Got it for sale for 5$ and finished my first run in 1.5 hours. I enjoyed my first run and will play many more. Great game!

Fun game, but lacking a key feature in the form of being able to track down the guy who stole my guitar and feed him to the rats.

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.

If we set aside the subject matter for a moment, and focus only on Change as a survival game with some rogue like elements, it's thoroughly entertaining. I was hooked immediately and had to keep restarting my run because it was really tough at first! That's the point of course... it's supposed to be difficult and unfair and frustrating because I imagine that's the experience of a homeless person. I have no personal experience with homelessness but having played this game for 20+ hours, I think that if I was to meet any in real life I would be far more likely to actually stop and help if I could. I just feel more aware of their plight. The story that is woven into the game really adds to the overall feel if you take the time to read it. You can tell this game is a real labour of love and it absolutely won my heart, So the game itself is fairly simple and can get a little bit repetitive but there are many ways to play and different scenarios to start off with. I played through about 4 times (after a few abandoned runs!) and I'm not done. Frequent perks and unlocks keep you coming back for one more run...I still have much that I haven't explored. The pixel graphics for the city street were very well done, some of the animations were a little janky and I found the the ending sequence to be a bit jarring as it was very different and frankly, just a bit odd. There were a few minor bugs in places but nothing game breaking. Overall, an awesome and moving game, well worth your time.

This game is a session of negative visualization, the kind the Stoics were fond of talking about. It forces you to imagine what it would be like if, one day, everything you usually take for granted suddenly vanished: a roof over your head, food, safety, even a sense of basic human dignity. It is not about fighting monsters or villains. It is about far more terrifying enemies: indifference, hunger, cold, illness, depression, and addiction. It is about falling all the way to the bottom of society, where you feel with painful clarity just how little the world cares whether you live or die. Here, you beg for spare change outside a shop, fight rats for food, and catch yourself thinking that a warm prison cell after stealing something might not be the worst possible outcome, because WINTER IS COMING. After playing it, it becomes much harder to see homelessness as an abstraction, and your own daily comfort as something natural and guaranteed. A harsh, cruel, deeply necessary game.
