Hey everyone! It's your lad, Galaxy Gaymer!
When it comes to indie games, they tend to have a one-of-a-kind charm that I feel can't be showcased in games by huge studios. The stories can often be a lot deeper, and you can often feel how much love is put into the games. I feel like this is why we are so easily drawn to them.
Lake is beautiful indie adventure game set in 1986 that follows the story of Meredith who returns from the big city to her small hometown of Providence Oaks, Oregon to fill in as the local mail carrier for two weeks. During this two weeks, Meredith must complete mail deliveries daily, all whilst building relationships with the locals of the town. The way you talk to each person will help decide who you befriend, who you will basically hate, and who you could become more than friends with.
I really love the simplistic beauty of Lake. It really showcases the beauty that seems to only come from art styles from indie developers. Lake is a very good example of an amazing game that isn't overly complicated. This is also complimented by the soundtrack that just feels so fitting for the game. I also really love that there is a streamer mode that allows you to cut out the music that could give you a copyright strike while creating content for it. It's a really nice and considerate touch that all games should have honestly.
I highly recommend this game for any indie lovers who are looking for a game with solid storytelling and really incredible characters. I feel like the more days you play in game, the more the characters develop, along with you relationship with them. This is a huge highlight of the game that I absolutely fell in love with upon playing it. There are a few small glitches in the game too, but honestly, some of them make the game even better as weird as it sounds. I will definitely be playing this game again very soon.

Have a nice day!
Love, Galaxy Gaymer
