It’s 1986 – 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.
In her 2-week of stay in her hometown, she will run into familiar faces as well as plenty of new folks. As Meredith, you will get to decide who you want to talk to, who to befriend, and perhaps even start a romantic relationship with. Whatever your choices, in the end you have to decide if you want to move back to your career in the big city, or stay in the calm and quiet town Meredith has grown up in.
