COMPANY TOWN

You know that cliché about the setting being a character in its own right? In Providence Oaks, it’s the other way round. The entirety of Lake’s worldbuilding is in the dozen or so faces regularly encountered on your route. The teenage mechanic. The maternal diner owner. The farmer-turned-radiopersonality. An old best friend almost forgotten. Two love interests. And the year’s most unexpected cameo. They’re broadly drawn, but Gamious has picked its details shrewdly.
