Lake Review (Zenbe)
This is one of those games where I wish steam would give your more than a "yes or no" answer for a rating, but the state it is in right now, I'll have to give it a NO.
I like the idea of the setting and core gameplay. relaxing little game in which you drive around a small countryside town, delivering mail, while having conversations that help you come to terms with your life. But the execution is very lacking.
First of all, it feels like the story should take place over a longer time, like at least 3 to 4 weeks. Enough time for Meredith to somewhat settle in. But even within the short time frame the game has, there's really not enough going regarding side activities, making the mail delivery feel like busywork after a certain point.
Many of the dialogue choices you make don't really feel like they matter.
And the bugs are one of the biggest issue. Especially since this is a story driven game like this. Some of the cutscenes will just stop playing while the dialogue continues. The dialogue will randomly skip audio lines. And during the final events of the game, it just played completely different audio that didn't line up with my choices at all.
I'd refund it if I still could.
