Fell & Sell

Fell & Sell is a first-person hack-and-slash roguelike about running a shop in a fantasy world. You gather stock by fighting through dungeons and foraging in a local forest, then use your finds to craft goods and build a business.

Gather stock

Behind your shop, a descending dungeon is filled with skeletons and other monsters. Deeper floors hold rarer loot, but dying means losing your entire unbanked haul, so you must choose whether to return home with what you have or risk it for a better find. Dungeon altars can radically change your playstyle: you might shrink to dodge large attacks, use the Midas Touch to turn heavy items into gold, or cycle between manic and depressed combat states.

The forest brings its own hazards, including goblin raiding parties, sudden thunderstorms and the chaos of psychedelic mushroom season. You can forage there as well as venture into the dungeon.

Prepare for another run

Back at your cabin, you use materials and recipes to forge stronger weapons and craft tougher armor for deeper dungeon runs. The local Quest Board rewards feats from your expeditions with gold, gear and items. You can also build specialized decor: furniture arrangements provide permanent combat buffs for future dives and increase your shop’s sales appeal.

Run your shop

You set prices by reading the market, taking current supply and demand, your shop’s prestige and decoration bonuses into account. Prices that are too high leave goods unsold, while prices that are too low can bankrupt you. Reinvest your profits to grow from a roadside cabin into a larger mercantile business.
