The Black Mirror Hints
Release Notes
This is release 3 of the Black Mirror hint file, and was made just so I could add in some tips for solving the *extremely* common problem of not being able to get into the church when you should in Chapter 2. I'm still offering the saved game that gets you in, but if you use the new tips, you probably won't need it. (Thanks to Les, Sherry Waterhouse, Helen and Dennis Zimmer, Ann Wilkinson, and several others for providing and verifying this information.)
Release 2 included the following improvements over release 1:
* small correction to the manor ground floor map
* added notes about how I'll provide saved games to help with certain problems, like getting into the church in Chapter II and using up both bullets on the mine's exit door
* added notes to the Chapter II tomb riddles (thanks to Marlieke Leever and Anja Kempkens for the information)
