Aurora Hills: Chapter 1 9+

Love this company

I was so pleased with the Meridian 157 series, I was disappointed when I finished the game. Then I stumbled upon this lovely new series I actually made a verbal “yes” out load. My GF looked at me like I was crazy. I really enjoy the puzzles, the story, the simple point and click aspect. For a phone game, I think it’s just perfect.
On a side note, I just finished Myst mobile. Yes, it took me a few days to complete as I had never played it before. But once completed, I went back to do a speed run, and was done in like 20 minutes. I don’t have that feeling to keep playing it like I do with the games this company makes. Every few months, I’ll go back and play the Meridian 157 series and it almost feels brand new each time.

Not worth your time

The last game by this developer was great. Puzzles made sense within the world and the ramp up worked.
However in this game puzzles make almost no sense and are needlessly hard. The first puzzle when the lights go out has you decipher a lock in a very illogical way. This theme flows through the entire game. At the end the developer will even have the character lie to the player. The character makes a statement and then a puzzle later its proved that the character lied to them and you have to return.
The location makes no sense also. There is supposed to be about missing people. Like 12 or something. But there are no police or anyone. All areas are trashed and the park is not one I would ever visit, its disgusting.
The story is super predictable also. I was hoping through the entire game I would be proved wrong, that there would be something to change my mind. But no. Its a complete disappointment, just like this entire game. If I was told this was made before meridian I would understand. But since they have 3 games under there belt, the type of game I played is NOT acceptable. These developers need to hold themselves to a higher standard and not put out random trash like this. It feels like a cash grab, if that. Dissapointing.
