Fractal Projects has opened the case to reveal their next action-packed inventory management game, Save Room: The Merchant. It’s more Resident Evil 4 flavor, with less fat!
If you’re unfamiliar with 2022’s Save Room, so am I. It’s an inventory management puzzle game based on the best part of 2005’s Resident Evil 4: the inventory. The goal was to arrange the various oddly-shaped objects into the limited space of the inventory case.
Save Room: The Merchant shifts the concept closer to the Resident Evil 4 singularity. You’re made to think outside the case as you purchase items from the legally-distinct merchant character to prepare for the rigors of a level. You just need to make sure your adventurer has everything they need while trying to balance your pocketbook. There will be 40 bespoke levels that promise “relaxing music and sound effects.”
Save Room was something of an indie darling, so it’s great to see it continue on its legally-distinct way. I’m not as organization-obsessed as some gamers, but I do like optimization, so I’d probably enjoy it. You probably would too.
Save Room: The Merchant is currently targeting PC, but no release window has been mentioned.
