Being homeless is a very interesting setting to play in. So far I have finished one playthrough, which was quite a ride until I managed to escape from homelessness. Getting money and surviving the harsh conditions on the streets felt like a real challenge. Securing a good spot for shelter, food, education, and jobs is one of the most important things to get early. Having everything close is a game changer here. Grabbing useful items from the shops makes it easier to survive during the game. Since I finished one playthrough, I was wondering if the different backgrounds somehow affect the survival, but I can't see that there is any difference. I started a new story with mental illness and nothing changed, just the character I played as. That feels a bit disappointing to not have any other circumstances that make it harder in some way. Once in a while I encounter an annoying bug that keeps me stuck after finishing a study session. I will most likely try to finish the game and get the true ending unlocked because I am curious. Still enjoying it, but I wish that there were differences between the backgrounds. We think this scenario of being homeless is far away, but in reality, it is never far away and everyone could be affected.

Making this review because (ironically) the developers have fallen on hard times and may not be able to continue development after possibly closing their doors in the near future. Please give this game a shot, it's well worth the price and deserves more attention!

This is one of the games I mention when I talk to people about how video games can be art - that they can be used to build empathy, educate people, and bring awareness to issues we might otherwise be blind to. This game has made me a more compassionate person, and that's the highest praise I can give any piece of art. It's obvious a lot of hard work has gone into this game. It's a great challenge, with massive replayability due to different characters, perks, and maladies, as well as new city spawns. The DLC is definitely worth it, too, as it provides distinct scenarios. Truly an incredible work, and one of the most played games in my library.
