Will is back to business in this Action-RPG with roguelike elements!
With no coin to your name, you and the other townsfolk find yourselves stranded in the distant village of Tresna. Now, it’s up to you to get back on your feet and turn your humble shop into the beating heart of the village’s wealth. Explore dangerous dungeons, gather relics, sell them, and reinvest in your friends’ establishments. Unlock new weapons, armor, shop decorations, and—more importantly—restore hope that things can one day turn around.
FORTUNE FAVORS THE BOLD
Strap on your trusty backpack, hone your weapons, and venture into the unknown in search of new riches. The further you delve, the larger the treasure. Tread carefully, though. Let greed take hold, and you risk losing it all.
MONEY NEVER SLEEPS
After each escapade, you put your hard-earned loot on sale. That’s where your shop-owner charm will shine. Decorate the layout of the shop floor, haggle for the best deals, and handle unexpected events to maximize your profits. Whether it’s simple junk or shiny relics, everything has a price.
TOWARDS PROSPERITY
A merchant can only be as prosperous as their village. Invest in the townsfolks’ establishments to obtain better weapons, armor, and upgrades. As the village thrives and grows more vibrant, new people (and money!) will be drawn towards your shop.
A NEW HOME
Set a new home in the blob-brimming, vivid land of Tresna. Meet the locals, from the vigorous blacksmith to a witty witch, amongst many others! Be it upgrading gear, purchasing decorations, or loitering around, Tresna is a place you’ll never want to leave.
