The Lake: Season's Greetings DLC follows the holiday shenanigans of Thomas Weiss, and the other inhabitants of Providence Oaks, the setting of the base game story. Thomas is the father of Meredith Weiss, the protagonist of the original game, and in 1985 is the one and only mail carrier in town. This special holiday story gives players another cozy peek into life in this small town. We get a little more backstory for many iconic characters and get to know some new ones! Best of all, this slice of life narrative all takes place against the snow covered backdrop of this beautiful town.
In Episode 37 of No Small Games, and our second ever holiday episode, Kate and Emily are joined by Jacob Price of The Pre-Order Bonus Podcast, one of our favorite gaming podcasts! The three discuss their favorite movies to watch around Christmastime, Jacob shines some light on the buzz around Hot Frosty (the newest holiday "instant classic" to hit the scene), and the group shares their gifting recommendations in our Holiday Game Gift Guide. Of course, they also discuss their experiences playing the Lake: Season's Greetings DLC. We hope you love this episode, and that you have a peaceful and happy holiday season!
Spoiler Warning: listeners should note there are light spoilers for the games A Short Hike, Unpacking and Lake (the base game).
