The Black Mirror Hints

How can I get here?

  • 1 of 8: Use the map to travel here.
  • 2 of 8: But first, you'll have to have a reason to come here.
  • 3 of 8: There's a point in the game where you'll need to travel to Willow Creek to develop some film.
  • 4 of 8: But before the game will let you come, you'll also have to have certain inventory items and have done certain other investigative things.
  • 5 of 8: See the three Black Mirror Manor hint sections for detailed hints on completing the necessary tasks.
  • 6 of 8: Read on if you want an exact list of what you need to do. (Caution: the next hint contains some spoilers.)
  • 7 of 8: In particular, you'll need to have:

    * gotten the strange object from the bushes and asked Bates and Henry about it.
    * restored the torn-up photo from the old wing's fireplace and asked Victoria and Robert about it.
    * gotten Dr. Hermann to agree to send someone to meet you at 7 o'clock with William's things.
    * gotten the pills and wallet from Samuel's room.
    * gotten the sweets from the dining room.
  • 8 of 8: If you are still having difficulty getting to Willow Creek, you can also refer to the first portion of the checklist on ending Chapter I. (Caution: the checklist contains even more spoilers.) Also, be aware that the list is intended to help end the chapter, so it also contains information that you will not encounter until later in the chapter.
