some of the puzzle doesnt make sense
- 5 AM · v1.1.6
amazing 🤩
- Mustafa Abdullah · v1.1.6
fun experience! clever puzzles. use the camera to take picture's. they will be useful as clues for future puzzles. Storyline keeps you wondering as to what happened? Great game if you are solver.
- Robert Barker · v1.1.6
Great game on to chapter 3...
- Lisa Fu · v1.1.6
Enjoying this series so much, I'll be sad when it's done! Playing it again in 2026, still enjoying it!
- Anastasia's Hole in the Holler Creations · v1.1.6
Enjoyable!
- Piero Favretti · v1.1.6
pretty good
- X O · v1.1.6
Amazing and worth the cost! The controls... bravo. I have limited hand function as a quad so no required zoom, tilting, shaking is a plus for me. This chapter was better than the first so I can't wait to play the third! And then the prologue? It would be nice to offer a packaged price for all of the chapters available, so any progress is synced up and saved. That's my only complaint. If I uninstall after I finish is it all lost? I've got every app you offer so keep 'em coming pls!! Thank y'all!!
- Jessica Heinz · v1.1.6
This is the type of puzzle adventure I enjoy, and I did. I really found the hint feature helpful, too. The graphics are very good and it's just big enough to explore but not to get lost. Very good variety of challenging puzzles, too. Well done.
- Mischief · v1.1.6
Always high quality
- Jane Dohe (karma) · v1.1.6
I'm playing this for the second time. The first was in 2021. It's a great story. A couple of puzzles were cryptic, but the gameplay was fairly smooth otherwise. On to the final chapter.
- David Lazarus · v1.1.6
Too short for me but a great game again. Nice!
- Gaer'thal Estelmist · v1.1.6
have fun playing it. Would be better if it had a map.
- Pang Janel · v1.1.6
I have been searching for a game that gives The Room games a run for their money for years and finally found it! These games are fantastic! The puzzles are doable and logical, the graphics are amazing and the game play is solid. Love it!
- Lbroillet · v1.1.7
I really do love the game and all the Meridian ones
- Jeremy J. Rines · v1.1.6
Технически простая, но очень приятная по атмосфере игра. Графически из-за статичной картинки локации выглядит здорово. Музыка и фоновые звуки также располагают. Игра в меру длинная и не успевает надоесть. Обязательно пройдите первую часть перед этой, для лучшего погружения
- Konstantin Lopatnikov · v1.1.6
Very intriuging challenging puzzles but cllues are there use your camera
- Sue Castledine · v1.1.6
Immersive gameplay and story, and the mechanics are all fairly easy to use and understand. My only criticism is that the bad lighting in some scenes made it somewhat difficult to find clues. I've missed a few items just because the environment wasn't well lit enough. However, I enjoyed the puzzles and look forward to playing the final chapter!
- Nan Zou · v1.1.6
loved it
- Heidi Huggins · v1.1.6
Would've expected the graphics to progress a little since the Prologue and always hitting back arrow to leave every scene is still clunky. Shadow dream looked unfinished. A new feature was added to mix items and that was a very nice addition. Storyline is well-thought out and holds together throughout (one of the best things about the game). Lots of care went into making all the letters and I really enjoyed the attention to those. There's some time anachronism/time warping.
- Melo · v1.1.6
Very short. Puzzles okay. Unfortunately controls are inexcusablely bad. If you use an item from your inventory, it opens the inventory which you then have to manually close to free up screen. To go back, you need to click a separate button, instead of the usual bottom of the screen or pinch. A lot of back and forth between equally muddy looking areas, but no map function, so annoying to navigate and worst of all, the "hints" just solve the puzzles. Wait until it's free - not worth paying for.
- El Clairo · v1.1.6
5 star game? Maybe. Then why did you give it 5 stars? You get a lot for the cost of the game.
- Ardmore Mooney · v1.1.6
Loved it. Out of all the games like these, these are my favorite. Onto Chapter 3.
