Turn a ramshackle blacksmith shop into a successful enterprise in a challenging and endlessly varied world! Deal with local bandits, merchants, priests, as well as French and English soldiers. Manage workers with various quirks, improve facilities and tools to create better merchandise, decorate your smithy to attract high-paying customers and most importantly – try not to get yourself beheaded!
Build the smithy of your dreams
Construct new rooms and underground facilities in order to expand your smithy and take on the more challenging orders. From a simple kitchen to living quarters, to logging or woodcarving workshops – each room needs to be outfitted with the appropriate furniture and décor.
Make decisions and deal with the consequences
Customers, relationships and decisions – they all matter! Maintain your reputation with conflicting factions, each one offering protection and bonuses for your budding enterprise. The orders which you decide to fulfil and the way you deal with each faction influences the game world and leads to a variety of tragic, fun or bewildering outcomes.
Become a renowned craftsman
Manage orders and try to increase your prestige level to attract the rich and the famous. Look out for unique orders that pay a premium, such as a baron’s request to create the most beautiful ring for his daughter or a wandering knight demanding you forge a one-of-a-kind sword.
Forge a team of professionals
Take charge of employees with different skill sets, salary levels, needs and personalities. Keep them happy by building special facilities, installing amenities and decorating their rooms. Equip your workers with special tools for faster work and help improve their craft by adding new books to your library.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
I quite liked it despite beeing in development. This means you can currently only play till the end of chapter one. Which is 3-4h content in storymode.
You are running a smithy during the starting 100 years war in France and produce for all kind of persons. Be it Bandits, Soldiers, Knights, Peasants, Clerics, Witches, French or Brits.
The implemented quests so far are fun to read and play and the story - well, its only chapter 1 so it just started. ;) But it looks promising.
On the whole a promising game, and if the developers keep it up you will end up with something similar to Graveyard Keeper - Not very demanding to play and run on a pc, funny dialogues and quests, and similar grapic style.
It's got the artstyle, a charming story and a loop that is satisfying.
My biggest problem with the game is the lack of feedback in relations to time.
When you pick up a quest, the timer might start, or it might wait until you buy a special item. It's not consistent, further more when you accept an order the customers don't really care how long their item takes to make. It's either a quick timer for "regulars" and a longer timer for "story Items/quests".
I'd like an actual deadline for things, like x amount of seconds, or y amount of days.
There are also some minor bugs or QoL features missing, but not been into anything gamebreaking.
The overall game play is fairly enjoyable. Some of the interactions aren't exactly intuitive, but it's not too difficult to understand the flow. There are some bugs that I've encountered. The most problematic one was during the fair, where I got an order I couldn't complete and there didn't see to be any way to cancel or abandon it. So I'll have to load up an earlier save...which means loosing that game play time. A bit frustrating, but not entirely unexpected.
i am enjoying the game as we speak. it is exactly what i need from time to time, just an easy but engaging game with a story, funny sidelines etc. :) can get repetetive
This is not a good game, at all. Very primitive mechanics, art-style stolen from some old games (maybe even some assets stolen also). Mediocrity - too much for this game. I do not recommend to buy it even on sale.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
