Street Boy
Street Boy tells the story of Arlinton, a Jamaican boy hustling with his handcart, helping his neighbors, and standing up to local thugs trying to tear his community apart.
HUSTLE TO HELP. HELP TO HEAL.
Street Boy is a narrative-driven third-person adventure set in Hope Bay, a fictional Jamaican coastal town inspired by Port Antonio, Portland. You play as Arlinton, a resourceful boy navigating summer life while trying to support his grandmother, protect his neighbors, and stop his town from quietly collapsing.
This is a game about community, not conquest.
About doing small things that matter—every single day.
SAVE HOPE BAY
Everything you do in Street Boy helps rebuild and protect the town.
You’ll clean beaches, recycle plastic, deliver food to elders, help shopkeepers stay open, repair shared spaces, and stop locals from being taken advantage of. As you complete missions, Hope Bay visibly improves—NPC routines stabilize, streets feel safer, and community trust grows.
You are not saving the world.
You are saving home.
A FULLY AUTHENTIC JAMAICAN WORLD
Street Boy is built from the ground up around real Jamaican culture, lived experience, and environment—not stereotypes.
Authentic yards, shops, stalls, and neighborhoods
Jamaican food, humor, slang, and social dynamics
Ambient soundscapes inspired by reggae, dub, and street life
Characters based on everyday people, not heroes
Hope Bay features 12 districts, including beaches, wharfs, schemes, farms, plazas, hills, and industrial zones—each with its own rhythm and purpose.
HANDCARTS ARE YOUR LIFELINE
Movement, work, and survival revolve around handcarts and local transport.
You’ll start with a basic wooden handcart and learn:
Weight balance
Momentum
Route planning
Risk vs reward
As you progress, you can upgrade and modify your handcart, including:
Reinforced frames
Bigger wheels
Storage expansions
Speed and handling upgrades
Illegal mods with consequences
Later, you unlock motor carts, bikes, and utility vehicles, each suited to different jobs. Parts degrade over time, forcing repairs and smart decisions.
This isn’t racing.
It’s working transport.
ROLEPLAY-FOCUSED MULTIPLAYER
Street Boy supports dedicated servers designed specifically for roleplay.
Multiplayer servers turn Hope Bay into a shared living town where players can roleplay as:
Delivery workers
Shop helpers
Mechanics
Runners
Locals just trying to survive
Servers are community-driven, similar in spirit to roleplay worlds—focused on immersion, cooperation, and everyday life rather than combat dominance.
Single player tells the story.
Multiplayer lets you live in the town.
JAMAICAN DUPPY COME OUT AT NIGHT
When the sun goes down, Hope Bay changes.
At night, Jamaican folklore comes alive.
Duppy—supernatural spirits whispered about by locals—begin to appear in dark areas, beaches, hills, and abandoned spaces.
These encounters are rare, tense, and atmospheric. Combat is minimal; awareness and avoidance matter more than force. Duppy are not enemies to farm—they are warnings, mysteries, and reminders that the town has a deeper history.
Daytime is for hustle.
Nighttime is for caution.
NON-LETHAL, CREATIVE DEFENSE
Street Boy avoids traditional firearms.
Instead, you’ll use stylized, non-lethal tools:
Water guns and pressure blasters
Water balloon launchers
Traps, distractions, and environment-based tools
Conflict is situational and often avoidable. You are not a soldier—you’re protecting yourself and your community without becoming part of the violence cycle.
A TOWN THAT MOVES ON
NPCs follow daily routines that change with time of day. Some characters disappear. Others move on. Shops open and close. Streets empty at night.
Weather is cosmetic but atmospheric, reinforcing mood without punishing the player.
There is no New Game Plus.
The world only moves forward.
