CHANGE: A Homeless Survival Experience

CHANGE is an emotional homeless survival experience set in a randomly generated city with rogue-like elements. Explore, survive, earn perks, find items and kindness 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. This is a hate letter to the growing indifference in the world. When members of the development team almost fell into homelessness some years ago, it inspired us to create something that gives a voice to the forgotten and the vulnerable. After almost 5 years of research and hard work, 100s of updates and fan support, we bring you our tale of survival and isolation. FEATURES One of the largest perk systems ever made, with over 130 unique perks gained by experimenting with different methods of survival Explore an endless city that's different every time you play Choose from 5 different characters each with their own background stories and maladies, then create your own story 100's of well written "night events" lets you develop your own abstract tale, using a novel system that changes your story depending on how you choose to play Find companions and find kindness.

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 game is different, and with each playthrough comes more ways to explore CHANGE. If you became homeless... what would you do?
