For the most part I truly enjoyed the game. The graphics were nicely done and the tone of the story was pleasantly mysterious. My least favorite parts were the “spatial reasoning puzzles” where parts have to be put in the right order to make things function. They have nothing to do with moving the story along nor do they have any connection to the problem at hand, just filler that eats up some time and makes the game play out longer. To me, they are tedious and the most silly part of this kind of puzzle game. If I want that kind of boring crap I’ll play a rousing game of Sudoku. I feel like I’m getting short-changed paying for an escape game that is fraught with tiresome filler. I’ll probably get the next game in the series (with lowered expectations) but will most likely take the shortcut around the banal “shuffle the pieces” segments. Nice game, but you can do better.

I like this game and it’s very similar to games made by Glitch Games. 1 star less because some puzzles don’t make sense. But fortunately the hints (most of the time) are really good and helpful in getting you by so you don’t have to look outside the app for answer. The story is interesting and it makes me wanting to get going. Also the puzzles are variety and non-repetitive which is good and non-boring. Overall it’s an enjoyable game. Note: After playing for a while I realized this is not the beginning of the story/game. You need to download and play “157 Prologue” first (a short intro game) before continuing on this game which “157 Chapter 1”. So confusing.

I really enjoyed this game. It’s a great point and click adventure with mostly logical puzzles that I could complete it in Hard mode. Plenty of scenes to enjoy and seamless game play on my iPad Pro 11. I deducted half a star because I found the graphic resolution lacking definition - felt like an old game unable to render properly on a new device. The other half-star was for making me play the same puzzle 4 times in a row - an old gimmick to lengthen game play and boring for the gamer. Despite that, I will buy Chapter 2 when it comes out. These pure PAC adventure games are few and far between these days, so a big thank you to the devs!
