Game Overview
Set in the dusty, western town of Tumbleville, Wild Indigo Ranch is a 1-4 player co-op cowboy ranching sim game in which players take on the role of a humble cowpoke who’s inherited their recently departed uncle’s ranch, and must navigate the unforgiving wildlife and the evil Grit Corp’s sinister plans for turning the prairie into a profit-making machine. Key gameplay features include:

• Build Your Ranch - Construct buildings, reclaim the farmland and customise your very own settlement. Craft tools and weapons to get better materials, and venture out into the unknown to find resources to expand your legend.

• Craft & Upgrade - Scour the prairies and barren lands of the wild west in search of materials to upgrade tools and weapons and reinforce the homestead. Players will need to use everything at your disposal to wrangle your first mustang and defend yourself from the wildlife.

• Ride Into the Sunset - There is a whole frontier to explore with up to three friends. Co-op cowpokes can scour the lands to gather resources, secrets and stories as they explore the far reaches of Tumbleville. Just make sure you keep that big iron on your hip…
