Hey :)

Video Game Concept:

University should be the start of a bright future—but for many students, securing a place to live is the first major battle. 

Overcrowded dorms and overpriced private flats. Long commutes, constant financial strain, and the mental toll of instability make academic success feel secondary to simply surviving.  

On top of that, the recent 2025 Student Housing Protests highlighted the struggles of finding dependable funding. NSFAS payment delays and gaps in coverage left thousands struggling to pay rent.

In this game, you’ll navigate the realities of student accommodation— from the struggle of securing funding to eviction notices, tight budgets to couch surfing. Every choice impacts your well-being, your studies, and your future.
