- All endings for the game Lake. HIT LIKE & SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE CHILL INDIE LETS PLAYS AND FIRST LOOKS. This wholesome game is an open world mail delivery story game. Here is a collection of all the endings I have found, going back and replaying the last chapter. The endings have variations within 3 main themes, staying in your hometown, going back to the big city, and leaving with Angie to travel in the camper van. Whether or not you strike up a relationship with Robert seems optional if you choose to stay.

Not all the endings, lol. I followed one path of being nice and having flirtations the first time, the second time, I did nothing for anyone. I decided to keep the RV and in the end, I went off on an adventure by myself (no Angie and no Robert). It was pretty cool. It's different than all the other endings I've seen. It does make the game more boring, though, as you do nothing except the Wednesday campfire thing so you can get the RV.
I love how when you get roberts ending you just get in his car and abandon your mail truck and job duties to go get some pie with your new man 😂😂😂
Yeah that was a lil sudden huh!😂
Oh to be a lovebird in the 80s!
Well i always seem to abandon my mail truck. Meaning every time I stop on main street and deliver a package, ten cars are piled up waiting for me to move.
Best choice imo 😂❤
Really wish you could take Angie back to the city. She could open a video store there and get all the business she wanted...
Im confused why this wasnt an option. She wanted a fresh start. Also there wasnt a goodbye with her.
We got da same profile picture
I guess it would sort of be antithetical to the whole point of the story. Like you are supposed to think if what brings you happiness is your career and money (going back to the city) or if it's stability and stress free simplicity (staying in the town) or following your heart to adventures (RV trip) and decide. The romances pretty clearly reflect this too as the home life with a lumberjack is a safe option but being openly gay with Angie in the 80's is definitely a radical choice.
If you could get the following your heart with Angie and the money it'd kind of defeat the point of choosing as it'd just be the obvious best choice. What kind of messes the game over in my mind is that you can play the game in a way that allows you to get it all at the end so then not getting it all at the actual end feels off. If I had to actually ever choose in the game whether or not I'd have a date night with Robert or Angie or if I worked and it'd actually lock me out of some endings that'd be far better thematically.
It kinda sucks though, since that was definitely the ending I was gunning for while playing. It would have been nice to actually have like the option of bringing it up with Angie at least like hey do you wanna come with?
Dude that is the end I was playing towards. It all lined up perfectly! Her talking about how the vhs business is about to blow up but not in a small town. Em helping steve with the mmmmmmonster deal and him making her his number two when he became CEO. I was like hell yeah gonna take Angie and whisk her away to NYC so I can work my baller Executive job and help finance her movie rental business in the big apple.
Aaannnnnnnnnnd nope. No option for that ending.... HOW DID THE DEVELOPERS NOT WRITE IN THAT ENDING?!?! IT WAS PERFECT.
It made so much more sense for Angie's movie buff of a character. But no instead she goes off and travels around in an RV like a hippy??? Where the hell did that come from?
This infuriated me more than it probably should have.
@@bestintheworld7090 ye
I decided to go to back to my job. She's a studied programmer and more women should be in that business. I also was a little bored by the tedious work delivering mail to empty houses, so would she after some months.
However, the end felt flat and as I can see now, the others aren't any better. The designer should have show a small slide show of some polaroid pictures about what will happen to her the next years.
Favorite moment in the game: driving trough the thunderstorm in the night.
Robert is so awkward, and I never picked his endings but I am dying at the "I don't know what to say to you now" 😂
Robert is a creep every playthrough
how is he a creep? genuinely curious @@zoso1up
think my game glitched, i put effort into the photos just for all of them to be black...
I absolutely love this game. I felt Angie been showed romantic interests. & We knew something was up, when everytime she invited Meredith out, we had the option to pick "is this a date?"
Robert, on the other hand, gave me strong friend vibes. I feel he got a bit lonely and started looking at Meredith in a love interest way at the veryy last diner scene. But it still wasn't enough to pick him.
Plus, the mail delivery was too repetitive. Being in a town she grew up in was too safe and a comfort zone. & The big city had big money, but she never had time to check up on loved ones or do anything.
