You can buy Meridian 157 on STEAM. The game has 4 chapters, the Prologue chapter and the chapters 1, 2, and 3. 

The prologue chapter is for free to play on Steam but you must buy the other 3 chapters

You are David Zander, a forensic meteorologist. A storm has caused a power outage. You wake up next to your computer screen.  At the bottom left of the screen you see a downward pointing arrow, which makes you go back when you press it. When the arrow disappears you can't go further back. When you click on something, a box with thoughts of David regularly appears at the top of the screen, but don't worry after a few seconds it disappears again.

Press the arrow in the left corner twice.  Left of the exit door you see a hanging cupboard on the wall. In one of the boxes of that cupboard stand your photo camera an on one of the pegs hangs your inventory bag. Click on the hanging cupboard to zoom in on it. to the left of the door and 

Take the bag and the camera.  From now on you have your camera at the bottom left and your inventory bag at the bottom right in your screen.  Click on the bag and you will see an inventory of five fields that are, of course, now still empty. If you have collected more than five objects, you can slide with the arrow left or right to see the rest of the stuff you've collected. 

Click on the camera. The camera screen comes up and you see that there are no recordings on the memory card yet. Click the camera icon on the right to take your first picture. Each picture you make with the camera uses 5% of the memory card, so you can take 20 photos. Once you have made several pictures, you can move through this series with the arrow keys below the camera icon. You can delete a recording with the trash can icon. 

Note the the curved arrows icon at the top right of the camera screen. 

If you click on it, the recording will turn upside down and this function will come in handy on several occasions

This first picture that you just took with the camera will be of now use to you but it takes up 5% of the memory card, so it's best to delete this picture. Click outside the camera screen to put the camera back at bottom left. Click the back arrow to take one step back. On the back wall, at your desk, hangs a Bulletin board. Zoom in on the Bulletin board
