The Black Mirror Hints

Now how do I get the lift generator working?

  • 1 of 7: Once the generator room is lit up, look for the generator controls along the same wall as the fusebox, further to the left.
  • 2 of 7: They're useless until the big lift engine that's up in the engine room is turned on.
  • 3 of 7: After the engine is turned on, return to the lift generator room to find another problem.
  • 4 of 7: There's steam escaping from one of the pipes. Steam equals power, so this leak isn't a good thing.
  • 5 of 7: As soon as the steam leak is fixed, the thing breaks again! Look around for something you could repair.
  • 6 of 7: It blew a fuse! Check the nearby fusebox to verify that one of the fuses needs to be replaced.
  • 7 of 7: Once you have a good fuse, use it on the fusebox with the blown fuse to make the switch, then click on the generator controls to get the system running again. Lift power at last!
