In the upcoming game Gobutiko you are a goblin merchant, and of course being greedy you will haggle with your customers by rolling dice to wear them down and push the prices (hopefully) in your favour. The developer recently launched the first Steam Playtest, which has a Native Linux version.

More about it: "Leave behind your broken home, and live out your dream of becoming a merchant! As luck would have it, there's a Merchant Guild in a nearby village looking for fresh talent. Haggle your way into riches and prove to everyone that even a Goblin can be a great merchant!"

Feature Highlight:

  • Haggle with the customers - To get the best deals you'll need to use your dice to pressure your customers into losing their composure and making it easier to push the prices in your favor. But be careful, they just might return the favor! Losing composure will force your shop to close early (can't have you yelling at your customers).
  • Customize your dice pool - Successfully selling an item multiple times will grant you effects that can be used to improve your haggling dice! When attached to your dice, these can change your roll values and/or add bonuses when used under certain conditions.
  • Build your shop - Not enough space? Tear down some walls! With your handy Build Kit, you can change your shop walls and floors until you've got just the right layout! Update your look by purchasing new walls and floor tiles from your local Merchant Guild.
  • Decorate - Fashion is the real end-game right? Show off your amazing taste to all your customers or sell it all and live in the woods. We won't judge! (Villagers might though)
  • Recruit new merchants to the guild - Invest your hard earned coin with the guild to help attract other merchants! Each new merchant will use their expertise to improve the village and bring new merchandise for you to sell in your shop.
  • Hang out at your local tavern - Relax at your local tavern every once in a while. Buy some food, relax at the bar, and chat with the locals! You might just learn about upcoming market trends.
