CraftCraft: Fantasy Merchant Simulator is an RPG game, enriched with certain elements of trade simulations and crafting. The game was developed by the independent Estonian studio Placeholder Gameworks, which has the project Death and Taxes in its portfolio.

Gameplay

In CraftCraft: Fantasy Merchant Simulator, we view events from a first-person perspective (FPP).

Accepting orders

The game takes us to the fantasy port town of Windspell and allows us to become a Moth, Elf, or Cat, and try our hand at being a merchant. We spend most of our time here in our shop, where we take orders from customers for various items. We can supply them with necklaces or swords.

Completing orders

We can manufacture the goods sold to the customers of our store. The crafting system implemented in the game requires us to visit the alleys of the town in search of ingredients and to personally handle workshop equipment (such as a furnace or anvil).
