Day 116 Patch!
You can now level up and progress through your item unlocks with successful runs!
Tents and sleeping bags no longer provide a happiness bonus when using shelters, now the bonus only applies if you sleep rough. But they still improve the chances of a good night event.
You can now switch to non-16:9 aspect ratios when setting your resolution. Please let us know if any particular resolutions cause issues! The game is still best played in 16:9, do let us know if you want us to add a resolution that isn't available yet. Also, fixed a bug where you couldn't select any resolutions... Fixed a bug where moving to a new area caused shelters and other buildings to be closed or think it was the wrong time Fixed a bug where it could become winter after moving if the next day was winter Fixed animations being able to go waaaaay too fast if you had speed boosters (again) It now takes a bit longer for a night event you've already seen to appear again Fixed a bug where the "warmed" status could start cooling down while the game is paused Fixed various cases where a good night event reward would still show a sad face Fixed a bug where you would steal an item when the game told you you were buying the item while inflation is active Fixed a bug where street vendors did not show a buy button when first using one Crime icon added to Laying low popup Fixed a bug where the "apply" button would continue to show in the job office while waiting to hear back on an application Fixed a bug where the game could crash or freeze when hitting max level

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.
Manage your hunger, hygiene, happiness, crime levels, street reputation, study levels and other stats as you try to survive and escape the homeless life. But you can only do so much in one day... what will you do?
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.
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.
