    I simply found this to be a boring game designed around a character that I could not relate to in any way. In fact the characters and writingI simply found this to be a boring game designed around a character that I could not relate to in any way. In fact the characters and writing in general just seemed to be too far removed from reality to really get into, which is a bad thing as the game seems to be entirely centered around it's story and character development in what is supposed to be a humble and realistic setting.

Lake is a very calming and relaxed experience, with very beautiful scenery and perfect music for the atmosphere the game tries to create. It's also not a game with a big mystery or plot twists. It is a game about a small town by the lake and its very characteristic characters.

But within what it sets out to do, it was a fun and at times exciting and touching experience, and as I said, very, very relaxing. Perfect game to escape the frenzy of other big games with big boss fights, etc. I will want to play more games from this studio.… Full Review »
