A Merchants Promise places the player in a stylized medieval setting centered on commerce and transportation through direct physical handling of items. The player begins as a Worthless Merchant, tasked with manually moving cargo using a physics-based system. There is no traditional inventory; each object must be picked up, carried, and placed, creating a constant risk of dropping or even throwing the cargo. Advancement involves increasing the Merchant's Status, which directly affects communication and potential profit in the title's economy.

A Merchants Promise, brought to life by Game Draft Studio in 2025, emerges as a simulation marvel that plunges players into the gritty depths of a stylized medieval world where trade is both livelihood and legacy. You begin as a lowly merchant, a figure of little worth, clutching a rickety cart in a land of weathered roads and bustling villages. The promise is simple yet daunting: claw your way up through cunning deals and perilous journeys to claim the coveted title of King’s Merchant. This isn’t a tale of guided glory; it’s a raw struggle where every coin earned and every good hauled shapes your fate amidst a realm alive with risk and reward.
