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, embraces life in the big city on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 today.

Players will get to guide Mara Whitefish’s unforgettable journey through her first year of college and independence in a story full of meaningful relationships, authentic mid-2000s experiences, and a trusty brick cellphone. As a fledgling writer, soak up everything higher education and the big city have to offer – captivating classes, ponderous works of literature, and the whirlwind emotions of young adulthood.

Balance Mara’s time between educational pursuits, new (and old) relationships, and personal development as she searches for her place in a changing world. Explore the city using the public transit system and draw from the books Mara reads, the conversations she has with her peers, and her hard-earned life lessons to complete writing assignments. Help decide whether she blossoms into a promising young author or languishes in obscurity and mediocrity.

Mara’s choices won’t always be the ‘right’ ones, but they’ll always be authentic. Meredith Gran, creator of the hit webcomic Octopus Pie and the award-winning Perfect Tides, has filled every chapter of Perfect Tides: Station to Station with memorable, sharply observed characters and heartfelt moments to form the stage for Mara’s competing desires to be successful as a writer and loved by others.

“The Switch has always felt like a natural home for Perfect Tides: Station to Station, so we’ve worked with our friends at Clickpulp to make sure the handheld controls feel perfect,” Gran said. “I think Switch players will agree that it was worth the wait.”

Perfect Tides: Station to Station is available now on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. It is also available on PC and Mac via Steam. Take a look at the trailer and then tell us what you think on Bluesky and Twitter. Will you pick this game up for either Nintendo Switch console?
