CHANGE has one of the most thoughfull gameplays I have ever seen in any other videogames, and it manages to achieve that by placing us in one of the most difficult situations in all of mankind: Homelesness You could argue that it lacks with a bit of realism when it comes to the actual conditions of homeless people in real life, however this is still a videogame, sacrifices had to be made in order to make it more bearable. However, what truly struck me was that this was all based in the real world. There are hundreds of thousands of homeless people all around the world, and we get to see them every single day, struggling to escape hunger, thirst, addictions and so on. And honestly ? The ending sucks. It could have been better written, however we should remind ourselves that this was all made with a limited budged. And although repetitive, each and every playthrough feels just as miserable as the last one, you can't help but sympathise with your character at some point. With all of that said, I recommend this game for it's insights on homeless life, it really makes you think what they have live through every single day, and what is your role in that. I can confidently say that I have evolved as a person after playing this game, and I advise you to do the same. Remember: Your goal will always be to avoid the streets, however you are an exception amongst many... The majority of homeless people won't have the same luck...

I came into this game expecting that it was a company with 100 games trying to profit from an unoccupied niche in the rogue-like genre. After all, there are so many copycat games that rogue-like players are desperate for something new. I was wrong, and I am writing this for anyone who shares this sentiment. The metaphor is deadpan, the ambience is lonely, and the scenes are enlightening. Thank you, developers, I highly recommend your game's narrative! After losing multiple runs, succeeding to "win the game" and then trying another run after, I can say that this game has little to no replay value as it stands. This was surprising for a game within the "roguelike" genre, but here's my thinking: - you can play the game with the same tactics regardless of the items you come across. - With there being an obvious best tactic to acquire money, it reduces the players curiosity and desire to experiment. - The perk tree has "always best" options, and leave little variation for playstyle. - If I'm trying to do Money-gathering method A, I'll always pick perk 1, 2, 3, etc. HOWEVER, I'll reiterate that the game has an incredible "play" value that shouldn't be forgotten for anyone looking for a glimpse into the topic at hand. Play Disco Elysium next if you can stomach the dialogue. Disclaimer: I waited over a year to get this game on sale for roughly $4

The best game around about the lives of homeless people. Poverty, frusturation, despair, humiliation, mistreatment a homeless typically faces are artfully & near-realistically portrayed. Can't say perfectly complete in handling every detail and the complex dynamics at play of the issue but I can say this game very well conveys the feelings one will experience once they lose EVERYTHING. Through this expression the game aims to build and raise emphaty & awareness, a noble purpose indeed. Definitely recommend those somehow interested in the issue. As a side note: grasping the mechanics require multiple runs (sadly in real life, by the way, every person in that situation has only that run).

Being homeless is a very interesting setting to play in. So far I have finished one playthrough, which was quite a ride until I managed to escape from homelessness. Getting money and surviving the harsh conditions on the streets felt like a real challenge. Securing a good spot for shelter, food, education, and jobs is one of the most important things to get early. Having everything close is a game changer here. Grabbing useful items from the shops makes it easier to survive during the game. Since I finished one playthrough, I was wondering if the different backgrounds somehow affect the survival, but I can't see that there is any difference. I started a new story with mental illness and nothing changed, just the character I played as. That feels a bit disappointing to not have any other circumstances that make it harder in some way. Once in a while I encounter an annoying bug that keeps me stuck after finishing a study session. I will most likely try to finish the game and get the true ending unlocked because I am curious. Still enjoying it, but I wish that there were differences between the backgrounds. We think this scenario of being homeless is far away, but in reality, it is never far away and everyone could be affected.

This game is not easy, but neither is being homeless. I have gone through it in real life and wanted to try this game because of the work put into it. it is 100% worth it and the struggle is as well 10/10