- David Smith · v1.1.6
Cheap Old Smartphone , + it Works , Ask A.i. Search for Official Walkthrough + Bookmark it .
- Pete Sarkisian · v1.1.6
Another amazing chapter in this series! Best point and click puzzle game since Myst!!
- Queen B · v1.1.6
Way easier to follow with the puzzles than the last chapter. Still some that were a little strange to understand, but the hint features keeps the story engaging.
- UndeadUnicorn Boi · v1.1.6
I'm about to start chapter 3, these games are alot of fun, and you really have to think to do the puzzles which makes it interesting
- Patricia Zernone Wood · v1.1.6
Well worth the money. Very well made, great job!
- William Michaud · v1.1.6
thoroughly stretches the brain as the eyes feast
- Sue Greene · v1.1.6
Please make more games like Meridian. I replayed each chapter including the prologue too many times.
- Matthew Goldsmith · v1.1.7
consistently fantastic game series so far.. loved it.. could use a map to short travel from area to are. but solid game anyways!
- Rachel · v1.1.6
Suuuuuper !
- Roberto P. · v1.1.6
Lots of cool visuals and not to annoyingly difficult on easy mode. I'll definitely be downloading the next chapter!
- Pickle Candy · v1.1.6
awesome
- Chris Granger · v1.1.6
Awesomeeee! Will play Chapter 3 for sure! I love Novasoft's games!
- Ray Rocha · v1.1.6
love the puzzles
- Mike Locy · v1.1.6
Awesome puzzles, a couple didn't make sense and I had to look them up but it may have just been me. definitely worth the couple dollars to be entertained for a few days.
- Misty Kauffman · v1.1.6
Another excellent installment in the series, interesting puzzles and great attention to quality. Moving straight on to chapter 3.
- jo flood · v1.1.6
Nice atmosphere, puzzles range from simple to fiendish. I knocked one star off because the noughts and crosses clue did not match the pattern required to open door (for the penultimate puzzle). Downloaded solution from Internet walk-through, which worked, but this didn't match the noughts and crosses pattern.
- Ade Price · v1.1.6
Yay! Can't wait to play next one.
- Christopher Cipriano · v1.1.6
great!
- matt w · v1.1.6
excellent I love these games
- Dora Hidalgo
amazing puzzles, great settings probably easier than chapter 1 but still difficult enough to provide a bit of a challenge
- Barney · v1.1.5
overall good with nice graphics, perfect gameplay, and great puzzles. however some puzzles didn't make sense to me. too hard or seemingly impossible to resolve. thank you for the help feature though.
- Gil M · v1.1.5
Great story to unravel, with creative puzzles to solve. Very fun!
- Abc Xyz · v1.1.5
Hint system could be a bit better but great game still
- Sahil · v1.1.5
Great sequel to chapter 1! if you liked chapter 1, you'll love this one and chapter 3.
- Julian Russell · v1.1.5
Very enjoyable and entertaining puzzle game. Looking forward to Chapter 3
- dadd1919 · v1.1.6
love it
- Jam Reinier · v1.1.5
it's a good game but not long enough why in chapters it could be a whole game why not more out yet these been out for ages with AI now games should be so much better
- N Jones · v1.1.5
Excellent game, great graphics, challenging, not too short, so fun! Worth every penny!
- Mary Brooks · v1.1.5
I love the spooky plot line and the VERY challenging puzzles. I had to use hints about 4 times. I really liked the addition of tools and the change in areas. Can't wait for the last chapter. Highly recommend.
- Zy Bobbitt · v1.1.5
Easily the most immersive puzzle-solving worlds I have played through, with just the right balance of puzzles and story-telling. I'd love to see the theme turned into Netflix mini series.
- Simon Monks · v1.1.5
Have really enjoyed the story and the puzzles. I love the camera option so I don't have to keep runn8ng back to look at something.
