IGF Winner - Ulitsa Dimitrova game about a homeless St. Petersburg boy

An unusual game Ulitsa Dimitrova , from students of the German university Kunsthochschule Kassel, was revealed in the list of IGF 2010 winners. The game is made in the style of a child’s drawing with a ball-point pen on paper, but it’s not only unusual.

Here is a free translation of the description:
This game is about a seven-year-old Petersburg homeless boy named Peter. Peter is a heavy smoker and has to constantly produce cigarettes. He steals all the time, begging, visits his mother a prostitute and even falls in love once. His life does not know about change, but as soon as you become bored and tired of playing, Peter will fall on the pavement and die from the cold of the Russian winter.

Why a boy wanders through Dimitrov Street is incomprehensible. Perhaps precisely because nothing particularly remarkable she is not known (as far as I managed to find out). Or maybe it was on this street that a 25-year-old Lea Schönfelder University student, an animator of the game, watched homeless children during a trip to St. Petersburg, which inspired her to create Ulitsa Dimitrova.
