About This Game

EARLY ACCESS: Current Patch:

  • Regular Patch 030 (8.4.2025)

  • Beta Patch 030 (8.4.2025)

    For any questions feel free to ask in Discord!

The Tutorial is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED even if having played the demo (now removed due to age) as there are differences. 

A Merchant's Promise features No Inventory & Physics-based Inspired gameplay. You are in full control of the item you handle from the time you pick them up until you put them down...or throw them.

Your Merchant Status is everything and will determine how easily you can adjust your prices to make the most profit. There is also a Permanent Death option for those that like more risk.

Starting as a lowly Merchant you can eventually earn your way to a King's Merchant through trading as you experience:

  • Item Loss

  • Weather

  • Light survival elements (hunger, thirst, health, and stamina)

A Merchant's Promise will not micro-manage you:

  • Limited Menus and UI's as possible...and still trying to be reduced.

  • No "Objectives" or "Tasks" will pop up telling you what to do and how to do it.

  • You must Explore, Talk, Read, and Interact with things to learn about the world you play in.

...did I mention the Main Game Tutorial is strongly encouraged?

This game receives regular updates and is worked on Full Time (+)

Priorities of Continued EA Development:

  • The Game World - I am working hard to bring more elements of "life" and "depth" into the game as current features are also tested by those of you that play the Beta Version.

  • Consistent & Reliable gameplay - Physics games are quirky and a lot of adjustments are always being made

  • Performance - No one wants a 47GB game download that gets 12FPS.

  • Gets the bugs out - I handle these through the Discord Reporting (Link on Store Page or In Game) as soon as possible with a ticket system so you can stay up-to-date on your issue's progress.

Thank you for taking the time to visit and I look forward to providing you with a great product and fun challenge!

It's alright. A bit too buggy for me to recommend right now, but not bad enough for me to not. Probably a better idea to wait for a few more bugfixes.

It is a bit of a bare bones game at the moment but very engaging and fun to play with. I recommend joining the discord as there is a plethera of information on there and the developer responds to people very quickly. He takes questions and requests. Community is tight too and lots of people like to help out. The game is fairly cheap so it's defiantly worth the early access to play around with an actively developing game.

I have my trusty cart and the road ahead with customers waiting at the end of it. What more can I ask for? Honestly I really enjoy this game and I can put so many hours into it on one sitting. Excited for continuous improvements and additions to the game.

I love the concept of the game, but the physics make it unplayable. I had to reset 3 times in 5 hours and I cannot do it mentally anymore. The first one needed to be reset because the cart spawned with no wheels and could not be added after. The second reset was because the cart fell through the map and was gone forever. The third was because all of my items broke because a crate fused with the cart and flipped it making everything go flying and break. I just cant do it anymore

Great potential for this game, maybe not worth 10 dollars as of now but if it continues to get content updates and fixes it will be. For now there isn't too much to do but the game itself is beautiful
