About Starving Merchant

All the kids wanted to become a dragon slayer, or a powerful wizard, or a mysterious rogue. You? You want one thing only: to make the most money possible.

Buy Low, Sell High

Buy goods from merchants in town, stock your shelves, and haggle with customers. Whether for profit, or to attract customers with an amazing deal, the right items are essential.

A World in Constant Chaos

The economy lives and breathes (and catches fire). A magical farm surplus could eradicate your margins, whereas a dragon attack could send your profits through the roof.

Commune With Outer Beings

When the economy fails, there’s always divine intervention. Beseech ancient entities for sharper haggling, hypnotic auras, or a well-timed crop failure, since when has profit cared about morals?

Dynamic economy

Adventurers rise and fall, apprentices quit, and rogues turn over a new leaf; the demand for goods is ever-changing. Adapt fast and diversify, or think ahead and have all you need.

Meet the Community

From eccentric heroes, mysterious witches, and those ever-present tax collectors, all sorts of strange characters wander into your store, each with their own stories.

Expand Your Store

Start with a humble shop, and expand into an emporium. Build new displays for your increasing collection, and when the time is right, move to a bigger, shinier money-making place.

About 7 hours in, past 80 days on normal difficulty, over 100K balance, I think I'm kinda done with the game. You're a merchant in a fantasy world, buy stuff on the market then resell them at your shop. Haggle with customers on the final price. Make enough money to pay your debt every 10th day. After upgrades and having more displays, you'll get into the groove of things and making a profit will be easier (thankful of the RNG of the Bob's Box (mystery box), got a few good stuff). No narrative/story to speak off. New game, got some text in the beginning, then off you go (with tutorial). Not unusual for store simulators but I'm a narrative driven player, at some point I'm like welp I think I played enough. I don't really pay attention to the news or the economy, but does it actually affect prices? Yeah, decided to read the news one day, like some mage guild bankruptcy, causing a lot of financial products to go down. As long you don't sell a lot of stuff at a loss, everything will be a-okay. I wouldn't say the game is bare bones, but it felt minimal if you're looking at other shop management games. Besides your debt, there's no other objectives, side quests, or exploration. "Abo…

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
