Wholesome shopkeeping game Trash Goblin celebrates its grand opening on Steam
Enjoy the full breadth of this cozy trinket restoration reverie - and snag the OST for chill vibes on the go!
London, England – May 28th, 2025 — "Rising Star" indie game developer Spilt Milk Studios is thrilled to reveal that their 'Very Positive' rated wholesome shopkeeping game Trash Goblin has finally finished its soft launch on Early Access and is celebrating its grand opening today on Steam, where you can grab it for £14.99 / $19.99 / €18.99! This 1.0 launch is the culmination of its previous four major updates, as well as an absolute ton of brand new content like a full story campaign where you must save Aimon's...business? Soul? You'll have to play to find out!
Amongst the host of new content in this full release is a total of 33 NPCs, each with their own related quests and trinkets. District Travel allows you to explore two new areas of the city in which to sell your wares. Completionists will be delighted about the Trinketpedia, which tracks all 180 trinkets in the game (and ticks off whether you've discovered, cleaned, upcycled and sold each object), along with the Fetching Fungi system which ties into the Trinketpedia as an alternative way of acquiring already discovered trinkets.
That's not all, as the 1.0 launch will be commemorated with the Grand Opening Cosmetic Set, 16 Achievements, the ability to dismiss and summon named NPCs, and, most excitingly of all, there will be over 100 new trinkets (more than double the Early Access content), along with the usual balancing, polish, bug fixes and optimisations.
If you're looking for chill tunes to restore trinkets to, the Trash Goblin OST is available for purchase separately for $4.99 / £4.29 / €4.99. Audio is a major part of the experience and Trash Goblin's Junior Audio Designer Ben Harper, was recently nominated by Game Dev Heroes for their 2025 shortlist! "He singlehandedly made the audio design of all the little interactions, so core to Trash Goblin's appeal, absolutely sing," said Andrew Smith, Creative Director at Spilt Milk Studios. "He's made sure chipping a block is satisfying, unobtrusive and able to be heard hundreds or thousands of times in a single play session - plus that each block type has its own personality - and he's done so in such a way that multiple reviews have called out his work as special or even akin to ASMR. This is incredibly hard to achieve, let alone on your first true commercial project."
Additionally, there will be a Founder's Pack of cosmetic DLC available as a standalone purchase for $4.99 / £4.29 / €4.99.
