Change

Change is a narrative game about growth, told from the perspectives of two protagonists: Le Yang, a young woman struggling to find her future after moving to Shanghai alone, and an idol producer at a startup on the verge of bankruptcy.

The story follows Le Yang as she tries to become an idol after failing to make a living in Shanghai. Though it has visual-novel-style gameplay and an idol-themed plot, it is not a romance and does not contain shocking or emotionally harrowing scenes. Some of its jokes draw on the development team’s experiences working at internet startups.

Story and setting

The game uses photographs taken in real Shanghai locations as its backgrounds, placing illustrated characters in those settings through adjusted lighting. It takes about 1–2 hours to play and has one ending.
