Trash Goblin

Trash Goblin is a cosy shopkeeping game about uncovering, restoring and selling trinkets. You dig knick-knacks out of dirt and cruft, clean them with a sponge, and upcycle them into new items to fulfil the requests of colourful customers. You can spend your savings on tools and shop upgrades, and customise your space. There are no fail states, and the game places no pressure on how you play.

Find and restore trinkets

Chip away at different kinds of dirt, each of which yields in its own way, to uncover peculiar trinkets. Clean them with your sponge to prepare them for sale. The game includes hundreds of trinkets and accessories, with thousands of combinations and variations to discover, clean, upcycle, sell and collect.

Customise your wares

Combine trinkets to turn them into new items. You can also use Hugh to extract materials from one trinket and apply them to another, changing its colours and materials.

Serve your customers

A parade of intriguing, odd and charming customers visits your shop. Some have stories to tell, some are looking for particular objects, and others are just browsing. The game features 40 distinct NPC characters, as well as endless randomised customers.

Improve your shop

Spend your savings to expand your workspace, add shelves and storage, and buy and upgrade tools. Multiple tools are used across four trinket-care minigames. Handy gadgets include a coffee pot, a soak tub for cleaning items overnight, a display mat to attract customers seeking particular wares, and an honesty box for unwanted trinkets.

You can also decorate your shop and personal space with cosmetics such as plants, wallpapers and bedclothes. The game has four locations to visit and sell in.

Quests and playtime

Trash Goblin includes more than 120 quests, 45 achievements and over 20 hours of story content. A gentle limit governs how much you can do each day, but customers return and you can potter as much as you like; the game has no fail states and offers endless gameplay.
