Multiple Endings

Multiple Endings: There are three possible endings: Meredith can choose to return to her job in the big city, now as a partner with a 20% stake in the company. Meredith can choose to stay in Providence Oaks and take over as the mail carrier full-time. This ending allows her to stay with Robert if she romanced him. If she kept June and Mickey's RV and then gave it to Angie, Meredith can choose to leave in the RV with her. This ending allows her to stay with Angie if she romanced her.

Captain Ersatz: There are things around town obviously meant to evoke something specific from the 80's, like a a knockoff of Mr. T cereal (yes, that really happned). Plus all of the movies on the rental store shelves are parodies of real movies of the era (although all the movies mentioned in Angie's sidequest route are real, oddly enough)

 Lake (Video Game) / int_41dce76e
comment
Small Town Boredom: Lori finds Providence Oaks boring, though she loves her mechanic work, because she doesn't have any friends since there aren't a lot of kids in town much less ones her age, and she tells Meredith that she can't wait to be old enough to get out of town. Played straight or averted for Maureen, depending on whether the player chooses to stay or leave in the end.

Bisexual Love Triangle

comment
Bisexual Love Triangle: Downplayed but present with Meredith's two potential love interests, Angie and Robert. Robert is a manly but sweet lumberjack and small town lifer who multiple townsfolk encourage Meredith to pursue romantically and whose happy romance ending involves Meredith settling down in her hometown. Angie, on the other hand, is an LA native and free spirit ahead of her time who is never acknowledged as a potential romantic partner for Meredith by anyone in town and whose happy romance ending involves Meredith setting out with her in an RV for parts unknown.
