About the Game

Not Today: Homeless Survival is a gritty urban survival game that forces you to face the unforgiving reality of the streets. In this brutal fight to stay alive, you'll learn to hustle for every dime, play on people's sympathies for spare change, and get your hands dirty when push comes to shove.

YOU HAVE 30 DAYS

A massive approaching winter storm is rapidly dropping the temperature, making the weather harsher with each passing day. Once the blizzard hits, surviving outside will be absolutely impossible, and you will feel the ruthless, bone-chilling cold in the worst way possible. You have exactly 30 days to scrape together enough cash to secure a warm roof over your head. Time is running out, and you must act fast to earn your way out before the streets freeze you completely.

STAYING CLEAN IN A DIRTY CITY

You can try to make money by begging, dumpster diving, collecting scrap, or using the guitar skills left over from your past life. It is entirely up to you to finish this game with your honor intact.

CROSSING TO THE DARK SIDE

Pickpocketing, breaking into cars, mugging. There have always been faster ways to make money. If you think you've learned the rules of the streets well enough, the choice in this moral dilemma is yours. If you get caught, every single penny you've saved could be gone. And starting from scratch on these streets is much harder than you think.

HUNGER, HYGIENE, MORALE, HEALTH ALL FOUR MATTER

Making money alone isn't enough. When hunger strikes, you grow weak and your speed drops. If you neglect your hygiene, the city rejects you even more. When your morale shatters, every step feels heavier. And when your health finally depletes, nothing else matters. You cannot survive on the streets without keeping these four in balance.

LEARNING THE RULES OF THE STREETS

The unforgiving rules of the streets harden you with each day you survive. By completing tasks around the city, you earn perk points to shape your character according to your own survival playstyle. Over time, you learn which dumpsters to stay away from, figure out who you can hustle for more cash, and develop the sleight of hand needed for darker deeds. Every new day makes you better prepared for the city's dangers and turns you into a sharper, more street-smart survivor.

THE CITY IS WATCHING

Someone passing by might ignore you, hand you some change, or call the cops. How you look, how you act — all of it determines how this world treats you back. The city is alive, and the city is watching.
