Welcome to The Higher Isle

Hey, and welcome to the island.

The Higher Isle started as a simple idea: a game where the whole point is to hang out. No zombies, no battle pass, no grind. You work a couple of odd jobs, text Marley, roll one up by hand and watch the sun go down with your friends.

Why roll by hand?

Because it is the best part. Grinding with A/D, sprinkling with the mouse, rolling with W/S and licking the gum line is fiddly in the most satisfying way. Your first joint will look like a sad carrot. Your tenth will look like art. We tested this extensively. For science.

What is on the island

  • A little town with a diner, a café, a burger barn and a clock tower
  • A beach with a Smoke Shack and a surf shop
  • A marina with a long pier for fishing
  • Sunset Peak: a winding road, a lookout and a telescope
  • A pine cabin, a mountain tarn, a waterfall and a cave with a secret
