Meridian 157: Chapter 1

About

Meridian 157: Chapter 1 drops you into a crumbling research facility buried in a frozen wilderness. You wander decaying labs and sealed corridors hunting clues about the place's purpose and your own entrapment. The focus is on environmental puzzles and piecing together fragmented records. Every rusted door and cryptic note adds to the mystery of why this site was abandoned, and what might still be lurking inside. Players note the game’s tense atmosphere and deliberate pacing, with many praising its minimalist storytelling. Sparse dialogue forces you to read logs and environmental cues to fill gaps. Available on multiple platforms since late 2019, it’s a slow-burn experience that leans heavily on isolation and quiet dread. The first chapter ends on a cliffhanger, leaving the full story unresolved.
