divine Chosen, you carry out the Church’s mission to climb the tower, explore its mysteries and confront the truth buried in its depths.

The tower and the wasteland

Inspired by the biblical story of the Tower of Babel, the game follows an end-times narrative through a vast megastructure. You pass through its layers of crumbling ruins, cryptic machinery and remnants of a civilization that has lost its way. The tower is both humanity’s last hope and its prison; its monoliths and monumental architecture emphasize its scale. Beyond the tower, you explore dense fog and forgotten ruins in a world consumed by catastrophe.

Three climbers

The story branches according to which of three climbers you play and the choices you make. Each has a different goal:

• The Scientist: seeks to unlock a dimensional gate at the summit.
• The Heretic: aims to detonate a nuclear device and bring everything to an end.
• The Mercenary: follows orders to eliminate threats lurking in the tower.

Each path leads to different fates. Your climb tests your wits and combat skills, while the story brings religious and science-fiction themes together and asks questions about destiny, ambition and the limits of human understanding.
