Perfect Tides: Station to Station

Genuinely one of the best narrative game I've played. Smoothened over so much of the rough edges of the first game. The little mechanical innovations are so thematically on point. Each 20-30 minutes of my short play sessions just made me feel and reflect in so many ways. A great game for anyone who's just looking for a story that gives you the space to sit with your own thoughts.

one of the best narrative games I've ever played

A meandering slog of a story with characters who are simultaneously dull and obnoxious. Clearly the kind of game for a very specific crowd, one that can look at the milquetoast protagonist and say "totally me" or whatever. The gameplay, which focuses on exploring the city and learning about things to write about, shows promise, but there's no point if none of the dialogue is compelling at all. Video games should be fun, not this navel-gazing nonsense.

This game has moved me to my core and I am truly happy to have been lucky enough to experience this the moment I did. This is truly a masterpiece of it's own

Gorgeous, heartbreaking, thoughtful, charming; a game all about the glittering pearls that grow around the many little griefs of living. Every time I finished playing, I just wanted to make something.

This is a beautifully crafted coming-of-age story set within a point-and-click adventure game.
