Lakeside Has No Lake!!

Lakeside Has No Lake!!, developed and published by FzzyBzzy, is a short indie horror experience that blends survival mechanics with a deliberately offbeat sense of humor and a strangely personal narrative tone. The premise is simple but immediately unsettling: you step into the shoes of Wolfie, a character searching for his missing girlfriend in a quiet, abandoned town that feels wrong from the moment you arrive. The absence of the lake referenced in the title becomes an early symbol of the game’s overall mood, hinting at a reality that is slightly distorted and never fully explained. The gameplay revolves around exploration and combat within a compact environment. The town acts as a small but interconnected space that players gradually move through while uncovering pieces of the story. Unlike more traditional survival horror games that emphasize scarcity, this one gives the player a shotgun with unlimited ammunition, shifting the tension away from resource management and toward direct confrontation. This decision creates a different kind of pacing, where players are encouraged to engage with enemies rather than avoid them. The presence of permadeath, however, ensures that mistake…

A fun and short game about a femboy finding his girlfriend in a horror filled world. Though in my opinion it should have been longer, but its ok.

Had me edging the entire time

Was certainly an experience. The bits about sexual OCD felt just, out of place, I would say. In general it was fine, wasn't bad but there was no progression or anything challenging. It's more or less a walking sim with microsoft sam narrating notes you find. Was a fun way to spend 15 mins (you can beat it in about this time).

This game, like all other of the developer's works, wears it's crudeness and avant-garde nature on it's sleeve. Yes, it is true, this game feels like it was pulled out of the depths of a grimey Discord server, but I think there's something way more special here than just what could be compared to a student project. And you can't deny that each game shapes up to be better and more interesting than it's predecessor
