Streets of Survival is an evocative, single player digital game that artistically explores the complexities of homelessness, with a focus on the female experience. It immerses players in a limited urban map where they must navigate through daily challenges—managing resources like money and food, and making decisions that affect their health and social interactions. The game’s mechanics are crafted to provoke thought on the impact of each decision, simulating the precarious balance of survival faced by individuals experiencing homelessness.

The game employs a unique aesthetic and narrative approach to deepen players’ understanding of homelessness as a multifaceted issue, rather than a series of isolated events. By excluding typical gaming mechanics such as combat and instead emphasizing empathy-driven decisions, Streets of Survival serves as a powerful piece of interactive art. It encourages players to reflect on the societal structures and personal circumstances that contribute to homelessness, aiming to elicit empathy and inspire thoughtful consideration on what it means to navigate life at the margins of society.
