I Have No Change is a first-person story game about Matvey, a 27-year-old kiosk worker spending the nights before New Year’s Eve behind a small service window. The setting is limited, but the game uses this narrow space to show different parts of Matvey’s life and the people around him. Customers arrive one by one, bringing ordinary requests, personal stories, complaints, memories, and small pieces of local life. Through these encounters, the player learns why the kiosk has become more than just a workplace.

I Have No Change is a first-person story game about Matvey, a 27-year-old kiosk worker spending the nights before New Year’s Eve behind a small service window. The setting is limited, but the game uses this narrow space to show different parts of Matvey’s life and the people around him. Customers arrive one by one, bringing ordinary requests, personal stories, complaints, memories, and small pieces of local life. Through these encounters, the player learns why the kiosk has become more than just a workplace.

Life Behind the Window

The gameplay is based on listening, observing, and moving through a sequence of conversations. Players do not explore large locations or complete action-based tasks. Instead, they remain inside the kiosk and interact with visitors who appear during Matvey’s shift. Each customer adds something to the atmosphere of the night, whether it is a routine purchase, a strange remark, or a story about problems happening somewhere nearby.

A Small Place With Many Stories

I Have No Change focuses on narrative progression rather than traditional levels. The game moves forward as the night continues and new people approach the kiosk. Matvey’s thoughts become more important as he begins to question his choices, his work, and the direction of his life.

The game includes several main elements:

  •         First-person perspective
  •         Winter night setting
  •         Kiosk-based gameplay
  •         Dialogue with different customers
  •         Realistic character performances
  •         Story about routine and change
  •         Atmospheric music
  •         Narrative-driven structure

Matvey’s Inner Conflict

The story is not built around saving the world or solving a crime. It is about a person who feels stuck and begins to understand that his life may not match what he once expected. The holiday period makes these thoughts stronger, because the world outside is preparing for celebration while Matvey remains alone at work.

How the Experience Works

To play I Have No Change, the player follows Matvey’s shift, responds to visitors, and pays attention to the conversations and details around the kiosk. There are no complex mechanics, combat systems, or separate stages. Progress comes from experiencing the night, meeting different people, and gradually understanding the emotional weight behind Matvey’s questions. The game presents an everyday situation as a personal story about stagnation, memory, and the possibility of change.
