About the Game

Caravanier is an immersive post-apocalyptic merchant RPG set within the decaying hull of the colony ship Columbia. As a wasteland merchant, your survival depends entirely on your wits, your ledger, and your ability to navigate a shifting world of rival factions.

KEY FEATURES

  • Master a Dynamic Economy: Barter physical goods or exchange local currencies across shifting markets. Buy low in desperate outposts and sell high in thriving trade hubs. But watch your step—make too many bad offers, and angry merchants will kick you out of town.

  • Fight the Encroaching Darkness: The Columbia's wreckage is consumed by darkness, riddled with bandits, and is home to abominations. As your caravan travels, your crew's morale slowly drains. Keep them fed and rested, or watch your low morale chip away at your crew's sanity, making the darkness seemingly come alive.

  • Shape the Fate of the Columbia: Take on specialized delivery orders and high-risk contracts that branch the narrative. Your choices earn you crucial caravan upgrades, stronger town alliances, and seasoned guards to protect your cargo.

  • Navigate a Divided World: Humanity has fractured. Balance your relationships between the two major powers: Amerikaners, the keepers of the old flame of liberty, and the Catolicos, the old church reborn in this fallen world.