SO, everything led to Angie. The adventure, the multiple dates and talks they had, and the chemistry! LOVE this game!
I was pretty dead set on leaving back to the big city but remembered this isn't real life right about when Robert almost committed vehicular manslaughter to get the girl - Obviously, I had to stay!
I’m ngl, when I first played Lake I absolutely hated it. The truck controlled like a whale, Meredith walks slower than a turtle, and things just felt very slow. But honestly, looking back at it a few months later, I feel like it gave off a much bigger point. I think this game honestly takes a lot of perspective to be respected and enjoyed, and when I first played I didn’t have the right one
Reading these comments make me realize we all had different views of each character.
My play through Angie just closes shop and leaves without saying goodbye & I get a postcard, I hated that she kept calling me ‘babe’ lol.
oh no!
@@MadMorph I didn't pursue anything romantic, probably why she skipped town.
Angie got on my last nerve lol 😂
@@bad_news_bear8102 Yeah, she's pretty intense!
Angie is literally Chloe from Smallville
Wait, so ending #3 is the secret ending? That's the one I got first lol. So funny when Angie mentioned Meredith's driving. Even funnier considering the possible perspective that the devs assumed everyone to drive at least somewhat badly throughout the game! 😂
Secret in as much as we all expected to choose between big city and small town, so I consider leaving in the R.V to travel to be this sort of mystery option for the game that I wasn't expecting
@@MadMorph Ah fair enough. I considered the endings to be based off the romance options, so "The Robert Ending," "The Angie Ending," and the "Alone Ending"
Aw, I was hoping the "secret ending" is about hooking up with that nerd playing on a computer. That would be neat, lol!
Yeah, I really wanted Meredith to stay in Providence Oaks, so I couldn't bring myself to leave with Angie. I wish there'd been an option to save Angie's business and have her move in with Meredith so they could watch movies together every night.
As it was, Robert left me cold, so I just ended up with Meredith living romance-less (but content) on her own.
I ended up just going back to my job. I wish It would have shown what happens when she gets back or something. Angie was rude and too forward and Robert didn't show enough interest for me to leave my job. Seemed like the most logical option.
That's exactly what I thought, too. I just finished playing it a few days ago.
I tried to romance the motel guy. Dropped in on that bastard everyday, even if he didn’t have any deliveries…take a hint man!
Part of me secretly hoped that he would be impressed that Meredith worked in programming, but no.
I just finished playing this and i got the Meredith leaves with Angie in the RV ending, Great Video dude, Keep up the great work.
Thanks!
I just finished this game, I feel like it lacked a little character development, but in general, I was happy with the number of dialogs available. I deeply think perspective changes a lot how you see the endings. Like Meredith, I consider myself an accomplished professional woman, and I often find myself in her place. I sacrificed most of my twenties studying to have a solid career but at what cost? When you put out your head from your work is very easy to find yourself alone, and there's no amount of money that can buy life quality. Most of the comments criticize this but I think as a society there's a huge lack of empathy towards this point, even more from a woman's perspective. From the beginning of the game, I was doubting about going back to the stress and responsibilities of the big city, I just needed a good reason to leave it, but the game doesn't give you one. I would never make a decision based on just wanting to stay with another person. The conversation with the cook-lady hit me deeply, and I realized that even if I chose to stay a little more in P.O, if she got bored, Meredith could always return to the big city. She had a title and plenty of job experience, maybe she wasn't going to be a CEO´s second in command nor a multimillionaire but she could always find another good job.
In the end, I decided to stay in P.O a little longer and got the Robert ending in the middle of the delivery, for me it was the icing on the cake and I hopped right into the car. It wasn't as if Meredith was going to get married to Robert xd, they were just two adults, wondering if they could work together as a couple, giving each other a chance. It looked really mature and I liked that you can get directly into the car, and the options of hugging and kissing are separate since for me it didn't make sense to actually kiss him yet. Overall I really liked the game, but I understand someone younger wouldn't understand Meredith´s dilemma of coming back to her stressful city life. She was going to go back to an amazing contract and tons of money, but would she be able to enjoy it? she would be subjected to even more stress and less free time for at least 5 years, and, as her friend said, times fly and pass you by.
