Changed is a 2018 two-dimensional survival puzzle adventure game run on the RPG Maker engine created by Chinese furry and video game developer DragonSnow and published on the Steam Marketplace on 4 April 2018.[1][2] The game revolves around the player character, known as "Colin", navigating a derelict laboratory complex populated with anthropomorphic "latex" creatures. It is largely responsible for codifying the "transfur" subgenre.

A special edition of the game (sometimes referred to as Changed-Special) is currently under development, while a demo is downloadable for free for those who own the original game.[3]

Story and gameplay

edit

The game revolves around the player character, Colin. In the beginning of the game, the player awakens from cryostasis in an abandoned research lab owned by the ficticious Thunder Science Corporation. In the first room, the player sees a white latex blob described as "living milk pudding". After completing a puzzle in the second room, the player encounters the first "latex" creature, known as the "White Knight", who chases the player into the third room, where the player encounters the "Ming Cat", which the player must evade to prevent transformation.

Eventually, after solving a series of puzzles (and evading transformation along the way), the player will encounter the most notable character of the game, a "dark latex" creature known as Puro who serves as the game's deuteragonist. Puro's relationship with the player plays a part in determining which ending the player gets.

Towards the end of the game, it is revealed that the "latex" creatures were created because of a global pandemic caused by the Pale Virus, a highly-transmissible virus that causes sickle-cell disease in its host, leading to a 100% fatality rate; the creatures were an attempt to cure the disease by radically altering the human genome in a way that would make people immune to it.

The base game has five endings, including one where the player is assimilated by Puro, one where the player is experimented on by a different latex creature named Dr. K, and one where both the player and Puro leave the facility.[1]

Release

edit

The game was released on Steam on 4 April 2018.[1] Its OST is available as a stand-alone purchase, or as part of a bundle including the game itself.[4][5]

Reception

edit

As of June 2025, Changed is rated "Very Positive" on Steam, is rated 8/10 in IMDb, and is rated 7/10 by IGN readers, with users praising the game's story and puzzle elements, but criticizing the game's difficulty and reliance on fetish elements. As of June 2026, the game holds a 7.9 user score on Metacritic, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.[1][6][7][8] It has also become the subject of controversy due to issues mainly involving minors.

Controversies

Clones and inspired games

edit

As previously mentioned, Changed has effectively codified the "transfur" subgenre, a subset of the transformation fetish genre. As a result, games copying or inspired by Changed began appearing on online video game platforms, most notably Roblox, often with little or no age restriction. One such game on Roblox, known as Kaiju Paradise, has amassed 278.6 million visits and over 643 thousand favorites on the platform as of mid-July 2025.[9][10] Another game on Roblox, named Project Transfur, has amassed over 13 million lifetime visits as of 2025.[11]
