The Black Mirror Hints

What good are Henry's old clothes?

  • 1 of 6: Have you examined them?
  • 2 of 6: Samuel says the pockets are empty, but he feels something hard inside.
  • 3 of 6: Maybe something is sewn into the clothing, or is in a secret pocket of some sort.
  • 4 of 6: What's a quick and simple way to get at something like that, given that you don't particularly care if the clothes get damaged a bit?
  • 5 of 6: Cut them open! You should have something sharp left in your inventory from Chapter I.
  • 6 of 6: Use the chess piece knife on the clothes. (Note that the blade has to be extended, so right-click on the chess piece if it isn't.)