Thanks for the other endings! (I couldn't tolerate the blond LI, she was in a totally different life stage, she was funny though, as a friend)
I spent my 20s looking for a career and found it in a big city and I have no love for the podunk towns I grew up in. Em's life was stressful, but other than an ass of a boss, I feel like she'd have spent her time to get exactly where she was. Throwing it all away so she can play Hallmark Movie #341 makes so little sense. On the other hand, I'm a supportive partner and I've always tried to support people in their dreams, even if that meant leaving me behind. Maybe because I'm gay, but it was a lot easier to make the choice to leave PO behind with someone. Almost everyone in PO was a rude asshole. Your childhood friend is an asshole. An old woman can't remember your name. A hotel clerk is an asshole. The general store owner is an asshole. The fisherman is an asshole. Frank and Jack are both assholes. The only people who aren't are some lumberguy and a 15 year old girl.
I'm glad you did (and ty for answering me) but I wrote my experience since I felt no one was explaining this option and why for some of us it made sense. I'm glad you found your job, I'm a city person too, I wasn't saying I would like to hang around town forever, I think I make it clear that she could go back whenever she wanted, is just that I thought she wasn't ready to go back to the city, she was clearly burned, it happens a lot with jobs that have tons of responsibility and I identified with that.
On the other side, I'm not unsupportive but I'm not going to be with someone that needs my support to make their life project, I can support them, but I don't want someone who cannot do it without me, I like my partner on the independent side, as I am.
And for the people in town, yeah they are assholes just as people in the city, it isn't because of the people, is just the slower pace of a rural town, sometimes people like me needs it to get their energy back. Hope you're doing great.
Yeah, I just ended up friend-zoning everyone. At least Meredith will have a nice calm life now by the lake.
Same lol
Angie was asking too much of me. I get that she didn't have a livelihood in Providence Oaks anymore, but I felt it was where Meredith belonged. A life on the road didn't seem like the best option for Meredith, in my opinion.
I’m so confused because it seemed like the entire town was secretly on drugs / selling drugs. And the game is 18+ for hard drug use? Was anyone else expecting to discover a massive drug scandal???
It’s because you van smoke a joint when the campers dudes leave I guess
Ikr that’s why I’m here I saw this game and than saw the r 18 rating and really got curious thinking there’s like some messed up twist to this wholesome looking game
@@sebbirch1571 ong
@@sebbirch1571 There's cannabis in the game. So yes, it is a +18. It is stupid, but it is the rule in every game.
Loved this game. To play a game with the older style game play and some clean fun was really refreshing. Had some life is strange element to it at times. I'd love to have an episodic version next!
"What are you? A poet now?
or a SERIAL KILLER"
LMAO this caught me off guard XDDD
… I didn’t realize there was a way to stop Angie from leaving halfway through the game 💀💀
oh shit !
which one!!!
wait whaaaat
Wait how?!
Do we have to be better at choosing movies LMAOO cus I deliberately chose bad ones 💀💀 I did end up leaving w Angie at the end tho so ig it wouldn't matter since I didnt wanna stay
Thanks for this. I watched Drae's playthrough of this and I was curious what the other endings were. I'm super glad you can end up with Robert :D
Every time I played this game, I've always ended it with Meredith and Angie leaving Providence Oaks.
I appreciate you posting this. I must not have been forward enough with Angie as she did not show up at the post office.
I went back to the big city and then I replayed the last bit and chose Robert. The game does not make it easy though to go through the final choices
I wanted Meredith and Angie to end up together, but I didn't like that just as they start getting close Angie's basically like "Alright, time to get the fuck out of this town!" When Angie said that she hoped Meredith's plans involved her, I was hoping there'd be an ending where they could stay in town and get her business back up and running. I was already planning on staying, so it was kind of sad when I had to turn her down when she wanted to hit the road.
