Whitethorn Games :
Looking for another excuse to visit the peaceful town of Providence Oaks? Well, developer Gamious and Whitethorn Games have a great one for you. Today (on National Cat Day, nonetheless), a brand-new, highly asked-for feature has been added to Lake on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation — you can now pet the cats that are lounging around Mildred’s home! Just like in real life, each cat is different and has their own unique response, so it’s up to you to determine how to earn their trust so you can give them all the pets… and maybe even that ever-elusive belly rub.
In celebration of the new update, you can purchase Lake on Steam at a 50% discount starting today until August 14.
But that’s not all — in addition to the Pet the Cat update, a new Endless Mode, recently released on PC, has been added for Xbox and PlayStation players! If you can’t get enough of the sleepy little town by the lake after you’ve finished the main story, you can now jump back into The Goose and keep on delivering mail to the eclectic residents as long as you’d like — no new stories, no additional dialog, just some scenic and relaxing driving around beautiful Providence Oaks.
About Lake
Travel back to 1986 and take on the role of 40-something-year-old Meredith, who leaves the fast-paced drudgery of her big city life and returns to her quiet, rustic hometown. During her two-week stay in the beautiful lakeside community of Providence Oaks, Oregon, she’ll fill in for her father – the local mail carrier – where she will not only deliver letters and parcels to new and old friendly faces but will also rekindle old friendships, make new ones, and maybe even find romance.
At the end of her vacation, will Meredith return to the big city, or will she choose a different path for her life? It’s up to players to steer the story how they see fit in this slice-of-life interactive game.
Key Features of Lake include:
Travel back to 1986 and escape to a beautiful, rustic town that is free of the stresses of smartphones, the Internet, and social media.
Ditch that city life and desk job and go to drive your father's mail truck in rural Oregon, or kick up your feet and let auto-pilot do the work.
Choose from a variety of after-work activities that include hanging with friends, helping out your neighbors, or staying in with a good book.
Experience a branching story that doesn’t shy away from slice-of-life themes. Like life, there are no right or wrong answers.
Lake is now available on PC via Steam or Epic Games Store, on PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch for $19.99 USD. The Pet the Cat update and Endless-Mode are now available for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation platforms.
