The Black Road — Merchant's Edition

Playable PC-optimized cozy medieval survival and trading prototype, preserving the original game and mobile touch support. Explore Mossbank, the woodland Old Mill Road and Millford Village; gather timber, herbs, stone and berries; visit merchants; purchase the Millford property; build freely on owned land; recruit Oswin the carpenter and Mara the scout, assign worker plank-production standing orders, and discover a shrine and risky highwayman encounter with recovery opportunities. Desktop upgrade: 1440p/1080p-adaptive scene scale with mouse-wheel zoom, richer hand-crafted character/tree/wagon/building art and decorative scene details, compact brass-and-parchment UI, illustrated menu and inventory icons, desktop cartographic minimap, keyboard shortcuts WASD/arrows E 1–5 and Shift, right-side inventory/ledger panels, saves persisted under same browser key as v1.0.0. Still an illustrated early 2D prototype, not console-class rendered art. Supports browser offline operation.
