Tales of the Trade

About the Game

In Tales of Trade, you are much more than just a shop owner. You manage an economy in a fantastical world where the power of items comes not from the sharpness of a sword, but from the ancient spells imbued within them.

Use your psychological skills (Sweet Talk, Pressure, Deceive) while bargaining with customers in real time, expand your influence by moving your shop to different cities, and equip persistent adventurers with the most suitable magical items to send them on guild quests.

But be careful; not everything that glitters is gold. Illusions, cursed items, and the dark side of the black market can endanger your reputation and gold at any moment.
