Description
Three Bees, the acclaimed indie developer, has officially announced that Perfect Tides: Station To Station, their forthcoming point-and-click narrative adventure, is in development for the Nintendo Switch.
This visually striking coming-of-age story is slated for a global digital release on the Nintendo eShop in 2025, signaling the company’s continued commitment to delivering story-driven experiences to Nintendo’s popular hybrid console.
Perfect Tides: Station To Station is written and designed by Meredith Gran, creator of the celebrated webcomic Octopus Pie.
Building upon the foundation set by the original Perfect Tides, this sequel puts players in the shoes of Mara, an 18-year-old protagonist embarking on her college journey in a bustling metropolitan environment after leaving her serene island home.
The game aims to authentically capture the uncertainty, excitement, and challenges that come with a young woman’s first steps into adulthood.
Players will guide Mara through her transformative first year away from home, as she pursues her dreams of becoming a writer.
Each season brings fresh opportunities and obstacles—balancing academic responsibilities, forging friendships, and exploring potential romances.
The dynamic branching narrative ensures Mara’s choices impact not only her relationships but also her creative growth, as players help her develop her voice through everyday experiences, whether in the classroom or during social interactions.
The results culminate in Mara’s written essays, which can range from inspired masterpieces to chaotic ramblings, each reflecting her evolving sense of identity.
Meredith Gran, founder of Three Bees, underscored the thematic resonance between the game’s setting and the Nintendo Switch’s inherent portability.
"Much of Mara’s introspection occurs while riding the city’s mass transit system," Gran shared in an official statement.
"Bringing Perfect Tides: Station To Station to Nintendo Switch allows players to literally take Mara’s journey with them, mirroring their own travels and life transitions."
The original Perfect Tides earned praise for its nuanced exploration of adolescence, sharply written dialogue, and evocative pixel art, securing a dedicated fan base within the indie game community.
With Station To Station, Three Bees and Meredith Gran expand upon this legacy by focusing on young adulthood—a period marked not just by external change, but by self-discovery, ambition, and emotional growth.
Perfect Tides: Station To Station is expected to release digitally worldwide via the Nintendo eShop in 2025, further cementing the Nintendo Switch as a key platform for innovative, narrative-rich indie games.
For fans of story-driven adventures and authentic coming-of-age tales, this new title promises an engaging, heartfelt experience on the go.
