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 a make up her mind: return to her demanding job in the big city, or stay in the town she grew up in?
Features
- Escape to a beautiful, rustic environment without cellphones and the internet.
