  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.
  
• Experience a beautifully composed emotional soundtrack
  
  
  
  
  Manage your hunger, hygiene, happiness, crime levels, street reputation, study levels and other stats as you try to survive and escape the homeless life. But you can only do so much in one day... what will you do?
  
  Will you spend the day begging, depending on the kindness of others?
  
  Will you find shelter in the night?
  
  Perhaps you're moved out of the area by the police for loitering. Unable to find shelter, you end up on the streets at night, and you meet a dog. Is it a stray? Could it be a friend? All your actions affect your happiness in some way, and it's up to you to manage your stats accordingly. You could turn to drink, but risk addiction. You could hope for a fortunate event, or make some progress towards your survival.
  
  But you will have to choose. It could all be over if a bad event occurs in the dangerous night streets. Especially during winter.
  
  Every game is different, and with each playthrough comes more ways to explore CHANGE.
  
  If you became homeless... what would you do?
  
  

  PLANS

  Our goal with this project is to raise awareness on the issue of homelessness, as well as raise money for it. We have done a ton of research for this project and while our wish is to portray the reality of homelessness, various aspects of sleeping rough have been abstracted for the sake of gameplay.
  
  So far, we've raised over £7000 for the charities CRISIS, The Clocktower Sanctuary and Shelter.
