About the Game

Inspired by This War of Mine, this is a survival simulation focused on the brutal reality of life at the bottom of society.

You are Sam. A veteran. A father. A man broken by the system. After the tragic death of his son, a shattered marriage, and job loss born of despair, Sam finds himself on the unforgiving streets of Los Angeles—one of countless forgotten souls in the shadow of the sprawling metropolis.

Scavenge dumpsters for resources, beg for temporary work, and manage your decaying physical health alongside crushing psychological trauma. Seek shelter from the dangers of the night. Your morals will be tested at every turn—will you help others, focus solely on your own survival, or exploit the weak to get ahead?

In a system that remembers your every move, every decision shapes Sam's fate. Can you guide him to a glimpse of redemption, or will the street claim another lost soul?

  • A Survival Narrative Grounded in Brutal Reality: Experience a mature story rooted in modern societal struggles, exploring loss, addiction, and the fragile pursuit of hope.

  • Hardcore Survival Mechanics: Manage hunger, illness, addiction, and PTSD while braving the harsh elements.

  • Meaningful Moral Dilemmas: Your actions have lasting consequences, altering relationships, opportunities, and leading to multiple endings.

  • Dynamic Street Ecology: Interact with a living city comprised of fellow homeless, indifferent citizens, authorities, and hidden dangers.

  • Build a Makeshift Home: Slowly transform a forgotten corner into a fragile sanctuary against the chaos.

The city never sleeps; it just waits to consume the next lost soul. Will it be you?
