Lake - What it Means to Grow Up

Lake might be one of the most unique video game experiences I’ve played this year, and I’m unsure of how I feel about it. In this video, I take a look at its story, its gameplay, and its flaws to determine whether or not its worth playing. Is its thoughtful story and theme enough to make it worth a buy? How about its peaceful and serene gameplay? I hope you enjoy my video review/essay to figure out the answers to these questions.

About Lake: It's September 1, 1986. You take on the role of forty-something Meredith Weiss, who returns from the big city to her quiet hometown. She exchanges her busy career at a software company to fill in for her dad, the local mail carrier.
During her two-week stay in beautiful Providence Oaks, Oregon, she runs into a few familiar faces as well as plenty of new folks. As Meredith, you get to decide who to talk to, who to befriend and perhaps even start a romantic relationship with. Whatever happens, at the end of her stint she'll have to make up her mind: return to her demanding job in the big city, or stay in the town she grew up in?
