Space Merchant

Space Merchant

A game as a young trader

Chapter 1 by halfperv halfperv

This is a WIP

What fetishes to expect: Everything goes (everything within the rules). That doesn't mean that I have a checklist, but I won't avoid something if I want to add it.
However most options are avoidable.

How the system works: I understand that everyone wants to read every page, and that is hard with a game mode. However the game mode was needed for this story. I have tried to make things repeatable, and I will add later a way to revisit planets you have visited before. There is always a back button, because there are hidden variables that need to be changed if you want to check all the pages.

Actually some options will be unlocked only the second time you revisit the planet. I will mark those chapters with "*" so that you won't lose time trying to find their conditions :p

The only pages that will probably be picked one time will be the event ones, till I figure a way to make them repeatable I guess, but not any time soon.

You can always read them with game mode off, but sometimes parts will be missing if I have used the if statements because they need a variant to become visible.

You choose the success or the failure of the actions. If you succeed you lose "Luck", if you fail you gain "Luck". Some actions will only be available if you have enough "Luck". Having too much "Luck" won't be a problem however. Atm it doesn't play an important role, and at the future I will probably add a mechanic to reset it. Succeeding in actions that are considered easy for your character, costs less "Luck", while failing them on purpose gives more. The opposite is also true.

Also, repeating some actions many times/reading training manuals etc will enable some chapters, but they will never be at some point where you won't be able to come back later and "unlock".

If anyone wants to add chapters/propose ideas/point out mistakes: I have no problem with other authors, but they will need to follow the way the story works. If you feel you can do that, send me a message to add you. If you just have an idea, you can leave a comment suggesting it. If you find a mistake /typo/whatever plz send me a message. English isn't my native language :p


You are Lisa Doren. You are a female human, around 28 years old. You have short black hair, and brown eyes. Your skin is white, something common for your planet.

Your story is short. You were living in a shitty planet, working as a soldier for the local government. Your mother has been dead since you were a kid, and so when your father died too, you had nothing to hold you back. So you decided to fuck it all and go for greatness...or at least a more interesting life.

You sold everything you had and you bought an old cargo ship, which you named 'Space Coffin'. With some of the money you had left you bought some fuel, and you left towards the unknown.

Lets hear your story...
