This is a hate letter to the growing indifference in the world. When members of the development team almost fell into homelessness some years ago, it inspired us to create something that gives a voice to the forgotten and the vulnerable. We take the subject very seriously and portray it as such. After over 7 years of research and hard work, 100s of updates and fan support, we bring you our tale of survival and isolation.

Choose from 5 different characters each with their own background stories and maladies, then create your own story
Find companions and find kindness. Build a reputation or even friendships with various characters including the other homeless and the police
Build your inventory with food, survival tools, clothing and more as well as unlocking new items for your next playthrough as you progress
Spend a night in police stations, parks or shelters, spend time at bars, visit the clinic, study in the library, recycle scrap and more as you discover new areas and buildings
Learn about the lives of the homeless and everything they go through to survive, with every part of the truth having been heavily researched by the developers.
I spent a long time talking to people on the streets and those who’ve experienced sleeping rough to listen to their stories, many of which are included in the game as “night events”. This game was made with the vision of getting homelessness and it’s difficulties across through a game that’s engaging and empathetic.
We also spent time delving into and cross referencing a ton of literature on homelessness provided publicly by various charity, journalistic and government institutions.
