Meridian 157: Prologue HD 9+

If this prologue doesn’t reel you in, then this game isn’t for you. This series is so well designed and remarkable that it creeps into your dreams at night. By the third chapter the haunting solitude just completely gnaws at you. The prologue itself isn’t a brilliant stand-alone game. You really have to keep going. Others have remarked that the very end of the series was a disappointment. I would argue that it ended perfectly in such a haunting and bittersweet way. I won’t give away any of the story, but if you prefer a happy Hollywood ending, you aren’t going to get that. This game series is ALL about the journey and the end makes perfectly good sense but certainly isn’t a fairytale ending.

This game is fantstic. The puzzles are hard but not impossible. Great start to the series and it just keeps getting better as you go through the chapters. I have been playing he Nancy Drew computer games since I was a kid. The most recent one was so diasppointing, and I was sad that I would not find another game that matched its difficulty and quality. I am very happy to say that Meridian 157 has done just that. Hope that in the future they will produce additonal stories.

For a prologue it did take me some time to run thru the game & figure out the puzzles but definitely kept me intrigued until the end, in one sitting. There was 1 puzzle with opening the bridge that wasn’t really that clear to where I had to use the hint a few times but finally figured it out. It’s nice to have the Hint option if you get stuck but it’s subtle hints so you can still try to figure it out yourself. Some puzzles were easy & others were challenging which makes this game worth it, especially since it’s free. I love the opportunity to checkout the game before purchasing the next chapters, can’t wait to explore the rest of this story! Also I had no glitches which is a plus.
