### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-06-27, version 1.1.2*

Belles images. Énigmes et jeux interactifs ni facile, ni difficile. Belle histoire.

### 1/5 — Runtime error caused me to lose all my progress

*2026-06-06, version 1.1.2*

Runtime error caused me to lose all my progress when I entered the medical wing. So frustrating!!

### 5/5 — Worth way more than the cost to play.

*2026-05-29, version 1.1.2*

Meridian Prologue through Chapter 3 is one amazing adventure. The story line builds suspense and the puzzles are intuitive yet challenging. I rarely play for pay games but this one I will play more than once, for sure. It’s that good.

### 5/5 — Masterful

*2026-05-27, version 1.1.2*

An incredible design and execution. Well done. It was fun and captivating to play. Please design more….

### 5/5 — パズル

*2026-05-22*

世界観、グラフィックがとても良かったです。不要になったアイテム(プレパラートとスライド)がずっと手持ちかばんに入ったままなのがイライラしました(捨てる方法ありました？)クリア後に、パズルに再チャレンジできるといいなと思いました。意味がわからずスキップしてしまったパズルがありました。方向音痴なのでマップ表示があるとなお良かった。全体的には楽しめたので星5です！

### 5/5 — Awesome Game

*2026-05-17, version 1.1.2*

This was a very engaging game and very immersive. The soundtrack also made the experience that much better.

### 5/5 — What a wild ride…

*2026-05-12, version 1.1.2*

What can be said, this has been the most engaging, thrilling and well thought out story I have played in a long time. To be specific about chapter 3 it by far is the most complex and puzzle filled chapter by far, very complex, hard puzzles and as always beautiful visuals. Oh and I had a laugh when the “this has to be the worst designed fire extinguisher ever made” joke came up, very meta. Now there is a couple of nit picks for the developer, one that actually annoyed me, with the network card puzzle, it’s actually a picture of a SOUND card that’s used…… very annoying and takes me out of the Emerson. And the other thing with is a bit annoying, through the chapters you pick up a crowbar and screw drivers multiple times, logically, you would just keep them, I understand from a puzzle perspective why this happens, but, it’s a bit silly. Perhaps make it so they “break” or gets dropped and lost. Or instead of a crowbar, a hacksaw, and the blade breaks? In any case, wonderfull job, thank you for giving me hours of entertainment, from a serious escape room/puzzle player, you have made me very happy. ❤️

### 5/5 — Loved it!

*2026-04-26, version 1.1.2*

Truly enjoyed all 3 Meridian 157 games. If you like point and click games, with lots of puzzles, you will enjoy this. I am sorry it ended.

### 5/5 — Es machte wirklich Spaß …

*2026-04-14*

… die 157er-Spiele zu spielen, hier floss sehr viel Herzblut in dessen Umsetzung! Daher sei der geldliche Einsatz den Entwicklern auch absolut gegönnt! —- Hinweis: Es macht spielerisch nur Sinn wenn alle Spiele (der Reihe 157) in chronologischer Reihenfolge gespielt werden. —- Kleine Kritiken seien gestattet: —- Einige wenige Rätsel erschlossen sich mir leider nicht, so dass ich sie mit der Hilfe auflöste - vielleicht war ich hier aber auch einfach zu ungeduldig ;-) —- Viele Rätsel mit ihren zu lösenden Zusammenhängen gehen leider an der eigentlichen Story komplett vorbei. Dies verdrängt die gut entwickelte Story leider sehr oft in den Hintergrund. Zumal man die Geschichte auch leider am Ende eines „Levels“ nicht noch einmal in Ruhe nachvollziehen kann. —- Wer einen soliden Zeitvertreib sucht, wird hier sehr gut bedient! — Das Preis/Leistungs-Verhältnis ist absolut ok, da das Spiel ohne Werbung auskommt und keine Daten gesammelt werden!

### 5/5 — Восторг

*2026-04-07*

Первый раз купила платную  игру и не пожалела
