The Black Mirror Hints
How can I fix the lighter?
1 of 9: Did you look at it closely in inventory?
2 of 9: It's missing a wick.
3 of 9: Can you think of a place where you can get a new one?
4 of 9: The candle has a wick, but you don't want to mess it up before you can light it and use it to explore the cabinet, right?
5 of 9: Wrong! You won't be able to light the candle without a working lighter, anyway. And you could probably just use the lighter as a light source.
6 of 9: You won't be able to get the wick out with just your fingers!
7 of 9: Check the inventory for something that could help.
8 of 9: Use your trusty old chess piece knife on the candle to cut the candle wax away from its wick.
9 of 9: In your inventory, apply the wick to the lighter to get a working lighter.
