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

Oh man, you ever just wander into a game expo and feel like you’ve stepped into a different universe? PAX East 2025 was a madhouse. And Meredith Gran—yeah, totally—I mean, who’s got ideas like her these days? She’s out here with “Perfect Tides: Station to Station,” making the whole point-and-click genre feel fresh. Picture this: conversations, relationships, and somehow it all helps you level up in life? Brilliant or confusing—I couldn’t decide.

Right, the game. So it’s the sequel to “Perfect Tides.” Honestly, if you missed the first one, don’t sweat it. You jump into this story where you’re controlling Mara. She’s 18. Trying to crack adulthood in a buzzing city. And you mix point-and-click stuff with RPG vibes. It’s like… Okay, gather ideas from random chats with folks and save them on your phone, like collecting conversation ammo. Sounds weird? Yeah, I thought so too, but it’s oddly intriguing. Leveling up by chatting? Might be genius.

Then there’s navigating this city. No lie—I got a bit lost, but maybe that’s just me. The game ditches the old choice tabs. You just dive into conversations, throw out topics, and see where Mara’s story rolls to. Oh, and there’s decision-making. Lots of it. Mara grows, the story twists. I managed to wiggle through to the second stage, getting to a party without even knowing the host’s name. Intense teenage awkwardness—it’s like someone bottled high school drama.

The storytelling? Geez, it hit home. Felt like Meredith Gran poured bits of her own heart into it. The demo only grazed the surface, but they’re talking about a year-long in-game story over like 16 hours. Watch for it—whether on Switch or PC. Whenever it eventually drops, really.

So here you go, a chaotically fun adventure waiting for its time in the limelight. Keep your eyes peeled!
