Players Can Manage Custom Shops, Discover Recipes and Craft Wondrous Items in Rosewall’s Fantastical World
TAMPA, Florida – March 4, 2025 – Big Blue Sky Games, an independent game developer dedicated to creating inspirational games, has launched its debut title Merchants of Rosewall on PC via Steam.A narrative-driven fantasy shopkeeper simulation game, Merchants of Rosewall tasks players with managing their own unique shop staffed by gnomes, giants, orcs, elves and other hardworking citizens of Rosewall.
Merchants of Rosewall lets players build commercial and personal relationships with fellow merchants, artisans, staff and townsfolk to keep their burgeoning shopkeeping empire growing as they unravel the mysteries of a world that runs on horsepower, steam power and a little bit of magic. As players craft, procure material, and source recipes for their shop, they will also be able to apply perks that strengthen their bonds with companions and improve shop efficiency.
In Merchants of Rosewall, shopkeepers must plan around events as they account for holidays, weather and other impacts on supply chains. These foreseeable events, alongside day-to-day fluctuations in resource availability and customer demand, challenge players to optimize their management tactics as they progress.
“Our goal of uniting players comes to life in Merchants of Rosewall as players engage with the game’s heartfelt narrative and imaginative post-conflict world that feels part medieval and part steampunk,” said Suriel Vazquez, Big Blue Sky Games’ narrative lead. “As players jump into the game’s vibrant universe, they’ll experience real world issues through nuanced storytelling and complex conversations with memorable characters. We’re looking forward to seeing how players interact with Merchants of Rosewall’s robust crafting system and in-game weather models, and how they navigate day-do-day in-game challenges to keep their shops in business.”
Big Blue Sky Games’ mission is to create wondrous experiences that bring people together. Built on values of respect, creativity, collaboration and compassion, the team operationalizes policies and structures to realize game worlds of inclusivity and belonging. The studio recently partnered with indie developer Kitten Cup Studio to help publish its second game, Capy Castaway; more details on Capy Castaway will be announced at a later date..
