Virtually Homeless

A homeless simulation game. The game is modeled on real-life facts and research. You have lost your home (for whatever reason) and are now facing homelessness. In the game, you select a startup financial situation as you enter homelessness. You then live each day like a homeless person, and you can always track your situation (how many days you have been homeless, how many times you have slept on the street). The game is designed such that a person facing homelessness can learn what their life may be like once they actually become homeless. It is assumed that you are a single person with no dependent children (90% of homeless people are). Just like real life, some aspects of the game are determined by a random number that the software generates (e.g. you need to walk *40* minutes to get to a homeless shelter for the night, or, you made *$12* in 3 hours of panhandling). The goal of the game is to experience what your life will be like as a chronically homeless person. And yes, it's a link to a web site.
