Whitethorn Games is taking us to Providence Oaks in time for the holidays on November 15th with the cozy Lake: Season’s Greetings DLC.
This holiday season, take on the role of Thomas Weiss, Meridith’s father, during the winter of 1985, one year before the original Lake. This Lake DLC will let players take a deeper look inside the Weiss family from a brand-new perspective.
Experience Providence Oaks in a whole new, snow-covered way while you play as someone who has lived there long-term. Lake: Season’s Greetings will bring back characters you know and love but also introduce us to five brand-new characters with individual storylines.
More good news! Season’s Greetings will hopefully answer some questions left over from the base game. The gameplay will also be familiar, as it will “continue to focus on slice-of-life themes and relaxing vibes, this time embedded in a comfy holiday setting.”
Key features of Lake: Season’s Greetings include:
- Travel back to 1985 and discover what Providence Oaks was like before Meredith through the eyes of her father during the winter holiday.
- Enjoy a variety of after-work activities that include hanging with friends, staying in for a night of television, and going out like it’s 1985.
- Experience a branching story that doesn’t shy away from slice-of-life themes. Like life, there are no right or wrong answers.

The original game has over 2000 positive reviews on Steam. For players new to Providence Oaks, here is the synopsis from Steam, “Meredith Weiss takes a break from her career in the big city to deliver mail in her hometown. How will she experience two weeks in beautiful Providence Oaks, with its iconic lake and quirky community? And what will she do next? It’s up to you.”
Lake is available now on Steam or Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Xbox One and Series X|S. If you want to spend your holiday with the Weiss’s, Lake: Season’s Greetings will be available for purchase on November 15, 2023.
