Lake is essentially a story based adventure, where you play as a postal worker in 1980's america temporarily covering your fathers position. You will make decisions along the way whilst delivering letters and parcels across the small lake town.

Whilst the gameplay is simple, there is not much around in terms of parcel delivery games, which is how i ended up with this game. And until something else is created that works this is the best i could find. Its by no means a simulation however once you have completed the storyline mode there is also a endless mode allowing you to just deliver parcels

This said so far in endless mode the game is NOT taking advantage of the entire map and is only replicating deliveries around the post office making for a less than pleasing experience. It should be using the entire map.

which is what i was after.... the fact endless mode falls this short was the reason for the thumbs down. the delivery aspect is the primary reason for purchasing the game and it has to include more than just town centre locations, on a already small map

the storyline mode itself returns around 5hrs gameplay from start to finish, some choices will affect outcomes and others will loop around regardless of your decisions. In addition to this you can decide how in depth your relationship with each character is by the dialouge options presented to you during the game

As someone who has worked in this industry for a spell i prefer and wanted just the parcel delivery aspect (admittingly more of a simulation based game) but until one arrives this is certainly pleasant enough of an experience.



The steam overlay does not work very well with this game, and....

there is no wheel support with in the game, but basic controller support is there, and you are not able to redefine the keys. you dont load the van but you can complete the rather small repetivite route in any order you desire. I wasnt blown away with the storyline and did my best to avoid as much as possible in the end it left me thinking groundhog day for some reason.

But until somebody makes a very seriously good parcel delivery simulator then this is the best on offer to my own research...
