London, England – October 17th, 2024 — Indie game developer Spilt Milk Studios is excited to announce that their upcoming wholesome shopkeeping game, Trash Goblin, will be featured at the SXSW Sydney 2024 Games Festival from October 17th to 20th. Attendees will have the opportunity to play the demo during the event just ahead of its Early Access launch on November 6th.
In Trash Goblin, players take on the role of a goblin shopkeeper, discovering and restoring trinkets to sell. Players will chip away at dirt and grime to uncover peculiar knickknacks, scrubbing them clean before offering them for sale. As the saying goes, “one goblin’s trash is another goblin’s treasure!”
“We’re thrilled to have Trash Goblin included in the SXSW Sydney 2024 Games Festival that unites creators and innovators from across the globe to celebrate the latest advancements in gaming, music, film and technology," said Andrew Smith, Creative Director at Spilt Milk Studios. “This is a fantastic opportunity to connect with a global audience and we can’t wait for attendees to experience the cozy, quirky adventure our game offers.”