Side note: Robert turned super weird. Cuts her off, tells her to get in his truck. Like, bro, I've given you zero signals that we're anything other than friends. Relax. 😬
Yes, this was exactly the same experience I had with the game! I liked Angie but wished that her life goals had been more in line with Meredith's (which in my case meant staying in Providence Oaks).
As for Robert, when was there /ever/ any frisson between him and Meredith? I guess I /was/ always purely business when we talked about the plan to build apartments by the lake, but he was just always making excuses to go do maintenance on Mo's Diner rather than trying to engage with Meredith in any meaningful way.
I just finished this game. Angie left and I got worried 😭😭😭 and then the postcard came in and I was happy for Meredith. Whenever I did stuff with the Lumberjack he always made it clear he didn’t want a thing with Meredith so he made it easy.
Literally I felt 0 chemistry between her and the lumberjack
@@MadMorph yup, it’s weird that you could just end up with him tho. Maybe I have to discover different dialogue but ever since the meeting at the diner when Maureen said love birds he made it super clear.
did you get to the part where they both sang together "we are the world"? haha
XD I'm the same way, Robert is 100% friend material. Angie is definitely a great choice
@@gladysdianepalatino9019 I did! Haha. I really liked the relationship between the two! I chose to be romantic with Angie (even if I decided to go back to the city so I was forced to leave Angie too), but at the end Robert came up and the dialogue was very different from this one on the video. She said she couldn't leave her job for a lumberjack and he was like "yes you can, hop in the car" I found that really offensive lol. She asked him to go with her to the city and he was like "hell no, I wouldn't survive a day" and she said "so you wouldn't leave PO for me, but I must leave my job for you?" YOU GO GURL! During that dialogue I realized it was the right choice not leaving the job for this guy lol
Did you get the part where you can kiss or hug Robert? Cause my first play I got to kiss Angie then later to the end kissed Robert. Lol
M getting in on a piece of the action? Nice. And Robert proving my big, sensitive guys with facial hair = big romance theory..."Hey, you're a woman, get in the car, *smooch* want some pie? "Yes sir, I DO!!😂 Still like your first play ending the best! Thanks for doing these too, fun to see em!
It was an entertaining game but the characters didnt catch me, probably they could have Meredith to review what she did during the day instead of just watching tv or reading a book. So many cold characters.
Thank you for the video! ❣
I chose to go back to the city life. Felt bad for Robert. As a guy I can definitely see myself in his situation. Also felt bad leaving best friend (Kay) behind as well as Maureen. Kay has her own family and is taking over the diner anyway. But it totally made sense to go back to big city. Meredith has a MIT degree, so must be super qualified for her job. That monster deal netted their company over $8 million dollars and they want to make her partner? Even if she just stuck to the 5 year deal, I'm sure she would' ve made enough money to retire early. Her parents relocated to Florida and I assumed the big city was located on the East Coast. She would be "closer" to her family. Plus, her parents don't sound super rich, seeing as dad worked in postal service and mom worked at Motel, hence the big job in big city would benefit her family in the long run. If I was Meredith, I'd take the big job, tell parents to sell their house in P.O. and enjoy retirement in Florida. I'd have enough money to visit P.O. on occasion, but sad reality is that I'd gradually live my own life in NY/Boston and visit the folks in Florida for holidays. Who knows? Maybe even find love on the east coast
wanna figure out how to do this in real life
did the math, with the new deal included, meredith would have had to work her butt off and put herself through a lot of stress for around 25 years total... damn... not sure if that's what i want for my life
My ending isn’t here lmao I friend zoned everyone and just left 😂
What I don't get about this game is.... I chose to stay and work at the post office.... But then she leaves with Angie... So, is she still working as a postman/woman, or did she just abandon the town? If she abandon the town, why did I get the choice to continue working there?
I really did enjoy this game I wish there was a physically release so I could stick it on my collection
I’m so in love with Angie I really wanted to stay in P.O but I also wanted to be with her so I left with her. I’m happy and I imagine that we cuddle and watch horror movies when we’re not driving
This can't be all the endings. What if you take the RV trip but say no to Angie coming along? Or if you stay in town and reject Robert? I can't find those endings anywhere and I don't want to spend an hour replaying from my last save point twice.
