Being homeless is a very interesting setting to play in.
So far I have finished one playthrough, which was quite a ride until I managed to escape from homelessness.
Getting money and surviving the harsh conditions on the streets felt like a real challenge.

Securing a good spot for shelter, food, education, and jobs is one of the most important things to get early.
Having everything close is a game changer here.
Grabbing useful items from the shops makes it easier to survive during the game.

Since I finished one playthrough, I was wondering if the different backgrounds somehow affect the survival, but I can't see that there is any difference.
I started a new story with mental illness and nothing changed, just the character I played as.
That feels a bit disappointing to not have any other circumstances that make it harder in some way.

Once in a while I encounter an annoying bug that keeps me stuck after finishing a study session.

I will most likely try to finish the game and get the true ending unlocked because I am curious.
Still enjoying it, but I wish that there were differences between the backgrounds.

We think this scenario of being homeless is far away, but in reality, it is never far away and everyone could be affected.

I have beaten a play through of this game today, and it felt so worth it. As time passed I got better and better, and learned more about what homeless go through. I highly recommend this game =]
