Day 210 Patch!
The inventory is now split up into 2 menus, one for normal items and one for special/passive items! New artwork and animations added/updated New music Some old music tracks have been updated/mixed
Very slightly decreased chances of gaining happiness on a successful begging Increased price of Chocolate The first perk of any category is now earned a bit faster, additional perks are earned a tiny bit faster. Moving in the park is less severe on hygiene Hygiene decays a bit faster, but decays less with each tick Total number of perks that can be acquired in a run greatly increased
Made various improvements to the subway (Like being able to leave anytime!) Fixed ending text not showing the new reality level unlock Fixed game incorrectly getting set to fullscreen at various points when playing in windowed mode Street vendors talk! Fixed < 1 Happiness causing the happiness stat to not display and extending time before death! Fixed a bug where you could find duplicates of an item you already own in shops the same day you buy the item Fixed some timing/transition issues in the park map Fixed various crash/freeze bugs Fixed graphical glitch if you reach 9pm while on the subway Fixed clicks going through certain popups (So you'd end up dismissing a popup and entering a building at the same time) Fixed a bug where spending lots of time in a menu and then coming out could confuse the timer for rain Fixed various issues with the work buff system Fixed stats ticking down while in pause menu or in building sometimes The Perk Collector achievement has finally been fixed (it unlocks when you have the max number of perks for a run) Fixed city ambience being stuck on low volume after using a shelter sometimes Improved city ambience fading Fixed the job office displaying a different job for one day after moving to a new area if you already had a job Fixed street vendors affecting city ambience Fixed various cases where begging could decrease happiness or not give money; when that's not supposed to happen After begging from someone with the size up icon, the icon now disappears Fixed being able to move to a new area just after entering a building If you get the prompt to move to a new area, moving away from the city edge now allows that popup to show again. Fixed coffee being drunk instantly when bought, it now properly gets added to inventory; even with auto eat on. Fixed inventory text initially reading as "You have no perks" Fixed street vendor menu text being incorrectly formatted Fixed cases where being arrested or moved on could and getting a perk popup at the same time could cause you to lose the perk before being moved on.

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.
