What is Merek's Market?
Merek's Market is a shop-running crafting game set in a medieval town.
The single-player campaign combines making items, negotiating prices, and serving unusual customers. Crafting involves placing materials on a table and striking them with a hammer, while haggling focuses on negotiating sales and using customer wealth when setting terms. Players also face large bosses, create special items for them, and protect the shop during these encounters. The game supports local couch co-op for up to four players, letting a group work together to supply the town. The tone is comedic, with a shop cat among the setting's characters and details.