- Crystal Pringle · v1.1.5
great game
- Flora Vaz · v1.1.5
I’m just sad that it’s over…this game has consumed my life the last few days. As I mentioned on other reviews: love the background music, it’s relaxing & eerie to go with the setting, the whole thing has a haunted, spooky feel and the puzzles are engaging. Awesome work to the devs!
- Person-not-machine · v1.1.6
The only game that I’ve actually thought was worth paying for. The puzzles are challenging and the story is mysterious and interesting graphics are great as well. I also like the dialogue. I tapped on an item and instead of just not working, the text said, “Um, No.” lol great fun and getting Chapter 3!
- Andy Jo29 · v1.1.6
This game mechanics are finicky and the puzzles don’t make sense most of time. They want you to solve things their way.. just a meh experience. glad i got through it
- Eonvix · v1.1.6
I hope the sequel continues or in another game similar, This a very good game 😊👍
- Cesgan · v1.1.6
I enjoyed this game immensely
- Mom of 13 year old · v1.1.5
Nothing about this third installment (after Prologue & Ch. 1) really wowed me, but there was very little to criticize. Playing on Hard mode, I never got stuck except for a couple of times when the correct place I needed to tap onscreen wasn’t clear. Smooth interface and solid visuals. Worth the price.
- AllTh3N1cknamesRTaken · v1.1.5
I’ve really enjoyed all the games in this series. Each is fully stand alone but I recommend starting with the Prologue — especially since it’s free, so you can try it before you buy it — and then working your way through the chapters. The chapters are very consistent in quality, play, and feel. Mood and atmosphere are really cool, with good visuals and sound. Very well done for such a small team. Great value for low cost. Highly recommended. Most of the puzzles were on the easy side, though some of the clues were hard to interpret. I usually found I was overthinking it, but there were a couple where I thought, “Huh?” even after I’d solved it.
- MykullT · v1.1.5
Great game with loving attention to detail. Most puzzles are pretty straightforward, some really made me think, and a few I found awesomely hard and had to consult a walkthrough for help, but all were logical and well crafted. One thing I especially appreciate about this game is the storyline and atmosphere. They did a great job on this. It brings me back to my Myst days. Highly recommend.
- mettabit · v1.1.5
This was a fun puzzle adventure game. Easy to follow and very unusual puzzles to solve.
- Road warrior 28 · v1.1.5
Great game
- Nahttylu · v1.1.5
I was pleasantly surprised! It was a fun game with many interesting and unique puzzles.
- Gw1880123 · v1.1.5
This has been my favorite mobile game I’ve ever played. I played all four chapters and I plan on playing through them all again real soon. Worth every penny. Would’ve paid more to be honest, it’s just so good. Challenging but not impossible and the art is stunning. Can’t wait for Aurora Hills!
- silksquash · v1.1.5
I can’t believe only two people made this game. It’s clever, ingenuitive and has well thought out puzzles. The graphics are amazing as well.
- Vazka69 · v1.1.5
Love this game so much
- ahmed berol · v1.1.5
It’s a fun game, but it doesn’t take long to go through it all. I wish they would just charge you once for all three chapters. It’s kind of annoying, paying for each chapter. The storyline is good, but some of the puzzles are hard to understand.
- Working class · v1.1.5
I am huge fan of escape room games, but yet have been able to find an escape room app that I truly enjoyed until now. Played the free prologue and have now played chapter 1 and 2, with excitement to start chapter 3! I will be honest, some of the game is pretty simple, some is perfectly challenging, but there were a couple of the puzzles that had answers that just didn’t make sense( I mean I had the right answer but in the wrong order and was unsure how you made the leap to the order it was in, unless the intent was a trial by error). But overall these are very addicting and extremely fun for escape room and puzzle lovers!
- kiki3779 · v1.1.5
I love games where it’s mysterious, trying to get to the next place in the game. Figuring out what needs to be done in order to solve the puzzle. Not real hard but hard enough. All puzzles make sense.
