A lot of gamers don't have a lot of knowledge of anything in the socio-economic sphere. This should be a must-play for everyone, just for the concept and how the devs created a system of pressures and failures. As someone who has been homeless before, obviously this game doesn't really encapsulate what that experience truly looks like. However, I could definitely see it opening eyes for people, or at the very least, have their thoughts churning over what Homelessness can be. The art, color palate, and themes changing based upon your happiness and the seasons is a nice touch. I appreciated the 2D stylings for a game like this. It allows the game to go from gritty to bright and everything in between at ease. From a gameplay perspective: the roguelike systems are very basic and there are only a couple true ways to go about "beating the game". There aren't too many randomized events in general; everything is pretty streamlined. That isn't really how you should think about this game though, but I wanted to include it for the sake of reviews. The gameplay is sufficient enough to at least play a few times. I'm writing this after two full runs, where I died from suicide due to a lack of happiness, and the second run where I successfully became not homeless. There is some replayability with different character archetypes and NG+ adding layers of difficulties that will get you closer to the pressures of actually being homeless in real life. My favorite systems were how the city, the people around you, and police actively adapted against you, as a homeless person. This is easily the most accurate system in the game by far. Other reviewers are correct in that there are some bugs and inadequacies in terms of ui/ux deployment, but it doesn't ruin the gameplay loop. Small inconveniences. Overall, this is a must play. Gamers, open your mind and eyes to a sect of reality that is often purposely forgotten and ignored. Excited to see what Delve Interactive will be coming up with next.

Ive liked this game over the years, as you can tell with the amount of hours played. It gets pretty repetitive at times. I'm terrible at busking, but the perks help so much. Tips: find a shelter with a library/job/bathroom nearby that isn't poorly funded as sometimes those will close down. THEN GET RESIDENCY. getting shelter residency helps so much in getting your first job. Technically you can get one just with the job help boost offered in libraries or shelters, but that is not super common.

First of all, it needs to be pointed out that what Delve Interactive achieved with CHANGE: A Homeless Survival Experience was incredibly brave and absolutely honorable, and it deserves a great deal of respect. They made a conscious decision to create a game that, considering the reality of the games market and the fact that socially and politically charged, uncomfortable and sad topics like these are far from being easy sellers, still delivers an immensely important human value, one that is far too rarely appreciated in a truly appropriate way. So this goes out to Danny Hayes, thank you for your commitment and for making such a necessary statement with the game. I’m often ashamed to be part of the human race but people like you make it a little easier to endure. Also very worthy of respect is how openly and in such detail the background and development story of the game has been shared publicly. That said, this is where I need to talk about the ups and downs of the game itself. As someone with a wide range of interests who, besides music and art, is deeply engaged with societal topics, I simply can’t help but play games like this from time to time, and it would be very desirable if many others would also open up to something like this instead of always looking for shallow entertainment. Beneath the hood of this pixel-art roguelike survival game, lies a machine full of challenges that demand real strategic thinking from the player. Almost every step is shaped by constant uncertainty, with random events that can spiral into seriously harsh consequences. It’s not just the atmosphere that feels on point, even the core mechanics are part of the storytelling, and the overall presentation comes across as authentic and fairly close to reality. Sadly a streak of bad random events can hit you pretty often, forcing you to restart runs and repeat the same tasks over and over again. On top of that, there are quite a few pesky bugs, like items disappearing, events not triggering or breaking halfway through and occasional UI issues. There are also a few things in the game I personally would have liked to see handled differently, or that I can only tolerate to a certain extent. A shelter that offers nothing but a shower instead of a meal, for example, really shouldn’t exist in a game like this. The fact that food at a shelter sometimes only gives you five points is just nonsense. And I’m not even going to get started on the guitar mini-game, that could have been genuinely cool if done right. Nevertheless, the game is still worth recommending, especially since part of the revenue is donated to charitable organizations.

Gem of a game. Genuinely strikes the balance of challenging, playable, and enjoyable. Early game is hardest, when you're still strategizing where to be and finding your grind. There was more depth than I was expecting. Good for curing phobias and, not to put too fine a point on it, sympathizing.
