Play OverviewPlay Overview

Perfect Tides (2022) is a point-and-click coming of age adventure set in 2000. You play Mara as they explore the world, collecting items and talking to the people they meet to unfold a story about the agony and anticipation of being a teen.

Mara is an internet-obsessed young writer who lives on a so-called island paradise. Through four seasons you share a year of Mara's life through the turmoil of family life and mainland public school, and an ever-evolving quest for love, friendship and experience.

Rather than a reimagining (like Return to Monkey Island) Perfect Tides is as if you discovered an unreleased classic 90s-style adventure, right down to the point-and-click interface, inventory, interactions and conversations.

The result is an endearing trip down memory lane that offers a surprising amount of substance. The rich narrative and character-driven story do a good job of telling this story of teenage tensions, hopes and dreams. If you enjoyed this, a sequel is coming in 2024, Perfect Tides Station to Station, about the momentum and whiplash of young adulthood.

Our examiner, Andy Robertson, first checked Perfect Tides 18 months ago. It was re-examined by Jo Robertson and updated 9 months ago.