- Lampo12 · v1.1.5
I thnak you for this game and i love it soo much Can you make 4th part and 5 -6-7 many you can than you My name is khalid i am from kuwait
- thebestofme44 · v1.1.5
This game is fun, but there’s a bug that makes it so the red desk doesn’t open when you use the key on it, which makes the game unbeatable. I don’t know a better way to alert the developer. Please fix it, I want to play the rest of the game!
- Vox Ex Machina · v1.1.5
Very fun game, loved it!😍
- gam3r4dayz · v1.1.5
I can’t get the red drawer to open. I use the key, the key disappears, but nothing opens. The hint says to take something out of the drawer, which is impossible, as the drawer won’t open. I have the latest updates to the game and my iPhone. I restarted the game and played to the same place, only to get stopped again. Please help!
- Linda Tree 3 · v1.1.5
I found this game to be somewhat entertaining, but equally frustrating and confusing. Most of the clues designed to be helpful or not. It would’ve been nice if they were a more in detail or intuitive. Because they were not it resulted in you spending more time trying to figure what the next step was or specifically what you were required to do to complete that particular task. On a scale of 1 to 10 I give it a one and a half and I’m not really sure I would recommend it as a purchase for any future purchases.
- Lawless46 · v1.1.5
Some times it’s hard to know what room your In or where the clues are telling you where to go.
- Angers camper · v1.1.5
This took me back to the feeling of the very first Myst game. Thank you for such great care! Finished all 4
- goode-design.net · v1.1.5
Love this series, love the graphics, interesting story, and the actions are realistic where most games are not. There are no medallions or amulets in these games, thank goodness. My only issue with these games is that there are a few puzzles which I don’t understand even after looking up the answer. I really don’t get a few of these. It’s frustrating.
- koobrik · v1.1.5
I’ve played through all three chapters now, and I can easily say that this is hands down the best escape room app I’ve ever played. The graphics and music are beautiful, the storyline is really interesting, and the puzzles are the perfect balance between challenging and intuitive. Love that you can play with or without hints. Worth every penny and more, and I hope the developer comes out with more. Wonderful game!!!
- grispiritfarer · v1.1.4
This game is well done. I really like the mysterious atmosphere, the subtlety of the creepiness without it trying to be a horror game. The creepy factor is tasteful and just the way I like. It’s a relaxing puzzle game, but it still has the creepy mysterious environment and mood well done. There’s adventure and exploration. Beautiful environment. It would wonderful to explore the island more and have the ability to freely look around but it’s hard to complain. It’s a quality game that I was happy to purchase.
- Hermin Mc Murmin · v1.1.4
So much fun and challenging at a reasonable price!
- Everyday Hot Rods · v1.1.4
I couldn’t stop playing and it took me a while to get the hang of it. This was a great game and I hope you have more coming.
- Banquo2 · v1.1.4
It’s a fun Myst clone. Some of the puzzles don’t have hints though and you are only given the option to skip them. I would have liked to see the solution.
- Dml12345 · v1.1.4
I love playing these games and I really want you to make more of them! Can you make them so 2 players can play it?
- Crazy Videogamer · v1.1.4
I’m so glad I bought this. I was debating it since I was broke, but the story so far is really good and entertaining. I have a few nitpicks about some of the mechanics, but they’re mostly just personal preferences, and they don’t get in the way of playing too much. I love the camera feature, I would be stuck without it! Overall, 9/10
- FroggyJae · v1.1.3
The blue bunker door code. I have it correct. Checked and rechecked multiple times but the door won’t open. Hint just keeps telling me to solve via the red drawer. I saw it work in the walk-through. I’m stuck and sad.
