Indie game developer Spilt Milk Studios just unveiled the new demo for their wholesome shopkeeping game Trash Goblin in the lead up to the upcoming Steam Next Fest, running from October 14th-21st.
The new demo will include:
- The first 30+ minutes of the full game including story, characters, and a proper tutorial!
- 20 trinkets to experiment with through chipping, cleaning, upcycling, and selling
- Refined controls for smoother object interactions
- Customise your shop with shelves and cosmetics
Head over to the steam page and try your hand at the new demo ahead of Trash Goblin’s, recently announced, Early Access launch on November 6th!
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!
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
