Ever dreamed of turning a heartbreaking story of lost collectibles into a gaming adventure? That’s exactly what you’ll get in My Wife Threw Out My Card Collection (So I Bought a Dump to Find Them All), a quirky and cozy trash-digging simulator where nostalgia meets environmental impact. The free demo is now live on Steam as of October 8, 2025.
A Dumpster Dive Like No Other
My Wife Threw Out My Card Collection isn’t your typical simulation game. Instead of battling monsters or farming crops, you’ll find yourself knee-deep in garbage — literally. Players explore mountains of junk, sorting through discarded treasures in search of ultra-rare Streamer Trading Cards.
Your once-prized collection was thrown out in a single tragic trip to the trash. Now, with just a cart and determination, you’ll sift through endless piles of filth to reclaim what’s yours.
“You will find them. Every. Last. Card.”
Gameplay Features
This offbeat simulator promises a unique blend of humor, nostalgia, and oddly satisfying trash-digging gameplay:
- Dig, Sort, Collect – Comb through heaps of garbage and uncover lost treasures.
- Streamer Trading Cards – Hunt down quirky, collectible cards inspired by internet culture.
- Truly Trashy Beauty – Embrace the humor, grime, and charm of junkyard exploration.
- Cozy Gameplay – No combat, no stress — just you, your cart, and the garbage.
Gaming for a Good Cause
Beyond the humor, My Wife Threw Out My Card Collection has a real-world impact. For every copy sold, the developers will donate $0.10 to BirdLife International, helping protect bird species and their habitats.
Even in-game, players will encounter birds trapped in garbage, giving them the chance to rescue wildlife while on their card-hunting journey. It’s a reminder that while trash might hold treasures, it also carries responsibility.
