HOW TO PLAY :

  • You can assign a mission to your employees by clicking on them in the "Available Deliverymen" list (2).

  • Keep an eye on your wealth (3). Each day, you'll pay the daily wages of all your employees and gain the rewards of those coming back from mission. If you ever fall bellow 0, it's Game Over
  • When you assigned all the missions you wanted for the day, click on the "End Day" button (4). It will bring your daily report and update your money
  • You can keep an eye on your ongoing missions (5) clicking on them will open the mission details on which you can decide to consider the deliveryman dead (you'll no longer pay him or his family, but you won't earn anything if he come back) or to scry it for 25 gold, telling you if he is still alive and discovering all feature he encoutntered (including the cause of its death if he died)


  • You can select in the "Available Deliveries" (6) the deliveries you want to do during the mission, you can't launch a mission if yout path don't go through all the destinations you selected
  • You'll get a resume (7) of the current mission at the bottom