There are similar endings to these. If you stay in town and reject Robert, simply you drive alone and nothing occurs. If you take the RV alone, without Angie... mmm I'm not sure if I lived this ending... I think Robert would also stop you, and you can go with him or reject him.
I forgot to save at the end so I could see all the endings for myself and I wasn't doing all those deliveries again
No simp Meredith was my favorite 😂😂😂
is there a forth ending where you can explore in the RV alone? I noticed a dialogue option when talking to Frank "i'm gonna go on a roadtrip"
no the road trip is just referring to leaving with angie.
Yes, I got that ending.
@@daneherron7014 i played through it again and did get to do the road trip alone and kept the RV for myself instead after Angie had already left :)
Dunno if you've heard of Limmy but he recently watched your video on stream mate. Funny stuff.
Thanks for telling me! Limmy is hilarious, that's really cool
I found it weird how the game makes it *MUCH* easier for players to accidentally have Meredith stumble into a rushed & improbable mid 80s lesbian discovery with Angie than establishing a romance with Robert. I was totally caught off guard by the fact that literally the first time Meredith hangs out with Angie after like 2 or 3 casual chats at her video store while making her deliveries, I was abruptly given the option out of nowhere to have Meredith kiss Angie, regardless of the purely platonic dialogue choices prior. This can happen halfway through the game, which enables the player to continue interacting with Angie with a now romantic dynamic clearly established.
The romance with Robert however can't be established until literally the very end of the game & is entirely contingent on Meredith leaving her career to stay in Providence Oaks for him. Almost as if saying "See you should have gone with Angie!", the developers of this game even give the player the dialogue option of calling Robert out for being a selfish hypocrite for expecting Meredith to abruptly give up her career for him on the spot when he isn't willing to do the same by leaving with her. So yeah I think the developers had a clear bias on the direction they wanted to the player to go.
Yea to me a lesbian relationship to be that upfront about it seemed very unrealistic for that era. They acted like there was no taboo concerning being a lesbian during the 80s 😂
so can you not choose to stay in p.o. but not be with robert? i just played through myself and chose to run off with angie hehe
@Daniel Irving good to know! i need to go back and play through again :)
I got the ending with Robert Harris as Meredith's love interest and made her go into his car. Best version in my opinion.
didnt expect Robert's love confession so he got me to stay and we drove off together in his truck, was planning on leaving in the rv
this game was so chill and awkward Roberts so lol
I hate my 2nd ending where I don't get Angie neither Robert. Where is the 4th ending where I can keep them both lol jk
If you choose to stay, can you keep delivering mail?
i got the Meredith and Angie head out in the RV ending, only i kept the RV for me, didnt give it to angie
I was actually soo sad that the game was over. I wanted to go back to the city and do a different job lol
7 September 1986 is not Sunday.
well done mate, pretty sure Lake is just a video game too.
But.. it is, man just google it
I stayed in P.O with Robert. I thought it was such a sweet ending!
Secret ending when?
In my mind Roberts going with Meredith to big city. Doesn't make sense if Meredith can make lots of money and Robert loves her but in the end he is not going with her. Considering the possibilities Robert needs to go with her. This is not true love at all
I Will get all 3 endings the bad ending for me is go back to the city. Just no big no. But I have to for all endings
There's a 4th ending where You, Robert and Angie sneak in Mo's dinner and have a private "Open Mic" session.
again no my ending
I totally went on adventures with my bae, Angie. Absolutely loved this game
wow, that robert ending was terrible
road trip, alone
Sadly Meredith soo sounds like a 40+ y.o. woman, rather than a 30 something single.
I think she is exactly 40, I remember her mentioning "22 years" since she had last seen Kay in high school
The Steam Store page description literally states that she's in her 40s. ;)
@@JohnBart86 Well that fits! :) Thanks.
loved this game but i hateed everyone but the main character
