Dec. 2025
Honestly, this game feels amazing to play. Been playing for a while now and, at first, you have no idea what you're doing and the game ends up being much more in depth than at first glance but, over time, you gradually start to pick up the different mechanics and understand the gameplay loop, there's also a lot of tips from fellow players online that helps with this, great community. One of the best parts is how all the mechanics are linked, there's not really any mechanic just for the sake of it so far as I can recall. You have food, which is a staple in survival games, but then there's needing to go to the bathroom, which is linked to stink if not managed, which then leads to your ability to beg and get money and, well, buy more food! (Among other things) This, with the quests and tasks to break it up a bit, make for (at least me and many others) a game that I was very pleasantly surprised by, I have never written a review before but I think this one deserves it and holds a special place in my heart.

It's a fun game and all but please, for the love of all that is holy, add a search feature to the servers. It's actually miserable trying to look for your friend's lobby.

This game is a hidden gem. The quests are really good and so are the characters. The game is has some truly hilarious parts but also deals with the subject manner of homelessness in a serious and respectful way. The game has a hardcore+ mode for hardcore survival fans, which I greatly appreciate. The game also hasn't crashed once in my almost 80 hours of playing it. Overall this game is well worth it, especially if it's on sale. I'm not even done with the full campaign yet after almost 80 hours. If you're on the fence, just get it... especially so if you're a fan of survival games.

Oddly enough this game kind of got me through a divorce. I found it during a rough time and it just became my outlet for a several weeks. I spent too much time building up money, getting better gear and base building and should have focused on completing the story. After about 90 hours playing, my file got corrupted and I lost everything. However; this was good timing as it snapped me out of everything and got me back to living my life. Solid game.

Homeless guy RPG Sheds a lot of light on the truly shitty parts about being homeless, not a carbon copy of the experience of course But it's a good reality check depicted from a satirical point of view Disappointingly it doesn't look like it will see further development
