WHAT IS IT? In HIGH ON LIFE, you have to save humanity: Some drug dealing aliens have invaded Earth and announced that not only are they in control, but they're turning humans into illegal drugs. You have to work as a bounty hunter on an alien world so that you can become proficient enough with firearms, and get more guns to rid Earth of the alien invaders who want to turn humans into drugs. WHAT WE SAY: Proceed with caution. 🔞 Exposure to Inappropriate Content Given the game's mature humor and absurd world, some of the content may include swearing, crude jokes, sexual references, and potentially offensive themes. There is likely to be adult language and situations that could be inappropriate for children. 🚨Glorification of Violence: High on Life involves combat scenarios, many of which are over-the-top, absurd, and violent in a cartoonish way. The weapons used in this game talk a lot! The language used by these weapons glorifies and advocates violence. 💬 Direct Messaging Players can communicate in multiplayer through voice and text chat. This direct communication with strangers can expose users to inappropriate language or contact. Players may also connect through online platforms like Steam or Discord. If playing online players can be exposed to unsolicited messages or invitations from strangers. 🔐 Privacy Concerns The game itself does not collect extensive personal information, but online multiplayer modes may share player usernames and profiles. Players should be cautious about sharing personal details in voice or text chat. 📱 Cyberbullying and Harassment In multiplayer modes, players can interact via voice and text chat, which can sometimes lead to toxic behavior, harassment, or bullying. This can be distressing for younger or sensitive players. 🧑💻 Online Predators and Grooming While the player base is mostly older teens and adults, the presence of voice and text chat in multiplayer can expose younger users to contact from strangers, including potential grooming attempts. 🧠 Addiction & Mental Health The game’s fast pace and humor-driven gameplay can be highly engaging, possibly encouraging extended play sessions. It’s important for players to take breaks and manage screen time. 🎮 Game Concerns High on Life includes violent gameplay with shooting and cartoonish gore, which may not be appropriate for all children. Its mature themes and language suggest it is better suited for older teens and adults. 📢 Lack of Advert Moderation There are no in-game ads, so users won’t encounter third-party advertisements while playing. |

Try to stay up-to-date on Internet trends and best practices. 📢Underage Accounts: High on Life might have an age restriction but it lacks a proper age verification process.

Always be mindful of what’s visible in your background—it can reveal location clues. 🧠 Trust Your Instincts If something feels uncomfortable, it is uncomfortable. Leave the chat immediately and don’t engage with users who seem suspicious, aggressive, or inappropriate. 🖥️ Place Devices in Shared Spaces Keep internet-connected devices in living rooms or kitchens, not bedrooms.
