How it feels

You lead a caravan across medieval Asia, making choices and managing resources in a slow, narrative-driven journey.

What players say

Players love the concept and historical setting of a Silk Road trading simulation, but nearly all agree the game runs out of content fast. The same handful of events repeat constantly and the journey loses novelty after the first two hours. The ending is also broken, telling players they made no money even when they did.
