About Perfect Tides

Perfect Tides is a point and click adventure game about the agony and anticipation of being a teen. Set in the year 2000, you play as Mara, an internet-obsessed young writer who lives on a so-called island paradise. Following 4 seasons of the year, you experience through Mara the beauty and silence of the island, the turmoil of family life and mainland public school, and an ever-evolving quest for love, friendship and experience.

Featuring:
  • Classic 90s-style Point and Click user interface: collect inventory, interact with people and objects, and explore your island home.
  • Rich narrative and character-driven story: solve puzzles and watch the plot unfold.
  • Move through 45+ beautifully designed rooms, day and night, in 4 seasons of the year.

OK. So me and a friend just finished this. I've been a fan of Gran's other work, Octopus Pie, for about 15 years now, so there's definitely a fair amount of bias from me. The worst aspects of the game are inventory puzzles or leaps of logic to advance the story. At most, I encountered them twice. If you're stuck, look up a walkthrough. I do appreciate bucking the adventure game narrative with most of the 'quests' being optional. The game is a time capsule of the late 1990s, a view of what it's like to grow up, and a memoir of sorts. Not of exact experiences, but feelings, and a path through life. It is unique, amongst what is on Steam, and it's worth playing.

Amazing adventure game. It's a bit of a miracle how faithfully it invokes classic staples of the genre while feeling very modern to play. The story is incredibly effective and serves as a perfect time capsule to the ICQ and MSN messenger era of early dial up internet.

An enthralling story that explores love, youth, and discomfort in a way that sucks you in immediately. Perfect Tides is one of the most genuine feeling games I’ve ever played, and several moments hit me deeply in places that I wasn’t expecting. I want to tell everyone I know and meet about this game, and it will be sticking with me for a long, long time.
