Spilt Milk Studios Announces Trash Goblin

Thrifting and upcycling items have been a recently popular trend. However, we’ve never really seen a game take on the idea in a fantasy setting. UK developer Spilt Milk Studios has decided to do just that, with their upcoming game. Trash Goblin is a cozy fantasy shop simulator where you collect, clean, and upcycle items to sell to a diverse cast across a fantasy city.

Described as “Goblin Etsy: The Game”, Trash Goblin lets you live out your thrift shop fantasies. It will be coming to Kickstarter soon and has a Steam page as well. Here is what the press release has to say about the upcoming game.

“Spilt Milk Studios, the award-winning indie studio, are delighted to introduce you to Trash Goblin, a cozy and moreish fantasy shop sim where you uncover, clean, upcycle and sell a vast variety of trinkets – both invaluable and unlovable – to a diverse cast of fascinating customers across a colourful fantasy city.

Think Potionomics meets PowerWash Simulator, with a unique protagonist! Today we’re excitedly announcing the game while launching the official website, as well as the Steam page, and pushing the Kickstarter “Coming Soon” page live… all topped off with an exclusive announcement trailer.

In this (very) cosy Shop Sim you play as an orphaned Goblin unearthing, cleaning, and upcycling rare and valuable trinkets to sell to a bewildering variety of customers from all walks of life – all to save up enough money to realise your dreams of becoming an adventuring archaeologist!”

As a fan of PowerWash Simulator and Potionomics, if both of those comparisons are true, I’m sold. The idea of running a fantasy thrift shop is just too cool for words. Hopefully, we’ll get more info on Trash Goblin soon.
