<\/strong>This peaceful circuit is perfect for the kind of person who tries to observe traffic laws when playing Grand Theft Auto<\/p>\n

When Meredith Weiss \u2013 a 44-year-old computer programmer with a demanding job and a pushy boss \u2013 returns to Providence Oaks, the small lake town in which she grew up, she thinks she\u2019s only going to be covering her father\u2019s mail route for two weeks. But actually \u2026 no, wait, that\u2019s exactly what does happen. There\u2019s no big twist in this gentle slice-of-life game about driving around a beautiful, entirely unremarkable American environment in a post van. I kept waiting for something a bit Twin Peaks to happen, or for some small-town drama to bubble up into something more exciting, but it never did. You deliver the post, you talk to residents, you gently examine Meredith\u2019s life choices. Once you abandon expectations for some action and sink into the daily rhythm, it\u2019s a relaxing time.<\/p>\n

I am a terrible mail person, though. I drive on the wrong side of the road, crash into things constantly, and park in the middle of the street. Thankfully, nobody really cares; the van can\u2019t get damaged, you can\u2019t drive into the lake, and you can\u2019t run anybody over. If you\u2019re the kind of person who actually tries to follow traffic laws in Grand Theft Auto, this will be your vibe. Set in 1986, the game keeps things to a very small cast of characters \u2013 Meredith\u2019s childhood best friend, the farmer who\u2019s also local radio DJ, a lumberjack, the owner of the new VHS store in town \u2013 and the rekindled relationships between them. Supporting actors such as Meredith\u2019s boss and her parents are only ever heard over the telephone.<\/p>\n
