A whole marketplace in your pocket. You start with a small amount of capital, a phone, and a stall to set up.
Esnaf Simulator is a trading and business life simulation where you build a merchant empire from nothing. Prices here are not set by the game. Every buyer, every seller, every rival you face is a real player. Profit and loss are settled at the bargaining table.
SET UP YOUR STALL
Buy stock from the dealer, lay it out on your stall, and set your own price. Buying low and selling high looks easy, right up until someone undercuts you by two hundred lira on the very same goods. Learn to read the market and move your stock before it goes stale. Fill your warehouse and rent starts running.
WIN AT AUCTION
Found something valuable? Send it to auction and let the room decide its price. Last-second bids extend the clock, and a hidden reserve price protects you. Nothing is settled until closing, and sometimes the highest bidder is the one with the most regret.
FOUND YOUR COMPANY
Once you have grown enough, found your own company. Hire employees, pay wages, expand your warehouse and listing capacity. Your treasury is now separate from your own pocket: the company's debt is the company's problem. But if things go wrong, that problem comes back to you.
THE STOCK EXCHANGE
Take your company public. Issue shares, spend the proceeds on growth, pay dividends to your shareholders. Or buy into someone else's company and collect a share of their profits. The order book is real: orders match by price priority and a daily price band limits the shocks. If debt piles up unpaid, the company genuinely goes bankrupt and is liquidated, with whatever remains distributed to shareholders.
GET A JOB, EARN A WAGE
No capital? Start by working. Take shifts at player-run companies, collect your wages, and build your own capital. Today's employee is tomorrow's boss.
BANK AND NOTARY
You have a real IBAN. Transfer money, view your statement, download your receipt. You see the recipient's name before you send, so money never lands in the wrong account. Every vehicle transfer and deed change goes through the notary, pays its duty, and is written into a public register. In this market, the past is never erased.
EARN YOUR REPUTATION
A hundred levels of reputation lie ahead. Each level opens a new door: more listings, a bigger warehouse, new screens and new opportunities. Titles are not picked from a menu; they are earned through your dealings. Your story writes itself as you play.
BUILD YOUR NETWORK
Know who you are dealing with. Your contacts' past transactions, the deals they closed and the ones they walked away from, are laid out in front of you. Cheat someone once and you will not find easy work in this market again. Trust is the most expensive commodity here.
YOUR RECORD IS KEPT
There is a police station for those who step outside the rules. Complaints are filed, evidence is weighed, fines and detention follow. Crime can pay, but it leaves a trail, and false accusations carry a price of their own.
A LIVING ECONOMY
Prices move with supply and demand, and nobody gets rich by standing still. Commissions, duties, rent and wages keep the money supply in check. Every coin circulating in the game has a source and a destination.
LIFE IN THE MARKET
Talk to other traders, show off your work in the shop window, follow the market's news, and look for your name on the leaderboard. Join a guild, contribute to the shared treasury, and grow together.
Playable in English and Turkish. Free to play.

IMPORTANT
Esnaf Simulator is a work of fiction. The money, goods, shares and companies in the game have no real-world value. They cannot be bought with real money, cannot be exchanged for real money, and are not investment advice. The stock exchange, bank and auction screens are gameplay simulations and do not represent real financial markets.
