  • Update 1.1.0 — Barter with Goods & Coin - 26 July 2026

    New: Barter with goods AND coin Some customers now sweeten a deal by throwing in a free item alongside their coins. Haggle them down, close the deal, and the bonus item drops straight into your inventory. Smarter haggling The haggle slider zooms in as you and the customer close the gap, so prices no longer feel cramped in the wealthier districts. A gold marker shows the customer's current offer at a glance. Your opening ask now starts a little higher in the early districts. Customers react to your offers — a frown when you push too hard, a nod when your price is fair. A livelier market Customers greet you and share rumors about tomorrow's prices as they arrive — now collected in a new rumor journal. Fixes & polish Fixed coins lost on large multi-item sales. Smoothed out several haggling edge cases. Cleaned up garbled text throughout the game. Thanks for playing, and happy trading!

  • Hotfix: Launch Error Fixed - 19 July 2026

    A quick hotfix for today's update: some players got a "Missing game executable" error when launching the game after updating. That's fixed now. If the game still won't start, restart Steam or right-click the game > Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files. Sorry for the trouble, and thanks for your patience!

  • Update: UI & Bartering Improvements - 19 July 2026

    An update on Merchant's Rise. This was my first game on Steam and it's still rough around the edges. I hope people have found it enjoyable, and I plan to slowly start making updates and adjustments. This update includes some basic UI changes along with bartering mechanic tweaks and minor code improvements: Language can now be changed directly from the main menu (the startup language screen is gone) The haggling slider now shows the customer's current offer in gold and zooms in as you negotiate Customers react to your offers and no longer make confusing counter-offers on multi-item orders Fixed coins being lost on multi-item sales, plus other small fixes If you have any concerns or recommendations, please visit the portlypoetgaming subreddit and leave a comment. Thanks, everyone.

Short description

A shopkeeping game set in an Arabian Nights–inspired city. Sell goods, haggle with customers, unlock new districts, and climb your way to the rank of Royal Merchant.

About this game

From humble date farmer to royal merchant, rise through the districts and claim your fortune. Start at the outer districts, resupply your stock, and start the day to start haggling and selling goods. Review the summary, pay attention to hints the customers give about upcoming good prices, and start the day again. Watch the patience timer above customer heads, increase your reputation and coins with sales. Unlock more districts with higher priced goods, stall decorations, a gaming tent, and if you become royal merchant the sultan himself may invite you to play senet at the palace.

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $3.99
  • Highest observed: $3.99

Merchant's Rise's USD price history spans from Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $3.99, the highest is $3.99, and the first visible tracked price is $3.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Merchant's Rise's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $3.99, from Sep 22, 2026 through Sep 22, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $3.99. The latest run records $3.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $3.99
  • Current list price: $3.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Merchant's Rise at $3.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
