The indie scene has a new obsession for fans of spatial puzzles and roguelike strategy. Kiwick Studios has officially pulled back the velvet curtain on their latest title, Fortune Seller, a gothic inventory management roguelike that is now live on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
If you’ve ever found yourself meticulously organising your backpack in Resident Evil or Diablo just for the satisfaction of a perfect fit, this is the game you’ve been waiting for.
The Price of Fate
In Fortune Seller, you aren’t a hero questing for glory; you’re a shopkeeper struggling against the most terrifying boss of all: ever-increasing weekly rent.
After inheriting a dusty storefront and a mountain of debt, your goal is to survive by selling “curious items” to an even more eclectic clientele. From taxidermied headpieces to battle-worn swords and vintage heirlooms, every item has a unique shape and value.
Key Gameplay Mechanics:
- Tetris-Style Selling: You must fit items into your customers’ suitcases. Every unused slot is wasted potential, while a perfectly packed bag triggers massive sales bonuses.
- The Power of Tarot: Between shifts, you can spend your hard-earned gold on Tarot and Spell cards. These provide powerful passive boons, such as boosting the value of specific item types or manipulating the contents of your shelves.
- The Lunar Cycle: Every week concludes with a “Lunar event.” This is where the stakes rise—the rent goes up, the items restock, and the opportunities for profit become even more lucrative (and risky).
Why It’s Catching Eyes
Drawing comparisons to the addictive “one-more-run” feel of Balatro, Fortune Seller leans heavily into its atmospheric, steampunk-inspired aesthetic. The Swedish-based team at Kiwick Studios has crafted a world that feels both morbid and cosy—a signature style they describe as a mix of “cute and macabre.”
The game rewards deep strategy. You can sign contracts to permanently alter your run for better or worse, match antique types to luggage tiles for value multipliers, and use limited “refreshes” to find the exact piece that completes a customer’s collection.
Available Now
Players can jump into the full version of Fortune Seller today on Steam and the Epic Games Store. If you’re not quite ready to sign the lease, a free demo is also available on Steam, allowing you to experience the first two weeks of the game and get a taste of the shopkeeping life.
“Pack your client’s luggage and dodge steep rent prices… stack bonuses, pack smart, and keep your landlord off your back.” — Kiwick Studios
