More players can now access and experience the mail carrier simulation Lake.
Gamious and Whitethorn Games recently announced that they will port their popular cozy sim to the Nintendo Switch. Lake went live on Switch consoles beginning February 15, they said.
Lake's expansion to Switch came two years after it got ported to PS5 and PS4 and the now-defunct Stadia.
The critically acclaimed game was first released for PC, Xbox Series X and Xbox One in 2021. Since its launching, Lake has garnered positive reviews from both gamers and critics alike.
Set in 1986, players take control of the protaganist Meredith Weiss.
After leaving the big city, she returns to her lakeside hometown of Providence Oaks, Oregon for two weeks. They must guide the 40-year-old Meredith in helping her father deliver mail and parcels.
"During her two-week stay in beautiful Providence Oaks, Oregon, she runs into a few familiar faces as well as plenty of new folks," the game's description reads.
Aside from her carrier job, Lake contains mini-events such as after-work activities. This means Meredith can hang out with friends, help out your neighbors, or stay in with a good book.
The game also allows players to make choices along the way. These included deciding whom Meredith gets to talk to, befriend, and even start a relationship.
"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," publishers added.
Lake received multiple accolades since its launching such as being shortlisted for the Best Game in the Indie Arena Booth 2021. It was also named as an Official Selection for the LudoNarraCon Showcase 2021. On whatoplay, Lake has the highest playscore of 7.6 on PC./ ###
