Christmas has come to Providence Oaks, the idyllic small town in Oregon that sets the scene for Gamious' indie gem, Lake. After playing through the base game back in 2021, I once again find myself back behind the wheel of a mail truck thanks to the release of the holiday-themed DLC, Season's Greetings. And just a few minutes in, I realize I couldn't be happier to be back. I feel like I'm driving through a quaint little winter wonderland. Snow covers the streets like a pretty white blanket everywhere I look, and snowflakes lightly dust the tree tops that frame the roads just outside of the town center.
Pretty lights shaped like reindeer decorate the shops, and as I go from post box to post box delivering letters and parcels, I notice everyone's wrapped up warm with bobble hats and scarves. When I drive past the big lake at the heart of Providence Oaks, which is now completely frozen over, a mellow Christmas tune begins to play on the radio. What could be better than this right now, I think to myself. This is just what I need to get into the holiday mood.
