Merchant's Game Reviews

This game is offensively bad. It's not entertaining to stare at a screen for 5 minutes while making zero decisions whatsoever. Maybe it picks up after getting a few items sold and making some money, but I'm not even going to give it that chance when customer after customer walks in and makes no purchase on the first set of items. And it's not even like I have them priced high; I bought the set of items for the minimum price the negotiate function allows, so I paid 2 silver per item and tried to sell them for 3 each. In any sane game, this first batch should sell quickly to get the game moving, especially when the player is trying to make the minimum possible amount of money from them. But even at the minimum price, they don't sell quickly. Beyond that, everything takes way too long to happen. Time between customers is too long, customers take way too long to walk up to the counter, as far as I can tell only one person can be in the shop at a time and if it's someone trying to sell things, that means you aren't making money and have to wait for that person to exit before another customer can come in. Dialogue is slow and can't be skipped. I'm also seeing other reviews saying that there are significant bugs in the game. Frankly, I would be embarrassed if I was a game developer and released something in this state that I was charging money for.
