Station to Station: A Fresh Twist on Point-and-Click Adventures

Oh man, so I was wandering around PAX East 2025, right? And there’s this game that just kinda pulled me in—no idea why, but hey, that’s how it goes sometimes. Meredith Gran’s brainchild, “Perfect Tides: Station to Station.” It’s like she decided, “Let’s make point-and-click cool again,” but with, you know, soul.

And get this—there I was, dodging crowds, when I stumbled upon this demo. Conversations, relationships, leveling up in life—you name it, it’s there. Not even kidding, I felt like I was in some weird social experiment.

Now, Station to Station is a sequel, but it’s not one of those “play the first or be lost” deals. You’re Mara, 18, and trying to make sense of adulting in a huge city. RPG vibes meet point-and-click style—it’s like peanut butter met jelly in the gaming world. You’re collecting people and places on your phone like they’re Pokémon, but they’re actually conversation starters. Wild, right?

And speaking of navigating—wow, is it straightforward. Except, full disclosure: I got lost once, but let’s pretend that didn’t happen. Anyway, there’s no clunky “click here, click there” mess. Smooth as butter. Plus, choices that change the storyline? Yes, please.

Then there’s this moment—imagine not knowing who’s throwing a party, but you’ve gotta crash it. My teenage self cringes at the memory. It’s all part of the charm, I guess?

So, despite the chaos around me, I really vibed with this game. Fifteen minutes felt like seconds. Meredith Gran made this personal, and it shows. The full game promises a journey through a year of adolescence. Coming soon to Switch and PC. So yeah, keep those eyes peeled, or maybe not. You do you.
