The Black Mirror Hints
How do I use this clue to get the key?
1 of 12: It says to go to the library and start looking on the work table.
2 of 12: That's the big table in the rear part of the library. Search it carefully.

9 of 12: Examine the secret cabinet to find and take a box of wood carvings that represent the nine planets of our solar system.
10 of 12: To figure out where to use those, look around in the other portions of the library.
11 of 12: Check out the big globe in the central part.
