Your character should be homeless, or at least be able to be, with all the issues that comes with

Imagine if they made a survival game in Night City where you were homeless and had to get food, water, shelter, avoid gangs and police, and treating combat the way Tabletop does. Having it fast, brutal and very easy to die in.

Imagine if they pitch it as Cyberpunk 2, complete with huge tech trees and stuff, so you start homeless thinking that you'll grind your way up to a body modded god like the first one, but the actual realities and difficulties of being homeless mean that it's impossible to ever crawl your way out, and at the end you realize that the only win condition you can hope for isn't progression, but just survival. Now there would be a bleak artistic statement on capitalism, that would be hated by every player and make none of its money back.
