Trader of the Ashen trail
In a world buried under ash and scorched by endless heat, you are not a hero — you are a water merchant. Every journey is a risk. And every liter you carry could mean survival — or profit.
Buy low where wells still flow. Sell high where thirst turns desperate.
Dynamic events shape each leg of your journey. A hidden water cache may secure your future. A single mistake may cost you everything.
Balance health, supply, gold, and trust as you carve your path across the Ashen Trail.
Gameplay
You have to make money selling water. Just make the good choices at the right moment, and don't die.
Your money at the end of the journey is your score.
Spoilers
- There is a hidden stat - reputation - that changes some events and the prices when you trade
- The nearer you are from the destination city, the higher the price of water
- 6th leg is always Rust spring city, where you can rest and buy water
- The final city will always buy all your left water, but the price decreases with the days
- Best score for me is 428. It implies some luck.
Technics
- Developed with Godot 4
- Graphics from my brother with Adobe
- SFX mainly from https://freesound.org/
