Our take on Perfect Tides
The game’s focus on Mara’s personal story and point-and-click exploration leaves little room for action-led play. Its structure favors following one character through a defined sequence of seasons and locations over open-ended systems.
What is Perfect Tides?
Play as Mara, a young writer absorbed in the internet, living on an island in the year 2000.
Across four seasons, the story follows her experiences with the island, family life, public school on the mainland, and her search for love, friendship and new experiences. The point-and-click interface lets players collect inventory, interact with people and objects, explore locations and solve puzzles as the plot unfolds. The game includes more than 45 rooms, with scenes set during both day and night.
