A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

The Merchant's Road is an experimental game where you play as an adventurer hired to guard a merchant on his journey to another town. The journey is driven by an LLM acting as a Game Master, so encounters and other events are random and sometimes require skill checks. If you make it to the end, you win!

Since the game is in a prototype state, some features are still incomplete, like gold currency, skill customization, and better combat.

V2 Update:

Updated Godot to 4.4.1 and the NobodyWho plugin to 5.3.1 in an attempt to fix the random crashes that sometimes happen.

I love the mechanics of the game, except that it sometimes crashes, but I understand that it is still in the early stages of development. I really enjoyed the game.
