Description
Perfect Tides is a point and click adventure about the agony and anticipation of being a teen. Set in the year 2000, you follow Mara - an internet-obsessed young writer from a small island town - on an ever-evolving quest for love, friendship and experience.
History
From Comics to GamesLead developer Meredith Gran cut her teeth in the world of comics. After a successful 10-year run of the acclaimed webcomic Octopus Pie, she began charting new forms of expression through video games.
Successfully funded by Kickstarter backers in 2018, Perfect Tides' development has been a labor of love, slowly growing in ambition and the richness of its world. After a 4-year development timeline, the long-anticipated game was released on 2/22/22, garnering overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam, and ranking in multiple GOTY lists.
