About SKYHILL: Escape From the Skyscraper!

SKYHILL: Escape From the Skyscraper! drops you into a nightmare that begins with a business trip gone catastrophically wrong. Perry, a young businessman, checks into a penthouse at the city's most luxurious hotel to close a lucrative deal — arriving just as a desperate biological attack by the losing Confederates fills the entire world with toxic fog. Hundreds of missiles later, the planet is in chaos, the plush penthouse has become a prison cell, and the neighbors are hungry. Perry is the main course.

The goal is brutally simple: make it from the top floor down to the exit, past the monsters lurking in stairwells and abandoned rooms. Every drawer might hold a can of food. Every corridor might hold something worse. This is a roguelike survival horror experience built around resource scarcity, careful energy management, and the creeping dread of not knowing what waits behind the next door.

One scene shows a red handprint and blood splatter across the side of a brown grand piano — a quiet detail that captures the hotel's transformation from luxury to ruin. Another scene reveals a surveillance desk crowded with nine CRT monitors, a keyboard, a mouse, a cordless phone, a yellow bag of snacks, and a red soda can.

How to Play SKYHILL: Escape From the Skyscraper!

Survival in SKYHILL: Escape From the Skyscraper! rests on two pillars: keeping Perry fed and watching his energy expenditure. Hunger is a constant threat, so searching every room for supplies is essential — a single can of food can mean the difference between pushing forward and collapsing in the hallway.

Beyond food, the descent requires finding weapons and fighting the monsters that have taken over the building. Supplies, weapons, and combat are all intertwined: scavenge to arm yourself, arm yourself to survive the next floor, survive the next floor to keep descending. The core directive is as stark as the setting — just survive.