- GoingOnSixty · v1.1.3
Excellent! Meridian 157 just keeps getting better from Prologue to Chapter 2. Finally! All of the puzzles makes sense, they are all logical if you are patient, and can be done with absolutely no walk-throughs on difficult level, with no hints. It’s well worth $1.99 because it took me two weeks to work through it. It obviously has been well tested with various users. I love the addition of the combination tools. I like this better than most escape room games because the story could be real, it’s relatable, not a sci-fi fantasy adventure. For example you are in a snowy woods and underground lab tunnels in Chapter 2. If you like Meridian 157, similar games also well-developed and logical are Rime created by IsumiArtizan, and all of the Glitch Games. I see endless possibilities for the developer, such as the setting for the story could be an old abandon carnival, a “haunted” house, a “ghost town“, an abandon ship, just to name a few. If I were to make any suggestions I would say it would be good to have the ability to pan the room, or click side to side. The graphics and details in each room are amazing, but the rooms seem kind of flat without being able to pan. I think that would give more possibilities for less obvious clues as well. Completing logic puzzles to get into rooms is challenging, but it’s a little too simple to find clues without the need to pan, they are basically right in front of you. On to chapter 3!
- ComfyWine Rock · v1.1.3
Why is it that when I’m playing this game I get jump scared with a discord sound randomly, did they accidentally put that in the music?? Lol
- Hdhdhdhdudhhf · v1.1.3
I’m in awe of the story line it has this ( to me ) an alien type feel to it I mean every once in a while these ghostly type people in black silhouette appear but then again I’m so way off that it’s probably a government coverup of sorts.Hopefully more of these type of games keep on going because it’s a lot of fun playing them.
- H.Spraugh · v1.1.3
Moody and atmospheric. Low pressure gameplay. Great art. Gorgeous puzzles. Not too difficult. 5 stars.
- Super.Jelly · v1.1.3
I like mystery puzzles and this one kept my interest and seemed eerily convincing. I did use and appreciate the clues and hints or I would have been completely lost in some rooms; frustrated and would have stopped. Glad I didn’t stop. Thanks
- abkerry · v1.1.3
Hate to say it but the title covers the reviews. I started with the first game it was good but a little short so I got the second game it’s better and it’s longer I’ve played it twice now try it in hard mode 😎I already have the third. Keep up the good work 👍
- dgyjchjgg · v1.1.3
Def worth the money. I started with the free prologue and got hooked. Great visuals, interesting story, challenging puzzles, helpful hints if needed.
- BiggestBaddestBobbest · v1.1.3
I found these games while looking for something like Myst or Riven and have not been disappointed! The plot is interesting and spooky without being scary, the puzzles vary in difficulty and type (some are spatial, others are logical, etc), the graphics are great, and I personally love that it’s slideshow style (makes it so much easier to confirm what’s important). Extra perks include a camera feature that make it so you don’t have to use a notebook to record clues, and an optional hint function that will help you move forward in the game when stuck without giving too much away. I’d love to replay this on my PC! Highly recommend!
- Emilylimeish · v1.1.3
This game is a true masterpiece. It can keep you entertained with mind-blowing puzzles for hours! Couldn’t recommend it more!
- Cagandres · v1.1.3
This is a fantastic game. I’ve been looking for an adventure escapey game for a while now, I love it.
- nibnubby · v1.1.3
Good design, really suspenseful. The puzzles are not quite as clever as they were in the other two. It feels like we’re going deeper and deeper into this mysterious cave, but as the backstory of the island gets more and more developed, I start to get the suspicion that the creators are sort of making up the mystery as they go. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it’s a funny though that the people making this know just as much about the dark guy and the diary as we do. All that being said, THERE IS SOMETHING THAT REALLY IRKS ME OFF AND HONESTLY IM GOING TO PUT 1 STAR IF NO ONE HELPS ME. Beyond the blue bunker door after the gas filled stairs there is a box in the dark room with weird symbols on it. I just don’t know what to do. Even when I go to easy mode and turn on hints it keeps telling me that’s what I need to solve and it gives me the solution but even THAT doesn’t make sense either this is a glitch or a weird puzzle
- mitten juice · v1.1.1
Great game, but like the title states, it crashed on me and I lost all progress. Not cool.
