Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We have chosen Early Access because the core appeal of "Arcane Shore" lies in its vibrant, systemic economic simulation. Currently, we have built a stable and playable core framework. However, its long-term appeal and depth need validation through real community interaction. We aim to co-create the future of this world with our players through Early Access. Your feedback will directly guide our development priorities and help shape the final vision of the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We tentatively plan for an Early Access period of 6 to 12 months. This time will primarily focus on:
1. Iterating and balancing the complex systemic mechanics;
2. Fleshing out a more vivid world;
3. Evaluating and prioritizing new content with high player demand (e.g., new exploration areas or crafting branches).”

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

“In the full version, we envision a more content-rich, deeply interconnected, and reactively alive fantasy town. The current version offers a solid core gameplay loop. Based on feedback during Early Access, we plan to explore features such as a more complex employee system, new world events that trigger chain reactions, and more intelligent customer behaviors. Our goal is for every player's shop to tell a truly unique story.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version features a complete and engaging core gameplay loop: you can source goods through multiple channels, price and sell items, manage debt, upgrade your shop, and unlock basic crafting and decoration. The main storyline and explorable areas are in place, allowing you to experience the game's core fun. However, this is a world waiting to be enriched: the full utility of many items, the breadth of crafting paths, event variety, dynamic dialogue, and long-term goals are areas we look forward to exploring and building alongside the community.”

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

“Yes, we plan to increase the price appropriately when the game leaves Early Access and launches as a full release to reflect the significantly increased content and final polish. All players who purchase the game during Early Access will automatically receive all subsequent updates and the full version for free, as a thank you for your early trust and support.”

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

“1. Steam Community Hub: Our primary channel for collecting bug reports, suggestions, and discussions.
2. Regular Development Updates: We will share development logs, future plans, and respond to popular feedback via announcements.
3. Feedback Surveys & Polls: For key new features or content directions, we may initiate votes to let the community help guide decisions.”

About This Game

Game Description

You have inherited your family’s general store — but it’s nothing like the warm, peaceful place you remember. Due to a mysterious frame‑up, the shop is buried in heavy debt. Now, as its new owner, you must use your wits and strategy to bring the business back to life within a limited number of days.

Every day is filled with choices: rely on mysterious treasure chests? Hunt for bargains from random traveling merchants? Or send your employees out to explore? Alongside these decisions, you’ll manage inventory, set prices, arrange displays, fulfill orders, and even craft more valuable goods by hand.

Between day and night, you’ll run the shop, renovate and expand, meet quirky customers and staff, and gradually unlock deeper crafting systems like alchemy, engineering, and weapon forging. But beware — random events will constantly disrupt the market and your plans, while the daily debt repayment always hangs over your head.

This is a journey from the brink of bankruptcy to a legendary store. Every decision you make shapes a different future.

Game Features

🛒 Deep Management & Growth System – Your Shop, Your Way

  • Multiple supply sources: mysterious chests, wandering merchants, and loot crates. Build farm plots, recycling carts, send employees to explore — or even venture to the forest’s edge at night to fend off monsters for rare materials.

  • Pricing & supply/demand: All items have a base market value, but you can freely adjust selling prices, dynamically affecting sales probability. A specialization system increases base prices for categories you trade in most.

  • Crafting & production: Gradually unlock six synthesis lines — food, alchemy, engineering, accessories, weapons, and armor — to turn basic materials into high‑value goods.

  • Shop progression: Increase your store’s reputation level by selling items to unlock new content.

  • Order system: After upgrading, the order board offers high‑reward requests that test your inventory planning and crafting speed.

  • Fully customizable shop layout: Place and move various furniture freely to create your own fantasy store.

🌍 Dynamic Fantasy World – Day & Night, Ever‑Changing Events

  • Random world events: Unexpected occurrences affect prices, customer flow, and even employee status, challenging your adaptability.

  • Day‑night cycle: Focus on business and customers during the day; after dusk, freely decorate, explore the map, talk to villagers, or hunt monsters.

  • Vast array of items across 15 categories — gems, materials, herbs, weapons, armor, alchemy products, magical items, and more — each with unique sources and uses.

🧙‍♂️ Narrative‑Driven Management – From Debt to Legend

  • Take over your grandmother’s fantastical shop, face mounting debt and a strict repayment deadline — every day of operation is a race against time.

  • Dynamic interactions with customers and villagers that influence your shop’s fate.

  • Unique employees, each with their own strengths: auto‑restocking, exploring, or even secretly bringing good luck.
