Fun Puzzle Game. I enjoyed the premise and appreciate how even on the easy mode the game doesn't coddle the player by making each step obvious. I also like the absence of ads and data mining, with a simple pay structure instead of having to quit playing because it holds you hostage for more money. The entire mobile gaming industry could learn from this developer. Free first chapter, affordable additional chapters. That is a great way to let us try the game, and if it's good we're hooked.

There were a few parts that seemed a bit vague about what to do but more in the sense that if you did ask for a hint, the hint was not very helpful. There were a few times when using gems to get a hint, it would signal to close the current window, and that counted as the hint, so beware of that. Any difficulty outside of that was probably from me missing a point and confusing myself. I do like it enough to try the others though!

The puzzles were interesting and storyline intriguing throughout entire chapter. I didn't find myself lost or losing interest through out entire gameplay. Though it was short I quite enjoyed it. Graphics were great and game ran smoothly aswell. Highly recommend. Look forward to more from this creator.

Story seemed interesting, but one of the puzzles was near impossible to figure out - even with the in-game hints I couldn't even figure out where to use the clue I'd found (had to find a walkthrough, and even it said it was ridiculously difficult - flag/levers). The controls on another puzzle (block slide) were wonky. There was also a lot of traveling back and forth between locations without a quick-travel map.

It is a great game and introduces the beginning of the whole game. The puzzles are pretty hard, but you could always use the hints, which are very helpful. The stay of he game fits with the puzzles, and it would be a bit scary for some people. But the game is fun and wraps you into all chapters.

This is a super fun and short point and click puzzle game. Phenomenal puzzles and graphics. The only puzzle that is confusing and not very clear is the puzzle to the bridge so after an hour or two I had to look it up. Streamable because it's not loaded with ads so thank you for that! But if you did charge a small fee it was definitely worth it. Great job devs!

OMG. Just finished the Meridian series. This is the best hidden objects/escape game series I have ever played! The story line is awesome as are the graphics, puzzles, interface, you name it. Each chapter is nice and long, too. The hints are helpful, but don't give a way the whole puzzle so you can continue to work it out. I highly recommend. The chapters cost a couple of dollars each, but are well worth it.

I think this is a good start to introduce the series. Quality graphics, ambient music (though on a loop that ends and restarts) could try to make that seemless. All in all though, very nice. Reminiscent of Myst. There's enough to make me want to continue, but at a later date. Seems to be some discord about the levers for the draw bridge. Myself, I didn't look for the hint. Instead just went through a sequence of moves until I found the one that turned the light green. Didn't take long. No ads!

Game play is easy with a haunting dark environment. The free chapter is fairly short and then you have to buy the next chapter in order to finish the story. I did not understand the puzzle with the flag pattern. Hints are free, though. Other games in this space, like the Rusty Lake series, have put out short full story games. I then go buy their more elaborate longer games. Leaving off on a cliffhanger to try to force a buy is a no-go imo.

I enjoyed this game. I play these type of games to relax, not for super complex puzzles. If I want those there are plenty available. This game has great atmosphere and while a bit challenging, it is not overly complicated. Also, not one ad appeared. I'm going to check out other Novasoft games to purchase. Thank you developers for for a great game experience! (seriously, btw I have no affiliation with them, I just enjoy a good game, which there seem to be few)
