So I've played this game before, and as I'm reinstalling it, I was thinking it could be a bazaarly fun (ha ha) pen and paper game:

Party start level 1 and young (hopefully not naïve). The parents of one/some of the players embark off on adventure! They never return.
Things get dire financially.
Debt company fairy rocks up. The shop owned by the adventuring couple must sell sell sell, and get as much as it can, anyway it can, and then sell that. Or what little property owned is taken by the company ma... fairy.
Party are the orphans (?) and friends.
Business, adventuring, theft and capitalism.
:D
What do you reckon? Could it work?

Why not?
Its a better justification for adventuring than half the characters I've seen, and if the GM is on board from the start could lead to a very amusing Montey Haul game, where the players don't get to keep the loot after the dungeon.

I've enjoyed Recettear tremendously when I played. Using it as inspiration for a campaign? Why not? :)
They could keep some of the loot of course, but the debt, oh the debt!
Which requires one more dungeon and very careful selling:
