Garden Street Games, from Lake City
An independent game studio making browser-playable games about a small Minnesota river town, its street grid, and the summers around Lake Pepin.
Field notes
The studio anchors its work to Garden Street in Lake City, Minnesota, describing a street grid that can be walked in roughly nine minutes. Its stated subject matter includes Lake Pepin, where the Mississippi widens dramatically, and the local story of a teenager reportedly inventing waterskiing there in 1922. The homepage organizes the project through Games, Leaderboard, Studio, Devlog, and Play the reel links, while an “In the works” section signals that the slate is still developing.
