Highwater
A flooded-world adventure where you guide a crew through apocalyptic ruins, light combat, heavy story, and enough atmosphere to make drowning look scenic.
GamerScout Verdict
A compact narrative adventure for players who value atmospheric world-building and choice-driven storytelling over combat depth.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Highwater
I spent a few hours with Highwater expecting another indie walking simulator, but it's got actual systems under the hood. You're steering Nikos and crew through a drowned Earth, managing supplies, picking fights with scavengers, and making choices that ripple through the narrative. The combat is turn-based and forgiving, not the draw here, but the world-building is. Every flooded city, every scrap settlement, every character moment feels like it's pushing toward a reason why escape matters. It's short and doesn't overstay its welcome. If you're after a story-first adventure that respects your time and doesn't demand twitch reflexes or 40-hour commitment, this lands. The art carries most of the weight; the writing does the rest. It won't reshape how you think about games, but it's a solid weekend companion if apocalyptic narrative and lush environments appeal to you.
