Indigent

Indigent is a game designed to cause emapthy towards those who are without a home and support. They have no choice but to live on the street and hope they can make it through each month. The game brings up challenges that a homeless indevidual might experience.

Game Play

You have 3 resources to keep track of: balance, health, hunger.
The average panhandler makes between $2 and $25 a day. With each day a random value within this range is assigned to your balance total. Once this resource hits 0 it is game over. Health does not increase unless an opportunity arrises but it also does not prompt game over unless you cannot afford to be treated. Hunger will go up or down depending on the current value, always moving towards the value 50. While hunger is low your health will take a hit.
