If you became homeless... what would you do?
CHANGE is an emotional homeless survival experience set in a randomly generated city with rogue-like elements. Explore, survive, earn perks, find items and more to develop your character and escape to a new life.
20% of Delve Interactive's profits from this game will be donated to charities focused on the issue of homelessness.
Will you spend the day begging, depending on the kindness of others?
Will you find shelter in the night?
Perhaps you're moved out of the area by the police for loitering. Unable to find shelter, you end up on the streets at night, and you meet a dog. Is it a stray? Could it be a friend? All your actions affect your happiness in some way, and it's up to you to manage your stats accordingly. You could turn to drink, but risk addiction. You could hope for a fortunate event, or make some progress towards your survival.
But you will have to choose. It could all be over if a bad event occurs in the dangerous night streets. Especially during winter.
Every run is different, and with each run comes more ways to explore CHANGE.

PLANS
Our goal with this project is to raise awareness on the issue of homelessness, as well as raise money for it. We have done a ton of research for this project and while our wish is to portray the reality of homelessness, various aspects of sleeping rough have been abstracted for the sake of gameplay. We hope you'll support us during our early access journey as we quickly approach the full release currently planned in January.Join us in the community section to discuss the game with the team!

Hello everyone! It's been 2 whole weeks since our last update, and now we're back with another big patch! Sorry for the wait!
This time we've taken a big look at the balancing in the game, added some new jobs and made a ton of general improvements and lots of other things!
We decided to push back the story elements to be included in the park update when that lands, as many of those features are too intertwined to be released separately.
Next week we'll be adding even more sound effects, new items and new perks! Plus we'll be doing some quickfire patches over the next few days with more general improvements and fixes.
Stay tuned guys, and please, as always, keep the wonderful feedback coming. :)
