Lake Release Date: September 2, 2021
In Lake, protagonist Meredith exchanges her busy career in a software company for two weeks to fill in for her father, a mailman. The game is set in the idyllic town of Providence Oaks, Oregon. There, players get to decide who Meredith will talk to and befriend. Perhaps they can even start a romance. At the end of her tw0-week tenure, she will then have to decide whether to go back to her old job or stay in her hometown.
The game’s official Steam page paints the game as a charming, slice-of-life sim. Players will be able to meet a range of different characters with their own personalities, stories, and quirks. Alongside that, they will also be able to decide Meredith’s after-work activities. These include spending time with friends, helping neighbors, or just staying at home to read a book.
Lake will feature two weeks of branching stories and decisions full of slice-of-life themes. It also promises that there are no “right” or “wrong” answers or endings. Additionally, since the game is set in 1986, it will take players back quite a few decades in time. Lake’s world is one without smartphones and the internet being integral to daily life.
It looks like quite the wholesome, relaxing game perfect after a long day’s work. Again, the Lake release date is this Thursday, September 2, 2021.
