About This Game

Welcome to Praslav, a cold Central European city that grows even colder with the coming winter. Praslav is recovering from the political turmoil that followed the end of the Cold War and the fall of the Communist regime, which held the country in its iron grip for decades.

While most people eagerly awaited the coming of democracy and capitalism, some were unable to adapt to the new socio-economic climate. Soon they found themselves on the streets with nowhere to go.

You are one of those people.


Keep an eye on your needs and other variables, which interact in realistic ways - staying warm, dry, and well-fed are not your only concerns. Poor hygiene and dirty clothes make you smellier, low temperature increases the risk of falling ill, and whatever piece of food comes in must also come out at some point.


How far are you willing to go to survive? Steal, burgle, and consort with criminals of all sorts. If necessary, take what you need by force. However, you are not an action hero. Consider your actions carefully, for the consequences are often severe, and benefits rarely outweigh the risks. Most importantly, keep your wits about you. Even if you are not willing to hurt people for personal gain, others are.


Spend the last few days of autumn wisely – gather supplies, equipment, and materials to help you survive the most difficult of seasons. Weather is unpredictable, but there is one certainty - every day is colder than the last. With a lot of preparation and a bit of luck, you might even see the spring again.


Unlike other survival games, Hobo: Tough Life leans heavily on its story content. Experience dozens of storylines inspired by real-life events and people. Solve quests, meet unique NPCs, gain their trust, make allies and enemies, join various factions, and find your place in the streets of Praslav.


Maybe there is no warm apartment waiting for you at the end of the day, but you do not have to keep sleeping on park benches either. Find a suitable place and get to work. Construct walls and roofs to shield you from the elements. Gather discarded furniture and curios to furnish your hideout and make it truly your own.


Is surviving on your own too difficult? Get the gang together. The game supports online co-op multiplayer for up to 4 players. Play alone, together with your friends, or even with total strangers. Team up, collect resources, build a shanty town, survive the winter.


For over a decade, no one has been able to bring the many factions of the homeless together. The throne of the Homeless King has been sitting empty for far too long. Who will earn enough respect and prove themselves worthy of uniting the homeless? Will you rise to the occasion?

Don't buy this game when you have a steam deck or a linux pc. When i first started playing ran i native and parts of the game made it crash, In one of the first missions you have to go to a church and every time i go there it instantly crashed leaving me stuck in the story progression. Also every time i got sent to jail, which happens quite often if you loot something, the game also crashed. One big part of this game is gathering loot for your base building and this bug inhibits gameplay. Then i tried loading the game through Proton but it coudn't even start. For arround 4 hours i tried to play with these limitations and got nowhere. I then requested a refund for the above stated reasons and got denied because my playtime was over 2 hours. Now i am stuck with this broken game i payed 30 €. This such a big dissappointment

One of the most in-dept and challenging RPG's I have played, probably ever. On the surface is seems like there is not much to it, but the deeper questlines become more nuanced and challenging. Love all the mechanics, especially going into this game blind with minimal guides. The first time you realize it's getting colder every day and becoming harder to stay warm and dry, the panic sets in. Took me several years and a third attempted playthrough to really appreciate this game. I still have tons of content in with around 55 hours of actual gameplay. If you like hardcore RPGs this is definitely one for you.

I'd recommend this game. The hours, days and weeks you'll be spend is worth it. You'll start-off as nobody until you improve your skills and raise your class among Hobos until you become "The ultimate King of Hobos." One of the Survival build your home/base game that I loved and spent a lot of hours for weeks. It feels realistic since you got to maintain all your physiological Needs. Corporeal Needs are difficult to satisfy at first if you are not familiar with mechanics though attainable provided that you have the patience to grind. I died twice until i get the hang of it. You must try this!

Game runs perfectly well on Linux, much more depth than you would expect. Really hard, but that makes it really fun. Some bugs, but nothing breaking yet. Overall nice game but a bit niche.

Came in with the intention of shi**ing my pants. Unintentionally let it go while standing in front of the toilet. 10/10 would do it again!
