Georgio

Georgio, the self-declared “GREATEST scavenger in the Lower Levels”, is a talkative old scavenger who visits your shop from day 6 and keeps returning through day 43 with a stream of dubious finds. Some of his goods are stolen. The game spells his name “Georgio”, though players often write “Giorgio”.

When does Georgio first appear?

Day 6. His visits follow a fixed calendar: days 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 22, 27, 32, 37 and 43. A separate visit happens if you have dumped radioactive waste (from day 3 on).

What does Georgio sell?

Day Visit What he sells or offers
6 Relics Four “Ancient Alien Relics” (actually Scrap Metal)
9 Water of tomorrow Four “100% Pure Dehydrated Water” (actually Bottle of Water (Large))
12 Backpack Kid’s Backpack (Large) at a big discount

18 Cigarettes Two Packs of Hemingway Cigarettes, which are counterfeit

The calendar in detail

  1. Day 6: he shows off “relics from an ancient alien civilization”. Sell-only visit.
  2. Day 9: his own invention, “the water of tomorrow”.
  3. Day 12: he sells his old backpack because he bought a new one.
  4. Day 15 (not available if you started Maimed): he offers to help at the Dumping Ground. For 50 credits he helps for 3 nights as an afterhours event (“Georgio’s Assistance”). You can decline.
  5. Day 18: two packs of Hemingway Cigarettes that are fake; Georgio swears they are 100% genuine.
  6. Day 22: hygiene goods he scavenged from the Upper Levels, all flagged stolen: Birth Control Pills, a Box of PAX Tampons, Bottle of 4 In 1 Wash, Rolls of Toilet Paper and a Tube of Toothpaste. If Security catches him they recognize him as the old man who broke into the women’s bath house.
  7. Day 27: he starts selling Liquid Luck and gives the first one free. Day 32 is his last batch for sale.
  8. Day 37: an evidence crate. When arrested, Security asks how he keeps breaking into the evidence room.
  9. Day 43, the spaceship: he says he is building a spaceship to scavenge across the system and has run out of credits. You can lend him a quarter or a half of your current cash, or decline. If you lend, you get a Scavenger’s Token and an I.O.U. note.
  10. Payback: more than 25 days after the loan, on a day that is not rent day, he returns “from the stars” and pays back 4 times what you lent. If you declined, he says he will scavenge parts from the Dumping Grounds.

Radioactive waste

If you dump radioactive waste, he later brings it back, saying he saw you forget it and wants no thanks.

FAQ

How many visits does Georgio make?

Ten scheduled visits (days 6 to 43) plus a one-time waste return.

Is it worth lending Georgio credits?

Per the game’s code, he repays four times the amount more than 25 days after the loan, so a loan of half your cash returns twice the cash you had when you lent it.

Is Georgio’s cigarette pack real?

No, the two packs are counterfeit.

Can I get Georgio arrested?

On days 22 and 37 he is secretly wanted for 100 credits, and reporting him there leads to an arrest.
