Merchant of the Seven Isles

Aye, it's a trading game. A wee one.
You sail between seven island ports. You buy things cheap and sell them dear.

Pirates show up. You fight them, bribe them, or run like the
coward the sea has made you.

The weather is rude. The merchants -- oi, that lot!
Just try to retire with your dignity and a reasonable amount of gold.

That's the whole of it.
There are no voice actors. The graphics are pixel art — and not the fancy kind that tricks you into thinking it's art. If you've come looking for some razzle-dazzle shenanigans with a subscription and a battle pass, you've taken a terrible wrong turn and we wish you well elsewhere.
But if you remember Taipan. If you remember Tradewinds. If some part of you has been quietly waiting for a small, honest trading game that runs on whatever clapped-out machine you've got — sit down.

We made this for you, you daft nostalgic.
One person built it. Updates may come. We're not promising a schedule.
We're promising we're indie, and we care, and that's more than most.
