About this Game

Mercantisle is living world village simulator, where the NPCs (both in your village and in their neighbouring NPC-run villages) lead their own lives. Your villagers all try to make a living for themselves, and neighbouring villages grow and trade over time. You live among them, adapting to their needs and the opportunities which they make available.

Set on a chain of islands where you and your fellow villagers have fled from the oppressive monarchy, you play as one citizen amongst many. You start by harvesting basic resources from the land, setting up a shop, and selling your wares to your neighbours for profit. Grow your brand, employ your neighbours, and become a profiteer with the power to better (or ruin) everyone’s lives with the price of your services and dominating the market.

Key Features

• In-depth Market Simulation.

• Independent NPCS

• Gather, craft, buy, and sell to build your village.

• Experiment with both real and fantastical economics.

• Explore weird and wonderful archipelagos.

• Help (or hinder) your fellow islanders.

• First amongst equals. Your fellow NPC villagers and NPC-run neighbouring villages will develop on their own, but could use your help from time to time if you want to build a utopia in these strange lands

• Pick a career. Choose from a wide selection of professions! Will you be a blacksmith? Farmer? Or even an arms dealer?

• Experience an in-depth market simulator. An economy driven by NPC trading, supply, and demand. Manipulate your environment (and your fellow villagers) to shape the financial ecosystem.

• Make use of fantastical materials and businesses.  Bottle up the air to sell as a luxury product. Make juice from a quadrupedal carrot. Made a necklace from the flower of an eyeball tree. An inventive business owner has plenty of opportunities!

• Experiment with economics. Use these strange islands to try out fantastical versions of real-life economics. Set taxes, markups, universal basic income and more. Try out Alchemical Intelligence, a magical machine that takes away the need to work. What will such an invention do to your economy, and how will you manage it?

• Cooperate or compete with your fellow villagers. You're one citizen amongst many. NPCs lead their own lives, make their own decisions and build their own buildings.

• Graphs! Watch that line go up!

• Weird islands abound. Strange creatures roam these lands – antelope made of carrot, giant blueberry snails, bees made of banana and more. Colossus plants tower over the landscape, and magical mysteries can be found on every island. What will you do with these resources?

• Not all islands are built equal. Many different islands exist, each with their own unique challenges and opportunities. What will magic, danger, and temperature do to the economy?

• A living world. Other settlements exist in this world that will develop on their own. If you trade with them and bring them what they need they can grow on their own, and can often be a source of useful goods for your own village.

• Beware. Hunger, boredom, injuries, and loneliness lurk in these isles. Help your fellow citizens, or monopolise food, medicine, and entertainment. There are always ways to profit from their misery!

• Become a local hero. Look out for your fellow islanders. Spend some time and money on festivals to keep people happy, charity to help the poor, and investments to keep the economy ticking along. Helping a struggling villager set up a bakery can lead to great things for them, and great things for your village. Help them grow from struggling to afford food to becoming the heart of your village's exports of baked goods.

• The Evil path. If you're feeling villainous, you could always sell more with a bit of creativity. Encouraging dangerous insects onto the island would do wonders for weapon sales. Strip mining a rival village dry would leave them with no choice but to buy stone from you. Or use your patented Air Bottler to charge your neighbours for the privilege of breathing!
