This series surprised me positively. The artwork and music enhanced the point and click immersion. The thoughtfully designed and well-paced puzzles were challenging but achievable with patience and observation. The story kept the game fresh throughout. Initially, I rushed through the prologue and first chapter, skimming notes for clues but ignoring them. However, by the second and third chapters, I sought logs and memos to delve deeper into the mystery. I found myself genuinely interested in the story of a point and click, which is rare. In the early chapters, I encountered two frustrating puzzles due to needing what I had perceived as an unintuitive inference that required blind guessing or the hint feature (which I lacked in hard mode and resorted to looking online for a tip). But by the second and third chapters, I was more familiar with the developers’ style and trusted the puzzles. While it was sometimes challenging to recognize in those moments of defeat, there was a sensible reason behind each solution that created a satisfying aha moment rather than the frustration of finding a missing clue that felt forced and stumbled upon while desperately clicking on anything with a surface. The challenge but fairness of the puzzles made me feel invested in the game and I prioritized achieving the “escape” on my own.

Fun to play with a great storyline. It's fun because so many pain points have been removed. Movin garound is simple. Click on where you want to go in the very detailed scenes and you go there. Click on a back arrow and you go back. You don't get lost and even better you don't get dizzy. Stuck on what to do next just click on the hint and you get a great suggestion on what to do. Stuck on a puzzle? Click on hint and you get the next step in the puzzle. No having to leave the game and look on the Internet for solutions. The game is split into chapters. Pay a small amount on the App Store and you get a chapter. Very nice business model. I played prologue for free on Apple Arcade and buying chapter 1 and then chapter 2 was a no brainer. Add in the game does not do data collection and this is the business template I wish more games would use. Great puzzles - fun game. A winner.

Part 1 was a great warm up to part 2. I really liked this game all the way through. For years and years I buy thinking puzzle type games and there are some really good ones. This one is my favorite so far! Just finished part 2 and now I am looking forward to part 3. What makes this seem better than other similar games is that you feel like you are really in the story and the mystery is so well done, it keeps you hooked! Great job to the makers of this game! You deserve an award !

This Meridian series is the first time in a long while I've felt a game was worth the money to play. The Prologue got me intrigued. Chapter 1 felt a bit short, but Chapter 2 is a nice length. The series has an interesting story line, nice graphics, and a sense of mystery and suspense to it. Sort of Myst like. While the logic of some of the puzzles make no sense to me even after knowing the solution, mostly they are enjoyable and solvable. I'll be buying the final chapter when it comes out.
