Meridian 157: Chapter 2 in IOS

Point and click escape mystery

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Site Score

91/100

Meridian 157: Chapter 2 is a masterclass in atmospheric point-and-click puzzle design. Picking up right where the previous chapter left off, you are David Zander, trapped deep underground on a forgotten island. The sense of isolation and creeping dread is palpable, thanks to the state-of-the-art rendering technology and a custom-written soundtrack that perfectly captures the 'spooky' tone of the island's mystery.

The puzzles themselves are the stars of the show. They strike that perfect balance of being challenging yet logical, and the new 'item combine' feature adds a layer of depth that previous entries lacked. If you do get stuck, the hint system is one of the best in the genre—it gives you a nudge in the right direction without spoiling the solution entirely. It’s a long, engaging installment that proves NovaSoft Interactive are current leaders in the modern escape-mystery genre. If you haven't played the Prologue yet, do that first, then prepare to lose yourself in Chapter 2.

Dinsun Review

Now this is more like it. I’ve lived through the golden age of Sierra and LucasArts, so I have a high bar for adventure games. Meridian 157 doesn't try to be flashy; it tries to be smart. The puzzles are grounded in logic—mostly—and the atmosphere is heavy and brooding. It's quiet, methodical, and doesn't hold your hand with flashing icons every five seconds. It’s a bit short, and some of the environmental textures are a tad muddy, but for the price, it provides a solid cerebral challenge that is missing from most of the 'freemium' garbage out there.
