About
High Above is a relaxing sandbox game about creating your dream rooftop hideaways!

Design your own elevated retreat, high above the city's noise. Turn an empty rooftop into a dreamy getaway - whether it’s a sunlit Mediterranean courtyard, a sleek modern terrace, a minimalistic Japanese rooftop garden, or a sci-fi hacker hideout. And as you build and decorate, watch as life unfolds - day turns into night, a stray cat strolls in the sun, and birds land for a quick bite.
Build the foundation of your rooftop retreat and shape it just the way you like. Tweak the scale and position of each structure to fit your vision. Whether you’re crafting a single peaceful hideaway or placing multiple buildings to form a cozy little scene, the layout is entirely up to you. Let your creativity guide the skyline!
Decorate your dream rooftops with a wide variety of charming details - from windows, balconies, and moldings to plants and glowing lanterns. Choose from a selection of materials to match your style, whether you’re going for modern minimalism or rustic charm. Add a personal touch with furniture and decor - set up a futuristic PC station, create a warm and cozy reading nook, or build a tranquil space to watch the stars. It’s your hideaway - make it uniquely yours.
If you’re in the mood for a gentle challenge, you can also take on optional mini-missions from visitors who dream of their own rooftop escape. Each of the four themes features three light missions where you create a rooftop retreat based on someone’s personal wishes - from a cozy reading nook to a peaceful Zen garden. Work at your own pace, build within a limited budget, and unlock unique decorative items to use across all your builds.

Take a breath.
No timers. No stress. Just your own quiet corner in the clouds.

Vou te contar... É o jogo mais relaxante que eu já joguei na minha vida! Você só sai criando conforme sua imaginação, tem que observar espaço necessário para determinadas estruturas, e tem uma gama de objetos para customizar seus prédios. Acho que a única coisa que falta mesmo é os NPCs se movimentarem pelas estruturas e mais estruturas internas pra customiza, más fora isso, é muito bom esse jogo!
怎么说呢,并不好玩吧,玩不下去,画面也很一般呢
Recommendation from me! Nice relaxing little game! Beautiful and imagination triggering, at least in my case...
玩了 20 多分钟,觉得有点无聊,退出去了其实我觉得这个游戏还是挺好玩的,但可以选择的东西很少,而且呢,摆放的物件也不多,很容易就玩腻了主要入不入手还是见仁见智吧
Best cozy game i ever played! Love it!!!
I love decorating/building games like this that have minimal/no real goals, and it's neat to see one that's centered around rooftops as a sort of minimalist lean into the genre. The art style is also very charming!
Extremely zen design game
EDIT: changed this to a negative review because game isn't saving when I tell it to. That makes me sad. I really want to recommend this game, but I would like to save my progress, lmao. This is a very cute and well made game, but I do wish it had a few more prop movement controls. I wish I could move props within the same plane or use arrows to adjust their position the same way that I can with building sizes. Right now there are things I'd like to pull off which I simply can't because the game won't let me place props the way I want them.
Contrary to what the Steam page says, the game is unplayable on SteamDeck. I got stuck in the tutorial right when you have to delete an item: it’s just impossible! I really want to play this game, and I know other SteamDeck owners who are in the same boat, so I sincerely hope the developers can add controller support. And when they do, I’ll immediately give it a positive review because I want to support this kind of independent and creative project !
Ce jeu indépendant, créé par Alex, est un petit bijou brut qui mérite d'être poli. Il faut le prendre en main, avant tout. Une fois maîtrisé, vous allez pouvoir vous lancer dans les défis sur quatre thèmes différents (trois objectifs à chaque fois). Les possibilités d'atteindre les objectifs sont infinis. Vous devez répondre aux demandes des locataires avec un porte feuille pré défini. Vous aurez une multitude d'assets, au choix. Le résultat vous sera propre grâce à vos envies et vos décisions. Une fois l'ensemble des tableaux terminés, (pour une maîtrise complète du jeu) vous pourrez vous lancer dans vos dioramas en mode bac à sable, sans contrainte d'argent et créer vos vies sur les toits au gré de vos envies. Les outils de vent, de brume, heures et autres oiseaux vous permettront de renforcer les ambiances. C'est un jeu de détente très cozy aux graphismes colorés est adapté à tous les âges, est à petit prix et vient de recevoir une mise à jour d'accessoires (2026.07.17). Je le RECOMMANDE. This indie game, created by Alex, is a little raw gem that deserves some polishing. You need to get a feel for it first. Once you've got the hang of it, you'll be able to take on challenges across four different themes (three objectives each time). The way to achieve the objectives are andless. You have to respond to tenants’ requests with a predefined wallet. You’ll have a wide variety of assets to choose from. The result will be your own, shaped by your desires and decisions. Once all the levels are complete (for full mastery of the game), you can dive into your dioramas in sandbox mode, with no money constraints, and create your rooftop lives however you like. Tools like wind, fog, time of day, and birds will help enhance the atmosphere. It's a very cozy, relaxing game with colorful graphics, suitable for all ages, affordable, and has just received an accessory update (2026.07.17). I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it.
