The Gender Update
Gender selection added! Along with many new features and story elements surrounding it including a new item, new shelter type and night events. Oh, and you can play as trans or non-binary. "Suit" pedestrians added. These are slightly more uncommon pedestrians that carry slightly more cash on average. Even more night events! (Not just the new gender based ones)
Police will now rarely be kind instead of just following orders Increased mugging chance when using shelters Very slightly reduced walk speed Slightly increased time it takes to get mid level perks Slightly reduced number of shelters (Certain other buildings are now more common), this may affect your save data if you had residency! Increased chances of pests in the night based on how much food you're carrying Injuries are more severe
Fixed study button remaining on screen in Library when the library is closed Fixed police scolding you for begging when performing a different action that they would scold you for, such as breaking into cars or searching trash if the police city level is high enough Fixed a bug where certain events would say you lost an item, and it'd stil be in your inventory Fixed size up icon showing over pedestrians before you hover over them Fixed your new job not always being saved properly if you move areas or leave the game the same day you get it Fixed clinic displaying the cure price incorrectly so it looked like you had enough and couldn't buy it Fixed library book effect icon being tiny Fixed issues occurring with the stat icons if you have several stats icons active Fixed matches being infinite... my bad. Fixed a crash/freeze or other strange behaviour after an event where you lose food Fixed various bugs with the new dialogue options Fixed the police warning stat icon going mad Fixed being able to use the Novel item just before night Fixed not being warmed if you were sent to a shelter in the night after sleeping outside

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.
