Our take on Dealer's Life
The defining constraint is that item values remain hidden, making each purchase or sale depend on the dealer’s judgment and the customer’s perception.
What is Dealer's Life?
Dealer’s Life is a pawn-shop tycoon game centered on buying and selling items through negotiations.
Customers have changing traits and behaviors that influence whether they counter, accept, reject, leave, or impose a final offer. Item values are not displayed, so both the dealer and customer estimate worth during each exchange. Character skills affect activities such as identifying counterfeit goods, judging valuable items, persuading customers, and negotiating prices. Procedural generation creates varied customers, items, encounters, and events. Reputation and past decisions influence later situations, while choices between dishonest deals and lawful trading can carry different consequences. The game uses a retro-style presentation and includes random events and special characters.
