Day 264 Patch! Veteran story added more!
The Veteran character story is now playable! The Veteran starts with a minor random item of clothing (The item may change on your next run if you make it past winter) and unique maladies. Unique night events are also possible! We finally added an options menu to the title screen! :D Several new items have been added! Pedestrians have more possible responses and interactions! More night events have been added
Less scrap is found on the street by default Crime level now increases even more when caught by police and you already have a moderate crime level Rental price greatly reduced from 200 to 150 Various perks which are OP to obtain as your first perk in the early game, now only appear as a possible perk choice after already obtaining a couple perks in that category (Looking at you, recycler perk...). Slightly decreased base chances of being mugged "Alert" perk is more effective Slightly increased base cash earned from busking "Beguiler" perk now also slightly increases cash gained from choice interactions with pedestrians You no longer get change from sleeping on a bench if you do it for less than an hour "Charm" perk changed, it no longer affects job success. Now, pedestrians may give you better items...
Fixed sometimes not being able to pick up scrap when you should be able to Fixed clicks going through the "start bonus" popup Fixed shop "Buy" button getting stuck as reading "EXCHANGE" after using food stamps Updated Malady menu a bit Fixed various issues with Park and various areas staying on screen after leaving Fixed various issues with the perk UI, scrolling fixed! Fixed a case where a food vendor would have a graphical glitch on their sign Clothing vendors no longer generate at the start of the day if you already own all clothing items (But food vendors appear slightly more often) Fixed deposits in bank being reset when you lose residency Fixed bench change popup text showing incorrect amounts Improved music volume fading Fixed that last window in the opening sequence not being quite in time with the music New Maladies added are now shown at the top of the Malady menu Menu music no longer fades out on the character select screen Fixed clinics always stocking the same item Fixed losing residency after spending just one day away from resident shelter sometimes Fixed needing to close the trade popup after trading in order to trade again Fixed getting multiple late for work warnings at once which could get you fired Fixed "EXCHANGE" button in shops being formatted incorrectly Fixed clicks going though popups when interacting with other homeless Fixed the park UI staying on screen and causing issues if the day ends while in the park. Fixed some cases where sfx sounds would play on game load Updated various loading screen tip texts Fixed some cases where clicks on the night event UI wouldn't register for a second or so. Rats are now more visible in the streets Fixed certain settings not carrying through when switching between the main menu and the game Add some new tooltips to various UI elements "New Clothes" name changed to "Shirt" Pedestrians no longer tell you "You stink" when you have good hygiene Fixed "Tolerated" perk not always working as it should

- CHANGE: A Homeless Survival Experience Linux Depot [593.27 M]
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.
