What players say
I had quit playing games for several years, came across Meridian 157 thinking I can do this. I absolutely loved the game, loved the graphics and am happy to say I finished it. I started the game at 79 yrs. old, had a birthday this past week, so, I finished it at 80. lol This game was VERY difficult for me but I loved it and would recommend it!

Hmm well... Fudgesickle. I finally finished... And I gotta say... I do enjoy stories that end with being "open to your own interpretation". I also hated that Calibration puzzle. I had some choice words for it... Then it got decimated... So I was glad. Otherwise... This is the 3rd Chapter, the Final Chapter and the HARDEST Chapter! Mini game wise! They sure went all out with this one!!! At one point whilst walking...
