From the mind of Justin Roiland (Rick and Morty, Solar Opposites) comes High On Life. Humanity is being threatened by an alien cartel who wants to use them as drugs. It’s up to you to rescue and partner with charismatic, talking guns, take down Garmantuous and his gang, and save the world!

What it feels like

Created by Justin Roiland, known for Rick and Morty's crude, taboo-breaking humor; Steam tags confirm dark humor and NSFW content as signature. Charismatic talking guns and comedic tone invite mischievous experimentation and levity throughout. Comedy emphasis and colorful Steam tags indicate carefree, irreverent fun rather than serious tone.
