Meridian 157: Chapter 1 12+

Loving it! Good job devs!

I enjoyed the prologue and hadn’t even realised there was a new finished chapter, as yet again a great game has been hidden amongst the drivel of candy crush/ FarmVille/ kardashian iap type dross that fills the App Store, luckily I was going to replay the prologue when I found this and boy am I glad I did. So far it’s incredible, it reminds me a bit of the forever lost glitch games series which I can say is high praise indeed, I’m so glad the developers continued this story as they have real talent. Please ignore any bad reviews, the puzzles are great and varied and the lay out and size of game is perfect. Normally the negs are just wanting something for nothing and can never be pleased. As for me I’m delighted to find a real game that I can sink my teeth into and when you consider the amount of work that goes into producing something like this the price is very very cheap.

Edit: I’ve just finished and wow! It is amazing, the gameplay flow is better than most games I’ve played ( which is a lot) meaning I only used a hint once and the hint system alone is brilliant, I can’t understand anyone saying it took under an hour unless they used non stop hints of course 😜 I found it a very long game for very little money, I feel lucky there are talented ppl out there to provide me with such joy. I truly believe this was under valued and hope for another of this quality from this developer/s. Thank you!

Developer Response ,

So glad you have enjoyed the series so far Sheff2412! Thank you for all your kind words, its nice to hear people enjoying it so much! We will do our best to keep it up for the next games!

Just wow!!

This game is absolutely incredible! Devs you’ve done a fantastic job! I have never seen or played a puzzle game on the iPad that has lived up to the experience I had playing Rusty Lake series on PC! Everything is incredibly intuitive and the camera is so very clever for keeping track of things! When in doubt, snap a pic! I do enjoy some of the witty remarks in the dialogue too…

An accessibility feature I’d like to make note of any future updates/ future games these Devs do (because I would LOVE to see more) - it would be very good to add alternate fonts for the diary entries or click to bring up a clearer text box to read - better yet, an option to click a sound symbol in the text for it to be read out for people that struggle to read!

I assume the other games are the same in way of accessibility (currently playing the second one and loving it too!) so would be a second and non intrusive feature that could be added in the settings ☺️ other than that this game is incredible

Best game for ages!

How brilliant to find a game like this after such a long wait. As a devotee of the old Myst games, I have been waiting a while for something like this. Whilst not exactly like the Myst games, it has an interesting and mysterious story line, some ingenious puzzles to solve and is beautifully drawn and rendered.

The action is frame by frame rather than a continuous 3D environment (so like the original Myst game). Considering that there is a very small team making this, and that they are only charging £1.99 per chapter (and the Prologue is free) I don’t have a problem with this.

I admire the imagination in this game and I love the visual quality and style. I consider it great value, it kept me entertained for days. I am now looking forward to starting Chapter 2, hopefully by the time I’ve finished that there’ll be a Chapter 3 on the way.
