Press Kit

Description

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.

Features

• Magic-Focused Economy: Items gain value not through attack/defense points, but through Rarity, Condition, and unique Enchantments.
• Tactical Bargaining System: Manage NPC patience with upgradeable skills and get the best price.
• Dynamic Adventurer Management: Train persistent adventurers who gain different benefits from items based on their classes (Fire Mage, Paladin, etc.) and prepare them for quests.
• Expanding World and Reputation: Use your earned gold and “Fame” to buy new shops and maintain good relations with different factions (Thieves' Guild, Church of Light).
• Living World Events: Festivals, crises, and weather changes, delivered through a dynamic calendar system, instantly affect market demand.
• Risky Trade: Go to the Church to cleanse cursed items, or take a risk and sell them on the Black Market; but try not to get caught by the guards!
