Latest Steam announcements

  • Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! - 27 November 2025

    We have added the option to adjust time of day and weather type in Endless Mode, for both Classic and Season's Greetings! Do you enjoy driving around at night time, tour the lake at golden hour, or are you more of a morning person? Are you partial to a slight drizzle, lots of sunshine, or perhaps prefer a good old thunderstorm? Or do you want to keep things festive with full-blown snowy vistas all day long? Just go to the Gameplay Settings menu in Endless Mode, and enjoy a mail delivery session in your favorite time and weather. Let it it snow, let it rain, let it shine! From all of us at Gamious, Happy Holidays!

  • Pet the Cats! - 8 August 2024

    A brand-new, highly asked-for feature has been added to Lake — you can now pet the cats that are lounging around Mildred’s home! Just like in real life, each cat is different and has their own unique response, so it’s up to you to determine how to earn their trust so you can give them all the pets… and maybe even that ever-elusive belly rub. Meredith can pet the cats in Lake Classic as well as Classic Endless Mode. Cats don’t really like the snow, you see. Who can blame them? Maybe Thomas... ;)

  • Endless Mode Patch 2 - 23 May 2024

    Fixed traffic jams. Cars will no longer wait infinitely. Fixed endless mode ring and knock animation issues for several addresses. Fixed tree draw distance issue. Trees will now correctly render across the Lake.

  • Now Available: Endless Mode! - 25 April 2024

    The people have spoken and they have spoken clearly! We weren't indifferent to the many requests for an endless mode, and were delighted to eventually put it on our to-do list as the next task to work on. So, here it finally is: Endless mode! If you can't get enough of driving around your favorite little laketown, get ready to deliver mail ad infinitum! And just to manage your expectations: there will be no stories or new dialogues, or any other mail carrier comedy-drama. Just a never-ending cycle of playable days with randomized delivery lists to fulfil at your own convenience. Endless mode is available for both Lake Classic and Season's Greetings environments. So start up Lake, hop in the mail truck, turn on the radio, and get cranking. Neither snow nor rain... as Frank Coleman would say: the mail doesn't deliver itself!

  • Season's Greetings is out now! - 15 November 2023

    Christmas came early this year! Grab a nice cup of cocoa and your favorite blanket, and jump right into the winter wonderland of Providence Oaks today! In Season’s Greetings, a prequel DLC to Lake, you’ll be transported back to beautiful Providence Oaks during the snowy waning days of 1985. Step into the shoes of Thomas Weiss, almost-retired postal worker and father to Lake’s protagonist Meredith. Delivering the mail is only half the story, as Thomas meets and helps out both old friends and new arrivals. How happy will their holidays be? Can everyone in Providence Oaks end 1985 with a bang? Once again, it’s up to you. To celebrate the launch of Season's Greetings, Lake will have a 60% discount (starting Wednesday, November 15 at 10 AM PST, ending Tuesday, November 21 at 10 AM PST). PS: This might get snowed under a bit (badum-tish!), but we have added Steam Cloud Saves to Lake. This all…

  • Lake DLC 'Season's Greetings' coming this holiday season! - 7 June 2023

    We're super happy to announce 'Season's Greetings', in which we return to our cozy little laketown Providence Oaks! You might wonder how Lake's story could continue with all the different endings it offered. Well, we were wondering the same, and that's why Season's Greetings is not a sequel, but a prequel! It's December 23, 1985, eight months before Meredith returns to Providence Oaks. You take on the role of her father, Thomas, and will be delivering the mail like he's been doing for years. We don't want to spoil too much, but what we can say is: It's the final days of the year, so expect Holiday Season happenings! P.O. will be covered in a blanket of snow, and cheered up with lots of Christmas lighting. Meet new characters, but you'll of course also see lots of familiar faces. Nancy will be complaining. Frank might be betting on sports. Mildred could need your help. Maureen will defin…

  • [Update 1.0.10.1] Stuck in transit - 14 February 2023

    This is a small patch that includes a few minor changes. After this update we will nog longer support Windows 8, as Microsoft has also ended support for it on January 10, 2023 Changes: Credits update. Added missing entries and fixed scrolling issue. Crash in main menu fixed. This was an issue that happened on most Windows 8 and 8.1 devices. A few clever users have solved this on their own by removing or renaming the file. We have now implemented a fix for this so you no longer have to tinker with the files to get the game running. Windows 8 no longer supported. The game will still be playable on Windows 8, but we will no longer offer support for Windows 8 specific issues. Fixed a localisation issue where English text would be displayed when another language is selected. We're still looking for a solution to the pesky audio bug. As always, if you encounter any bugs or issues, please crea…

They're available for a limited time only, so head over to the Makeship campaign site and let them be delivered as mail, instead of them delivering the mail!

  • A Steam Award for Lake? - 24 November 2021

    Lake lovers, listen up! The Steam Awards 2021 have kicked off, and the coming weeks will decide which games will get nonimated. It won't actually be the weeks that decide the nominations, but the players!

About this game

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, or stay in the town she grew up in? Play Lake and… Escape to a beautiful, rustic environment without cellphones and the Internet. Drive around the lake in your dad's trusty mail truck, or let the auto-pilot do the work. Talk to a range of engaging characters, each with their own personalities and quirks. Choose after-work activities: hang out with your friends, help out your neighbours or stay home and read a book. Experience two weeks of branching story that doesn't shy away from slice-of-life themes. Determine your own story: there are no 'right' or 'wrong' answers or endings, simply what you want to happen.

Steam marketplace comparison data

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $19.99
  • Highest observed: $19.99

Lake's USD price history spans from Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $19.99, the highest is $19.99, and the first visible tracked price is $19.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Lake's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $19.99, from Sep 22, 2026 through Sep 22, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $19.99. The latest run records $19.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $19.99
  • Current list price: $19.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Lake at $19.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
