Perfect Tides: Station to Station

The sequel is Perfect Tides: Station to Station, a point-and-click adventure that follows 18-year-old Mara through the year 2003.

The game explores the momentum and whiplash of young adulthood, with Mara collecting and applying objects, ideas, and experiences to perfect her craft and find a place in the world. Like the original, it features seasonal acts, non-linear exploration, and branching outcomes.

Key features include over 60 new environments to explore, streamlined and expanded mechanics for interacting with rooms and collecting objects, and an innovative inventory system where Mara collects names and subjects that feed her understanding through conversation, experience, and memory. The choices players make—whether Mara grows as a writer or languishes in stale notions—affect the story's outcome.

Perfect Tides: Station to Station is part of developer Meredith Gran's broader exploration of time, love, sexuality, creative drive, and the buried past through the game medium.
