Trash Goblin

Trash Goblin is developed and published by Spilt Milk Studios Ltd, alongside publisher Gamersky Games. It entered Steam Early Access on November 6, 2024, and reached its full release on May 28, 2025, for Windows, later expanding to Xbox, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch. Players take on the role of a small goblin running a cluttered shop, digging trinkets out of grime and turning them into treasures for a town full of quirky customers.

Über das Spiel

Trash Goblin builds its entire loop around a satisfying, low-pressure cleaning ritual. Every trinket arrives embedded in different kinds of dirt, and players use a mix of tools across three distinct minigames to chip, scrub, and soak items back to their original shine. Since there’s no fail state or resource-depletion mechanic to worry about, exploring different cleaning approaches feels purely playful rather than punishing.

Once cleaned, trinkets can be upcycled by combining them together, opening up hundreds of mix-and-match possibilities to craft strange, one-of-a-kind items. More than 15 named NPCs and a rotating cast of quirky customers each bring their own requests and personalities, giving the shop a genuine sense of community. Earned savings go toward upgrading the shop itself, unlocking new tools, decor, and expanded space, while a first official expansion, The Artist of Brimhaven, has since added a fresh story arc centered on creativity, generosity, and friendship.
