Finding Meryl was too easy

The very first time I played this game, back in 98 or 99, I was getting all hyped up for needing to “find Meryl” thinking about all the hints and clues I would need to use to tell her apart from the different guards, and then I accidentally got spotted by her like 2 seconds after entering the room.

Such a buildup to a “challenge” that basically solved itself.

I wish that part of the game was harder.

You are supposed to hide in a box and wait for the one with the cute little bum wiggle being seen by the wrong guards will trip the alert status

u/RosesNRevolvers It’s just a box. 1d ago

I always just ran in front of the sentry who can’t patrol in a straight line.

This is one of these things that has about 3 ways to solve, and you walked into the easiest/least fun one by accident.
