Call of the Lake asks a quiet question. What if the water you swam in as a child was hungry and you never noticed. This 2026 visual novel horror casual adventure RPG point and click game from StarryFrame Games follows a historian who inherits a lakeside cottage from a relative who vanished without a trace. The lake is beautiful at first glance, but something stirs beneath the reeds. You must navigate the town uneasy social circles, decode cryptic messages left in bottles, and decide whether to trust the old fisherman or the reclusive artist. The latest version adds a diving mechanic where you explore underwater caves, but each dive costs oxygen and risks your sanity.
