While hunting downHigh on Lifeboss Krubis, players can find a pipe with binary code written on it. Most players may dismiss the sequence of 1s and 0s as being meaningless, but those that bother to translate it will discover that it translates to “Hello.” Anyone hoping for the secret message to be anything more substantial will no doubt be disappointed by this revelation, but that’s likely part of the joke. By hiding this message in the game this way, the developers basically make the player waste their time translating meaningless code.
High on Lifehas a distinct sense of humor that will appeal to those who enjoy Roiland’s work onRick and MortyandSolar Opposites. Others might findHigh on Life’s humor to be more grating, but few can deny that the game is at least creative when coming up with its punchlines.High on Lifeeven uses achievements as part of its comedy, utilizing them to mock players and make even more nods to other media.
For example, very early on inHigh on Life, players are tormented by a mean child on their way to the slums. Whereas most video games don’t let players harm children,High on Lifehas an achievement for doing so, rewarding players for killing the kid and naming it “Fallout Doesn’t Let You Do This.”
Squanch Games has plans to produceHigh on LifeDLC, so it will be interesting to see what other jokes and Easter eggs that will entail. No release date information has been given forHigh on LifeDLC at the time of this writing, though, so fans can continue scouring the base game for funny references and secrets like this binary code message.
