‣ Final notes: Lake is a very small and niche game. On one side it is a very simplistic and poorly designed game with weak voice acting, awkward dialogue and rough gameplay. However, I still liked the vibes this game was creating. In all the rough I could still see the passion and love that has went into making this game. The story is very simple, but the characters you meet in the two-week delivery journey are interesting. Fuck Maureen and her quivering voice though. I was honestly surprised how much choice the game gives you. From what I understand there are three different ending you can pick, which is honestly rare in games, especially such small ones. All in all, the game is not terrible, but it is bland and generic. The idea is fun, and Providence Oaks is a very cozy and welcoming place to explore. Shame there was so little you could do in terms of gameplay. A telltale version of this game would’ve probably been more beneficial.
