Meridian 157: Prologue

It was a nice puzzle game with pleasant, dark visuals so it perfectly fits my style. One could argue the riddles could be more ambitious, but I enjoyed it for a relax session and am sure that things will get even better in the full game.

I was hesitant to try this after playing Aurora Hills Chapter 1, as I didn't enjoy playing that one. But this one is a lot smoother and and more consistent, the puzzles actually made sense and where able to be completed with some time and thinking. The only thing that these point and click games are lacking is some kind of way to know what can and can not be interacted with. It should be as simple as the curser highlights when you pass over something that is clickable or can be interacted with. Without it you will be clicking randomly to see what you can/need to do, which (for me) really takes away from the game. I do enjoy the story and traveling to the mysterious island.

Decent enough, controls are a bit clunky at first but you settle in to them. Puzzles were a mix of easy or moderate. Liked it enough to give other chapters a go.

Looks like it would be a great game to play, but when putting in the coordinates for the island, couldn't get it to type in on my PC. Tried every trick I read about, still no luck. I found the answer. Just type in the numbers, they do not show up and than just click on put in coordinates Since I have finished the prologue, I will be purchasing the other games.

A nice little introduction into this atmospheric world. I managed to get through about 98% of it on Hard mode without any trouble with the puzzles. It's extremely intuitive, and that's a huge compliment. I only tripped up at the very end with the block puzzle, and that's partially because I was too impatient to wrap my head around the trick to solving it. There's no way to lower the difficulty if you get stuck. Also the game would crash anytime I tried using the in-game camera function, and the drawer with the number code also crashed the game. But other than that I was able to play the game relatively soothly.

Interesting little prologue. I'm intrigued by the little lore snippets! If you like "point'n'click"/Hidden object type games, this might be something for you!
