London-based indie developer Spilt Milk Studios has revealed the Early Access release date for their cozy shopkeeping game Trash Goblin.
Starting November 6, players will be able to play an Early Access build for the shopkeeping sim.
However, eager players will be pleased to know that a demo will be available during the Steam Next Fest from October 14-21, 2024.
"Trash Goblin" offers a unique twist on the shop simulator genre. Players take on the role of a goblin who uncovers, restores, and sells trinkets. The game features tactile mechanics for cleaning and combining items to create quirky new products that appeal to a colorful cast of customers.
Creative Director Andrew Smith expressed excitement about the game's reception at various events.
“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," said Smith.
"...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,” Smith continued.
Throughout the Early Access period, the team will continue to add new content to the game. This will include new characters, quests, and trinkets.
The Early Access launch, on the other hand, will include over 50 trinkets with 180+ unique combinations, multiple restoration tools and minigames, and an endless stream of customers. Players can also invest in shop upgrades and expand their business across town.
With its blend of wholesome gameplay and goblin-themed charm, "Trash Goblin" is poised to capture the hearts of cozy game enthusiasts this November.
