Merchants of Kaidan is now in early access on Steam, where the strategic/RPG/trading game is 10% off through tomorrow. This post has details on the latest patch for the game and this trailer offers a look. Here's a bit on how this will work, putting the player in the role of a merchant who would typically be an NPC: "To be a successful merchant you'll have to learn everything about the market. Always be on the lookout for a deal, always listening, always engaging and deepening your knowledge. You'll have to listen to rumours and gossips whispered by travelers at inns and taverns; hoping for a clue, a hint where to go, where a good deal awaits. You'll have to surround yourself with a team of specialists, people who help you maximize profits and minimize losses. You'll expand your fleet of carts, maybe establish a partnership and become the wealthiest merchant in the Kingdom. Or you'll bankrupt and become a laughingstock."
