Our take on CHANGE: A Homeless Survival Experience
The pressure point is the daily allocation system: each day offers more possible needs and activities than can be handled at once. Players who want to address every problem before moving on may find the trade-offs frustrating, and night events can end a run after those choices.
What is CHANGE: A Homeless Survival Experience?
CHANGE is a survival game set in a randomly generated city, where each run follows one of five characters with a different background and personal challenges.
Players manage needs such as hunger, hygiene, happiness, crime levels, reputation, and study while choosing how to spend each day. Activities include begging, looking for shelter, visiting places such as clinics and libraries, and collecting food, clothing, and survival tools. Encounters with other people can lead to companions, friendships, or changes in reputation.
Night events and dangerous streets can threaten a run, with winter adding further danger. Perks, items, events, and areas provide new possibilities across playthroughs. The game includes hundreds of perks, items, and events, and some collected items can be unlocked for later runs.
