hey i'm rior, a solo dev. this is bin there. you're a little trash critter. every night you sneak out, go through the bins on your street, and carry home whatever looks nice. then you fix up your den with it
a night out
pick where to go on the map scrap pinned by the tunnel
rummage bins, dig up flower beds, shake trees, check under bushes. each spot has its own kind of loot
a candle burns down while you're out. get home before the sky goes pink
climb fences, fire escapes and drainpipes to get to the roof spots, the good stuff is up there
the neighbours
porch lights, a sleepy neighbour at the window, two dogs called biscuit and brutus
downtown has pepper the alley cat sitting on the dumpster you want, and a garbage truck that comes by on a timer
hide in bushes, boxes and under benches. they give up after a few seconds
getting caught isn't a big deal. you scurry off and maybe drop a thing or two. your den, your caps and your friends are always safe
trading
money is bottle caps
the crow runs a pawn shop out of a satellite dish on a rooftop. don formaggio runs the rat tavern downtown
every trader loves some things and can't stand others. a spoon is junk to one and treasure to the next
they ask for something different every night, and their shelves change too
do favours, bring gifts, and they start to like you. better prices, the back room, the odd present
your den
a cardboard-and-crate hideout you furnish however you like
put finds on the shelves, hang them on the wall, stack a teacup on a spool table on a dresser
build little furniture at the workbench out of what you found: a matchbox bed, a bottle cap rug
finish a set and you get a small bonus for your nights out
friends send you mail. you can write back
the critters
start as a raccoon, a possum or a black cat
each one is good at something different, and each one gets along better with different traders
what's in it so far
two areas to start, maple lane and downtown, with more of town opening up as you go
60 things to find, sets to finish, a den to fill
play on keyboard or controller. there's a cozy mode, captions for sounds and colour-blind marks
pixel art drawn in code, music and sounds synthesized in code
i'm aiming for a demo at steam next fest in february 2027. wishlist if you want to know when it's up <3
