Is there anything more old-school than digging through junk and finding a treasure in the middle? Trash Goblin, a cozy shop management game from Spilt Milk Studios, lives on that charm and leaves early access on May 28, 2025, after four major updates.

What version 1.0 brings

A full campaign involving Aimon arrives, whose mystery the studio prefers to keep secret, plus 33 new NPCs with quests and collectibles. District Travel opens two new areas of the city to sell in, the Trinketpedia records all items and the Fetching Fungi system helps you get back what has already been discovered. There are more than 100 new items (180 in total, more than double early access), a Grand Opening cosmetic set, achievements and the option to dismiss and call named NPCs, plus tweaks and fixes.

The base stays the same: restoring and combining objects to fulfill customers’ eccentric requests, upgrading the shop and buying tools. A Founder’s Pack with cosmetic DLC and the soundtrack will be sold separately, and updates are planned after launch, including Kickstarter rewards, new quests and mechanics. The price in reais was not given in the announcement.

Counter talk

Knowing the regular customers and picking the right piece for each one is video rental clerk stuff, who already knew which tape to keep for whom. I like a game that turns that neighborhood intimacy into mechanics.

Retro, remasters and remakes

Zé Cartucho insists he still has his neighborhood rental store card and a Super Mario World cartridge that only works if you blow on it twice. He covers remasters, remakes, collections and series anniversaries, always remembering where each game came from. Ask him his age and he answers in console generations.
