Meridian 157: Chapter 1

Great puzzle game. Useful hints. The graphics, the music, and the story are very well done. But the video cuts scenes won't play on Steam.

Приключения у деда в деревне часть 1

Fantastic game. I played this on Hard mode, and it was still very intuitive to figure out what the puzzles wanted out of me. The few times I got stuck I either had to take a step back to clear my head or I hadn't known to click on something on the screen. For the latter part, the best advice I have is to remain in the current mini-area because the game is never going to force you to backtrack unless there is an explicit puzzle still unsolved in a previous area, which, if you keep notes like me, will always have a known reason to returning. This minimizes the amount of places to click around aimlessly. Consider what items you have and what areas (within the current mini-zone) are available to you. The puzzles rarely require more than one clue, so that's also helpful for knocking out possibilities. I was pleasantly surprised that fixing the elevator wasn't the end of the chapter. There's a level after that with more puzzles, which helped round out the experience. There is one jumpscare in this that I'd say is relatively mild. You're never in any danger, so it's primarily to set the mood. Loved it. Can't wait to start the next chapter.
