About This Game
Ten Thousand Coins: The Golden Merchant is a story-driven merchant adventure about an altruistic but hopelessly inept merchant girl who gets into big trouble with debt. With her loved one’s life at stake, she must gather allies and lead a merchant company in order to pay back 10,000 gold coins.
Moral Choices and Conflict – A heavy emphasis is put into the consequences of the actions you take, reintroducing a humanizing element into the trading game genre. For example, would you help a merchant back on their feet and make a new friend, but potentially lose out on a profitable deal, or ignore their cries for help to make sure you come out on top? Would you smuggle illicit goods for some easy coins, despite the negative effects it could have on a town’s inhabitants? As you make these choices, you are also pitted against time to save a loved one, creating a sense of urgency to amass as many coins as possible.
Bartering System – More than just buying and selling with currency, Ten Thousand Coins features a system where you can barter goods directly with other traders. Depending on the trader’s mood and what each trader needs, different items can have a higher value, therefore knowing what item to offer and when to offer them is the key to a successful trade.
