Evaluation

Meridian 157: Chapter 1 is a single-episode point-and-click adventure game that released on December 9, 2020. The store description markets it as "Chapter 1" in an episodic series and references a free prologue, indicating it was designed as a self-contained installment rather than a game that would receive ongoing post-launch content additions. There is no DLC listed, no announced expansions or future content, and no developer roadmap or plans for additional content within this specific title. The only post-launch developer communication is a maintenance patch on March 31, 2026 that addressed minor bugs and quality-of-life fixes — a sign that the developer still maintains the game technically, but not that new story content is coming. This game launched as a complete, finished chapter in a series; any continuation of the story would be a separate release (such as a Chapter 2 or Chapter 3 title), not content added to this product.
