If you grew up playing point-and-click adventure games and/or enjoyed the terrific comic Octopus Pie, you owe it to yourself to play this game. It's terrific. Clever, funny, touching, the artwork and music are both great. I love this game.

Perfect Tides is a point and click masterpiece. A study of teenagerdom at the turn of the millennium which funny, moving, and exceptionally thoughtful.
You play as Mara, a 15 (soon to be 16) year old girl, as she navigates online and offline relationship

Anyone in their thirties, who has ever enjoyed any point 'n click adventure, should buy this game. Beautiful, enjoyable, vulnerable experience. I truly hope that this story continues at some point.

one day i'll have the words to truly describe what this game means to me. for now:
i was drawn to this game by its art style. the art alone is worth $15 and more, and i wish this game came with an art book or a way i could go through the animation frames

I can't recommend Perfect Tides highly enough. It's heartfelt and relatable. It's sharp and observant. It's funny and charming. It's a spot-on period piece. It's a damned, damned good character study. It's the rare game that, after finishing it, I just ha

Loved it. If you grew up in the days of forums and ICQ you'll definitely get nostalgic.

Sure, the pixel resolution on the characters aren't consistent, even within themselves, and the music/ambiance can be sparse, and the lack of object highlighting can be frustrating. The UI, considering how you have to interact with it non-stop, is un-juic

Meredith Gran's character writing is sharp and clever and hilarious and loving all at once. This setting and story is familiar and hilariously devastating to those of us who were teenaged around the year 2000. Even if that doesn't specifically apply to yo

When I started this game I was expecting it to be an obtuse/pretentious Kings Quest-y kind of game, but it very much isn't! I really enjoyed it!
This is probably the most relatable VN about being in a place you don't feel like you belong and then putting

Meredith Gran has an amazing talent for creating characters and having them interact in ways that feel real. I got interested in the game after falling in love with Octopus Pie, and it was 100% worth it. Plus, the nostalgia trip - I was a bit young for a

Short and sweet. It's easy to see the best and worst of myself in the protagonist. You'll probably feel the same.

TLDR: Once we get older, we are tempted to look back at our teenage years with rose-tinted glasses. Perfect Tides snatches those glasses from your nose and tramples them to dust in front of you, after which it offers you a cigarette to bum.

I bought this game on a whim from the Steam store - and I can honestly say it blew all of my expectations out of the water. I loved the writing so much - I don't think I've played a game that's so immersive, authentic, vulnerable, clever and nostalgic at

I spent so much of this game with a huge knot in my stomach, the writing and scenario are superb. Excellent comedic timing and expression, contrasted by brilliantly executed moments of tension and seriousness.

Equal parts hilarious and devastating. It's shockingly easy to relate to this character I've got no discernable shared life experience with. I didn't do any of this stuff. But I definitely felt all of this stuff. Absolutely worth the frustration of gettin

Man, talk about a game with splendidly GREAT writing and excellent, juicy pixel art! The puzzles might have you scratch your head a bit as it's not always clear what you need to do, but eh, this game is a must!
