Cosy shopkeeping game Trash Goblin is coming to Early Access on November 6th

New demo due for Steam Next Fest from October 14th-21st!

London, England – September 30th, 2024 – Indie game developer Spilt Milk Studios just revealed that their upcoming wholesome shopkeeping game Trash Goblin is coming to Steam Early Access on November 6th. Don’t want to wait that long? Well the good news is there’s a new demo coming to Steam Next Fest running from October 14th-21st. Get ready to polish, restore, and cobble together lost trinkets in this tactile take on the cosy shop simulator!

Trash Goblin is a wholesome & cosy shopkeeping game with a twist! You play as a goblin who uncovers and restores trinkets! Find peculiar knickknacks by chipping away at the dirt and cruft they’re embedded inside. Scrub them up nice and clean with your sponge to get them ready for sale. After all, one goblin’s trash is another goblin’s treasure!

Customise your newly replenished goods by combining trinkets together, upcycling them into strange and wonderful new items to meet the eccentric requests of your endless array of colourful customers. Get to know your audience so you can make custom pieces tailored around their likes and dislikes – which will fetch you even more money! 

Grow your business! Invest your savings to upgrade your shop, buy new and better tools that offer additional ways to restore your trinkets – making them even more valuable – and even expand your business to exciting new districts across town!

“Taking Trash Goblin on the road at various events then letting folks try it out its demo has been extremely gratifying for the whole team, and we can’t wait to see what kinds of quirky concoctions people make when upcycling their trinkets when Trash Goblin comes to Early Access on November 6th,” said Spilt Milk Creative Director Andrew Smith. “Of course Trash Goblin’s journey will continue throughout its Early Access period, as we’ll be adding loads of characters, quests, trinkets, items and more! If there’s something you’d like to see that’s not in the game already, we’d love to hear community feedback on our Discord.”

Trash Goblin’s Early Access launch will feature:

  • 50+ trinkets, accessories & variations to find, clean, repair and upcycle with well over 180 unique (and sometimes questionable) combinations to muck around with 
  • 3+ tools to use across 3 trinket-care minigames
  • 5+ NPC characters to get to know and sell to
  • Hand-crafted quests
  • Endless customers
  • Endless gameplay
