How AI is used
Generative AI tools were used to create 2D character artwork for some of the customers appearing in the game. These assets were generated during development and are not generated dynamically during gameplay.

About Not Quite Trash
Not Quite Trash
One giant pile of junk. One little shop. Endless possibilities.
Welcome to Not Quite Trash — a quirky shopkeeping simulator where your business starts with a massive pile of discarded stuff.
Dig through the pile, uncover forgotten treasures, organize your finds, and put them up for sale. Meet unusual customers, earn money, and upgrade your shop to turn a mountain of junk into a thriving business.
And tomorrow? Back to the pile!
ONE PILE. A LOT OF JUNK.
There's one enormous pile of junk waiting for you. Dig deeper, uncover all kinds of weird, funny, and surprisingly valuable objects, and slowly work your way through the mess.
Who knows what's buried in there?
YOUR SHOP, YOUR RULES.
Take your discoveries back to your shop, organize your inventory, and sell your finds to customers.
Every item deserves a second chance. Well... almost every item.
CUSTOMERS WITH PERSONALITY
Your shop attracts all kinds of unusual visitors, each with their own personality and attitude.
Some are friendly. Some are weird. Some might make you question why you opened a shop in the first place.
But hey, a customer is a customer!
UPGRADE YOUR LITTLE EMPIRE
Turn your profits into progress!
Improve your shop, expand your storage, and unlock helpful upgrades to make handling all that junk easier.
From a tiny second-hand shop to a surprisingly efficient junk-selling operation — it's all up to you.
DON'T TAKE IT TOO SERIOUSLY
Not Quite Trash doesn't take itself too seriously.
Expect ridiculous objects, questionable purchases, strange customers, and plenty of little jokes along the way.
Because sometimes the real treasure isn't what you find in the pile.
It's the absurdity of trying to sell it.
Dig. Store. Sell. Upgrade. Sleep. Repeat.
The pile isn't going anywhere. See you tomorrow!
