About CHANGE: A Homeless Survival Experience

✦ AI summary

CHANGE: A Homeless Survival Experience puts you on the streets managing hunger, hygiene, and reputation while navigating a randomly generated city with rogue-like progression, hundreds of unlockable items and perks, and meaningful choices that shape your character's story. This deeply researched survival game tackles homelessness with empathy and authenticity, featuring procedurally generated encounters based on real interviews and stories, with 20% of profits donated to homelessness charities.

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.

With hundreds of perks, items, events and more, this serious game comes with a large amount of depth that opens up the more you play, and changes based on how you play.

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. We take the subject very seriously and portray it as such.

After over 7 years of research and hard work, 100s of updates and fan support, we bring you our tale of survival and isolation.
  • Choose from 5 different characters each with their own background stories and maladies, then create your own story
  • Find companions and find kindness. Build a reputation or even friendships with various characters including the other homeless and the police
  • Build your inventory with food, survival tools, clothing and more... as well as unlocking new items for your next playthrough as you progress
  • Spend a night in police stations, parks or shelters, spend time at bars, visit the clinic, study in the library, recycle scrap and more as you discover new areas and buildings
  • Learn about the lives of the homeless and everything they go through to survive, with every part of the truth having been heavily researched by the developers.
  • Experience a beautifully composed emotional soundtrack



    I spent a long time talking to people on the streets and those who've experienced sleeping rough to listen to their stories, many of which are included in the game as "night events". This game was made with the vision of getting homelessness and it's difficulties across through a game that's engaging and empathetic.



    We also spent time delving into and cross referencing a ton of literature on homelessness provided publicly by various charity, journalistic and government institutions.


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 game is different, and with each playthrough comes more ways to explore CHANGE.

If you became homeless... what would you do?

PLANS

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.

So far, we've raised over £7000 for the charities CRISIS, The Clocktower Sanctuary and Shelter.

✦ AI summary

CHANGE: A Homeless Survival Experience presents a touching survival game with a compelling core loop that explores homelessness in a meaningful way, with players praising its emotional impact and unlockable progression system that encourages replays across multiple characters and difficulty modes. However, the game suffers from being unpolished with notable bugs and shallow mechanics that create repetitiveness, though players still find enough variety in gameplay and content to justify playing through multiple runs. Players generally recommend it, particularly once it goes on sale.

This game is excellent. Wonderful design that makes me experience the character fully. At one point I thought to myself, "I'm never going to get out of homelessness. I can't win." Very realistic gameplay that made me consider the real life consequences of being homeless.

Great game, in good taste too which I feel is important for the subject matter. This could easily become a bit of a caricature of homeless life but it's gritty and real and feels like it's making a statement. Definitely worth a play.

Actually, this game made me think about how unbearably hard it can be for homeless people. Very addictive and it makes you appreciate a few cents found in a payphone

This game is lifechanging. I know it sounds bold to say, but it really is. As a person who never had to worry about homelessness this game has made a huge impact on me. It is a really realistic game in my opinion. Often i found it really hard. Hard to survive, hard to earn money, hard to keep the hapiness levels up. I wondered "is it really that hard?" then i remembered that yes, it is. This is a really realistic game that helps you get into the position of a person who has fallen into the sitution of living in the streets. I love how i could relate. Every aspect of the game allowed me to think about these people who are on the street right now. I wish i could show this game to anyone who thinks that it is that easy to just bounce back. People dont realized how blessed they are sometimes. I am so glad i could put myself in that position to think about someone who is really struggling right now. For this reason i really love this game. I wish i could give it to anyone who looks down at these people, maybe it would make them more human...

is it change- as in extra money? or is it change, to make a difference?
