The introspective adventure game sequel will debut on Nintendo Switch, PC, Mac

PHILADELPHIA – April 23, 2025 – Perfect Tides: Station to Station, the coming-of-age point n’ click narrative adventure sequel to award-winning title Perfect Tides from developer Three Bees, will be coming to the Nintendo Switch, in addition to PC and Mac in 2025.

Written and designed by Meredith Gran, creator of the beloved Octopus Pie read by hundreds of thousands, Perfect Tides: Station to Station spotlights the thrill and whiplash of a young woman’s hesitant first steps into adulthood. Travel to the big city with 18-year-old Mara as she leaves her comfortable island hometown to begin her hopefully invigorating college experience. 

Help Mara pursue her dreams as a young writer while navigating the challenges of her first year of independence. Each season offers new opportunities and challenges across more than 60 different environments and a dynamic cast of memorable characters. Succeed or fail in forging lasting friendships and discovering romantic partners as Mara learns to balance her personal goals, social life, and school responsibilities. 

Experience and guide branching story beats while visiting key locations with the help of the city’s extensive transit system. Develop Mara’s writing voice by living life day-by-day, guiding her through classroom conversations and social gatherings. Then, synthesize the lessons learned and experiences discovered to help Mara produce thoughtful essays (or incoherent rambles) in her quest to become a literary legend.

“The city’s mass transit system is where Mara does a lot of her thinking,” says Meredith Gran, Three Bees’ founder. “Bringing Perfect Tides: Station to Station to the Nintendo Switch felt appropriate – players will be able to take it on the go as they experience their own journeys through life.”

Perfect Tides: Station to Station will launch on Nintendo Switch, as well as PC and Mac via Steam in 2025. For more information, please visit the official website, follow the team on Bluesky, and Twitter/X, join the community on Discord, and search #PerfectTides on all social media platforms.

Watch adorable, peculiar creatures meet their grizzly demise on the battlefield in a clever new deckbuilder where choices matter.

April 17th 2025: Independent developer Save Sloth Studios and roguelike deckbuilder obsessives Yogscast Games have today unveiled The Royal Writ – a lane-based card game with permadeath. 

Sometimes a kingdom’s problems can be solved by simple communication – which is why his illustrious highness has decided to send out letters summoning some of the troublemakers to his throne room. And if the recipients are a little reluctant to accept the invitation? No problem! A little siege never hurt anybody. 

Carefully enlist and place your peculiar creatures on a battlefield and watch them march to their eternal death or glory as they try to conquer the enemy. 

Deal damage to the enemy turn by turn, taking advantage of each card’s power or multiplication modifiers in order to reduce your target’s health to zero. Pay particular attention to the pitfalls and difficult terrain – for example, your aquatic creatures to gain an advantage in water-logged areas, or simply use your flying creatures to ignore them all together. Upgrade and enhance your soldier cards between battles via multiple mini games, as you work your way across procedurally-generated maps and battlefields in a quest to defeat and capture the final boss. 

The twist here comes from the ultimate jeopardy. If the enemy base has health remaining when a card reaches it, that card is permanently destroyed and removed from your deck, making every decision fraught with danger. You could spend ages powering up a particularly tough card, only for it to disappear if you’ve miscalculated your plans. 

Sacrificing your cards for the greater good is an integral part of the game, creating emergent sub-stories and making runs memorable. Achieve victory though strategic planning or game-breaking synergies, or fail miserably because your soldier got stuck in a bog and you forgot he can’t fly. 

Visually and aurally it’s a huge treat, combining cute picture-book visuals with the grotesque and absurd humour of a medieval world engulfed in constant war and deceit. 

“We only sign games we love,” says Simon Byron, Managing Director, Yogscast Games, “so it’s no exaggeration to say the entire team and right across the Yogscast network – fell fast and hard for The Royal Writ when we first saw it. It’s such a brilliant, fun, clever take on the genre, full of surprise and jeopardy. We want to marry it.” 

“Our original idea for the game was extremely simple, but the fun instantly kicked in as soon as we put down the first rabbit soldier on the battlefield, so it was a no-brainer for us to start making a full-fledged game out of this idea,” adds Kornél Pittmann, co-director, Save Sloth Studios.  “Now, it has grown into something filled with tons of unique mechanics, characters and visuals, and we loved working on every aspect of it”

The Royal Writ began as an entry for Ludum Dare 55, and moved into full development following hugely positive feedback. It will be releasing later this year – with a playable demo available soon.  For exclusive early access to Playtests, please join the Discord and wishlist on Steam.
