Bum Simulator
You lost everything and ended up on the streets. What will you do? Adapt and survive? Take revenge on those responsible? Become an urban legend? Bum Simulator is a sandbox game bursting with inappropriate humor and memorable characters. Apart from day-to-day survival, you can enjoy many unique features. You can throw pigeons at people and watch as the panic ensues. Not fun enough? Upgrade your birds with explosives and let chaos reign. Still not satisfied? Wait until you see the fully upgraded pigeonado skill…
What it feels like
The game is bursting with inappropriate humor, dark comedy, and memes that gleefully disrespect seriousness and taboo. Launching explosive pigeons and creating a 'pigeonado' exemplifies deadpan absurdist comedy and nonsense logic. Despite dark subject matter, the tone invites mischievous experimentation — throwing pigeons at people for chaos and entertainment.
What it's about
Enduring life on the streets as a homeless person is the central struggle and narrative premise. Set in a modern recognizable urban setting (Bumsville streets) grounded in contemporary homelessness. Taking revenge on those responsible for losing everything is offered as one narrative path, though not mandatory.
How it plays
Day-to-day survival on the streets is explicitly central to the gameplay loop and experience. Steam tags mention base-building as a feature, suggesting players can establish and maintain shelter or a home base. Steam tags list crafting, likely relevant to survival and resource management on the streets.
How it looks and sounds
Steam tags confirm first-person perspective as a core presentational mode.
How it's structured
The core design is explicitly a sandbox game where players set their own goals — survive, take revenge, or become an urban legend — with freedom to pursue multiple playstyles. Designed as a single-player experience with no multiplayer component, as confirmed by Steam features. Bumsville is an explorable open world where the player navigates day-to-day survival and various activities freely.
