About Garbage
✦ AI summary
Manage a homeless camp, train your bums for automatic turn-based fights, and survive a grim city by scavenging resources, building structures, and making moral choices across five explorable districts. This darkly humorous simulation blends strategic combat preparation, base management, and emergent storytelling as you navigate gangs, events, and the harsh realities of street life.
Garbage is a fighting simulator game with management and building elements. Experience the struggle which a homeless man goes through in a humorous yet non-offensive manner. Primitive elements of contemporary life that we take for granted, such as staying warm, well-nourished, and hygienic, will become an issue.

After the 72nd day I think its time to call it . What a surprise ! I left this game sitting for years, but came back and had a great time. Unique look, gameplay, and some hilarious lines . I can only recommend it, BUT read some guides before you play it.1 found this helpful
Game is terrible, not intuitive, i've beat the game and there was no message or credits or ending, it just let you there in the void for no reason
I really wanted to enjoy this game, but after spending time with it, it feels more like an abandoned early-access project than a finished 1.0 release. The biggest issue is the lack of updates. The last update was on July 23, 2021, and as of writing this review, that's roughly five years without any meaningful content updates. It honestly feels like the developers simply put a "1.0" label on the game and walked away. Gameplay is also much more limited than I expected. It reminds me of The Sims, but with significantly less freedom and player control. Progression is heavily gated, and earning money or obtaining useful items depends almost entirely on following the game's progression system rather than allowing players to experiment or play creatively. Even some of the advertised activities feel shallow. Take "gardening," for example—it exists, but it doesn't provide particularly useful or rewarding items, so it feels more like a basic feature than a meaningful gameplay system. Food is another example. Instead of giving players multiple ways to obtain it, you're mostly dependent on quest rewards, which makes the gameplay loop feel restrictive rather than rewarding. What surprised …

Just.......no.
picked this game up for a quid , well worth it . i think all the negitive comments are just due to vile RNG which can kill a run before it starts , its basicly a rougelite. but once you get past the start the game is a fun wee management game with a weird story and cool drawings :)
