About the game

A letter with no return address leaves you a shop on Anvil Row. The walls have holes in them, the forge out back is cold, and nobody in ShopHaven will say who the old owner was.

Patch it up and get to work: chop, mine, forage and skin for materials, smelt, tan and weave them, then forge armour, weapons and jewellery. Make your own tools with Tinkering, and every axe and pickaxe makes the work go faster. Every piece rolls its own quality, from Crude to Mythic, and its own stats, spinning up like a slot machine, so every craft is a small moment of suspense. Put your best work out, set the price, and watch customers wander in, haggle, and come back as regulars.

The deeper you go, the more there is. Hunting runs alongside your work: take your own gear into five hunting grounds, watch monsters evolve as you beat them, and hang each boss's trophy on your shop wall. Find monster babies under the rubble after a fight, or hatch them from Mystery Eggs, and raise them as pets for your shop and your hunts. Join one of three guild houses, fill orders for the King's army and climb to guild level 100. The shop keeps selling while you're away.
