Welcome to the game called Lake! It’s September 1, 1986. You take on the role of forty-something Meredith Weiss, who returns from the big city to her quiet hometown. She exchanges her busy career at a software company to fill in for her dad, the local mail carrier. During her two-week stay in beautiful Providence Oaks, Oregon, she runs into a few familiar faces, as well as plenty of new folk. As Meredith, you get to decide who to talk to, who to befriend and perhaps even start a romantic relationship with. Whatever happens, at the end of her stint she’ll have to make up her mind: return to her demanding job in the big city, drive away in her RV, or stay in the town she grew up in?


Stage 1 – Play through the Story.


Play through the story and choose an ending. After completing one ending, you can continue and you will be back near the end of the story once again. This time choose the second ending. This process will repeat, and finally you can choose the third ending.

Note: Complete the following during your playthrough:
1. On Day 5 or 6 you need to visit the Reynold’s Farm and talk to the man in the green jacket who is using a metal detector on either side of the laneway to the Farmhouse.

(Note: It is possible to find him on different days and in different locations.)
2. Visit the Church landmark.
3. Visit the Watch Tower and walk to the top of it.
4. Choose to help Steve at every opportunity with the Addit ’87 software and review the contract.
5. Help out Mildred with her cat problem.
6. Help out Angie by taking the Moviebox to Lori and Burt.

Note: You can make manual saves and reload them after completing all three endings. There will be multiple days to choose from to save you time if you miss a trophy along the way.

Stage 2 – Replay if needed.


If you missed any trophies, you can reload the game and there will be multiple saves automatically within this menu, you can choose any of the days to continue the story from to earn whatever trophies that you missed. However, if you do not have saves, you will have to complete whatever part is needed for the remaining trophies.
