Highwater is a roguelike survival game that places heavy emphasis on simulated weather conditions, a procedurally generated city, and intuitive crafting. The weather simulation tracks a storm which causes fluctuations in temperature, wind, and water level, creating a constantly changing terrain for the player to navigate. Highwater is set in a city generated by leveraging procedural meshes to providing a different iteration each playthrough. Crafting allows players to gather various raw materials, each with properties that allow users to experiment with and combine items in many ways to create more complex tools.
