The Black Mirror Hints
Where are the instructions I need to start the lift engine?
1 of 9: They're inside one of the lockers in the lift generator room.
2 of 9: They're in the locked one, of course. You'll need to locate the key.
3 of 9: The man using the locker kept the key on him.
4 of 9: Maybe the guy that died in here has the key. (To read about his fate, get the book from the nearby table.)
5 of 9: Right-click on the skeleton on the floor to find the key.
6 of 9: Unlock the locker with it, then take everything inside it.
7 of 9: The plans you get contain the instructions you need to start the generator.
8 of 9: But how can Samuel "transfer" this information from the paper document to the generator itself?
9 of 9: This is an adventure game, not real life! Just "use" the instructions (i.e., select them from inventory) on the lift engine's control panel to get it started.
