A downloadable Higher: The Last Dream for Windows

Higher: The Last Dream is an immersive 2D platformer in which you play as Starlight, a hero of light cast into lost worlds, drained of all color and joy. The legendary flames must be rekindled so that each world can shine again. But behind every world he crosses lies a truth he no longer remembers.


In a universe between dreams and reality, Starlight, a hero of light awakened in darkness, must ascend the skies and confront the surrounding obscurity.

Along your journey, you'll meet new endearing, mysterious, and quirky characters, and face mythical creatures that stand in your way. Lost in the unknown and having lost your memory, rekindle Starlight's eternal flame by rediscovering the hero's forgotten memories.
