Story

29 of 166 sampled reviews raised it
Even tho, Meridian 157 Prologue is just an introduction to the main game (which has 3 chapters out at the moment), nonetheless, it’s portrays truthfully the adventure spirit and how interesting this story is!
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
27 of 166 sampled reviews raised it
Despite the small download size, this game is well optimised, and the game is smooth, the graphics are fine for what they are.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
13 of 166 sampled reviews raised it
For me, this was the right level of puzzle difficulty: there was something to think about, but in the same time it wasn’t too difficult.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 166 sampled reviews raised it
A short (it took me an hour and 45 minutes, and at least half of that was the game running in the background while I was trying to get the cutscenes to work) point-and-click adventure that's well-executed, with nice-looking art and good sound design (apart from the background music, which I can't comment on since it never played for me).
