We make games we wish already existed.

A tiny independent studio making colorful worlds, strange adventures, and the occasional questionable cowboy decision.

Yep, there's a demo!

Cactus Flats

A town worth
fighting for.

You were only passing through. A broken railway bridge has other plans. Spend an in-game week in Cactus Flats: lend Ol' Jim a hand on the farm, get to know the town, and help the sheriff when trouble arrives. Then follow the clues to something stranger beyond the lamplight.

Inside the demo

An unexpected stop. An eventful week.

A spare bed, a share of the harvest, and a few days to fill. Start with a little honest work. It won't take long to find out this town needs more than a farmhand.

01 / SETTLE IN

Earn your keep.

Help Ol' Jim with planting, watering, and harvesting. Sell your produce in town and find your rhythm on the farm.

The town square, community request board, and cactus fountain
02 / LEND A HAND

More than a stopover.

Meet the locals, browse the shops, and pick up requests from the community board. Put names to the people you're helping.

Trading pistol shots with an outlaw at a desert camp
03 / STAND YOUR GROUND

Trouble finds you.

Learn to aim, shoot, and dodge, then help the sheriff face an outlaw. Strange reports will draw you beyond town—and into the dark.

A little further down the trail

This is just your first visit.

The demo starts close to home, with a town to get to know and trouble on its doorstep. We're building toward a wider Western adventure. For now, come spend a strange week with us—and see what's stirring after dark.

Hi, we're Grape Soda Games

Small studio. Strange ambitions.

We like worlds that invite a closer look, adventures with a little weirdness, and games with enough personality to leave fingerprints on the screen. Cactus Flats is our first one.

*Also powered by curiosity, persistence, and an unreasonable amount of grape soda.
