What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We're launching in Early Access because we believe player feedback is essential to shaping the final experience. While the core gameplay is already in place—including shopkeeping, expeditions, and minigames—we want to refine and expand key systems based on how the community plays.

Our goals for Early Access include improving Steam Deck support, adding new dynamic enemy behaviors during expeditions, refining the UI/UX and controls, and introducing additional Quality of Life features such as accessibility options, better tutorialization, and visual polish.

We’re fully committed to supporting Soukh through to 1.0 and beyond. Early Access will allow us to work closely with the community to make sure every feature—from new regions to balancing systems—is shaped with players in mind.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“1 to 3 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to polish the expedition system, add a few more assets and hopefully flesh out some of the minigames to make them more challenging and fun! We also plan to provide regular bug-fixes, and deliver a polished experience in the future.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“This is a fully playable build used to gather player feedback and guide ongoing development, Every feature listed on the store page is currently implemented.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“No.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We plan to listen to any feedback from the community to improve game balance, and any quality of life updates. Feedback will be taken from game reviews and comments, and through our discord community!”

About This Game

You were once an upcoming star of the lucrative Bazhi Empire until the organization you worked for turned on you and sent you on exile. Now, you’re back where it all started: a crumbling village at the edge of the desert, your hometown. But a merchant with nothing to lose only has everything to gain.

Soukh is a vibrant blend of shop management, light strategy, and quirky minigames, all set in a world inspired by the rich aesthetics of Middle Eastern and Asian cultures.

The Art of the Hustle

Forget "set it and forget it" pricing. In a real Soukh, the price is whatever you can talk the customer into paying.

Simulating Soukhs in real life, you have to approach the customer instead of standing behind a cash counter, letting you engage with the customers in real time!

Active Haggling: Engage in fast-paced minigames to charm, pressure, or out-negotiate your customers.
Crowd Control: Manage a chaotic market filled with impatient shoppers, silver-tongued rivals, and the occasional thief looking for a freebie.
Market Mastery: Keep your shelves stocked and your eyes on the trends, or risk being left with a warehouse full of worthless stock.

Lead the Caravan

The riches of Lazaran won't come to you, you need allies to help you procure the best of the best.

Build Your Team: Recruit and upgrade a roster of Adventurers and Townsfolk. Promote them to Advanced Classes to survive the harsher corners of the world.
Interactive Expeditions: Don't just watch a progress bar. Assist your team through unique challenges and skill-based minigames to secure legendary loot! (and maybe a few "stolen" goods).

Your gold doesn't just sit in a chest. Use your profits to breathe life back into your hometown.

Village Evolution: Watch your tiny, deserted village transform into a bustling trade hub as you unlock new buildings and attract colorful allies.
Hand-Crafted Beauty: Lose yourself in a world of stunning, hand-drawn visuals and a cast of dozens of unique, grumpy, and hilarious characters.

Key Features

High-Energy Management: A shop-keeping experience where your reflexes are as important as your math.
Deep Progression: Upgrade your shop, your town, and your caravan roster.
Skill-Based Selling: Use minigames to maximize profit on every single item.
A Rich Narrative: Follow the Merchant's journey from disgraced exile to the King of the Bazaar.
