Game Features

Hobo: Tough Life is a city survival RPG. The game is situated into an attractive city environment. It is supposed to be tough. You will have to deal with hunger, hostile environment, human unconcern and with forthcoming winter. On the other hand we want to be storytellers as well. We will tell stories inspired by those less fortunate from real life, but also stories somewhat romanticized. We want to balance those approaches, because we are not trying to make some sort of realistic simulation, but after all we want to create a game.

Main gameplay features:

Attractive city environment to explore
Tough gameplay with survival elements
Branching main story with side-stories and quests
Non-linear gameplay with replaying possibility
RPG approach with surprising elements

Explore

Explore the hidden nooks of the city and look for useful items to help you survive. Discover various attractive locations, such as a subway station, the central square, a park, and others.

Experience

Enjoy a gripping story in the background of your fight for survival. Make friends and enemies, solve quests and puzzles, and find your own way to the end.

Survive

Fight for your life on the merciless street. Search bins for food and booze. Beg, resort to pickpocketing, do literally anything to make it through another day. Get something to burn to keep yourself warm, for the weather is about to get worse. Freezing winter nights may be your biggest enemy, but not the only one, so be aware of unpleasant surprises lurking in the dark corners of the city.
