One of 2026’s top-rated games now specially adapted for controllers
PHILADELPHIA – April 23, 2026 – Perfect Tides: Station to Station, the coming-of-age narrative adventure from developer Three Bees’ and winner of the 2026 IGF Award for Excellence in Narrative, arrives on Nintendo Switch on Monday, May 14, 2026, as revealed during the Second Wind Showcase.
Meredith Gran, creator of the hit webcomic Octopus Pie and the award winning Perfect Tides, fills each chapter of Perfect Tides: Station to Station with unforgettable characters and authentic life. Join fledgling writer Mara Whitefish as she begins her college years in the big city, where her competing desires to become a successful writer and be loved by others propels her into a series of tumultuous experiences and encounters that shape who she becomes as a person.
Navigate Mara’s newfound independence to balance education, relationships, and personal development as she struggles to find her footing as a young adult. Talk with new friends, lovers, and mentors to deepen relationships, and use the city’s mass transit system to explore more than 60 environments.
Keep track of names in Mara’s early 2000s’ brick-style cell phone, and collect important books and reading assignments to broaden her knowledge of new topics to discuss up with everyone she encounters. Each experience, assignment, and conversation present new opportunities for Mara to grow into the writer she dreams of becoming – or languish in mediocre obscurity.
“I wanted to make sure that players have a smooth and seamless experience playing Perfect Tides: Station to Station on Switch, so we worked with Clickpulp to get the Switch controls just right,” said Three Bees founder Meredith Gran. “They’ve done a great job, and Mara feels right at home on the Nintendo Switch.”
Perfect Tides: Station to Station launches Monday, May 14 on Nintendo Switch. It is available now on PC and Mac via Steam.
