## About This Game
Hard Times is an extreme urban survival game where you have to put yourself
into the shoes of a homeless man, taking on all the challenges that daily
survival places in the great metropolis of indifference.
You will have to look into junk, beg for money, escape corrupt policemen and
citizens maniac about decorum. You will feel hunger and cold. You will suffer
in the long rainy nights and be glad when you can get a decent meal.
You will have to learn to build your own tools by yourself, craft and recycle
objects to gain resources. You will make artifacts of all kinds, including
furniture, work benchs, kitchens, beds, cardboard boxes, storage containers
for your little treasures and much more.
You will probably have to give up your innocence to survive. Small thefts and
looting will become a gesture of self-preservation, beyond any moral judgment.
You will know the thrill of introducing into an abandoned property to take
possession of it.
You can choose whether to become a squatter and build your base in the city,
live in a homeless camp or move your stuff daily with a cart to sleep every
night in a different place.
You will be hunting for rats and fishing radioactive fish to cook them in the
live fire of an old rusty bin. You will contract illnesses, use drugs and
experience on your skin as cold and indifferent the great metropolis can be
for those who live Hard Times.
Hard Times is a solo dev project being developed by Ivan Preziosi in his spare
time.
