Part A:

Chapter 1: Day 1

Fuller's Photo Store:

A young man hurries through the streets of Biddeford to the Fuller Photo Shop, where he has a summer job. This young man is Darren Michael. As Darren, you are the main character in this game. Once in the Fuller Fhoto Shop, Darren's boss isn't very friendly. There seems to be a power outage and Darren is ordered to quickly restore the power supply.

Darren has ended up in the basement of Fuller's Photo Shop. A page from the diary opens at the top left and at the same time you see a booklet flashing at the top right. That flashing booklet is the diary. Every time something new is written in the diary it pops open and starts blinking. In the diary you can always read what Darren has to do and which tasks he has to do or has already done. If you want you can read the diary now.

Move the cursor to the bottom of the screen. The Inventory will then pop open. Darren currently has a photo camera and a postcard of Biddeford in his inventory. Right click on the postcard. Darren then talks about the postcard and he says that the postcard is an easy way to travel from location to location. But that is only possible if you have visited a location first.

Darren's boss Fuller is incredibly grumpy and also very impatient, so let's not make it more difficult for Darren than it already is and get the power back as fast as lightning. A large photo background canvas hangs on the large wall. That photo background cloth hangs in a suspension mechanism with 5 pull ropes with which 5 different photo backgrounds can be raised and lowered. But for now, you don't have to do anything with that photo background cloth.

Against the wall where the stairs are there is a kind of cupboard (Crammed shelves). The lower part of thatcupboard is closed with shelves. Above those shelves hangs the fuse box that contains the fuses for the power supply. On the cupboard shelf, to the left of the fuse box, is a box and in that box is 1 fuse (Fuse). Left click on the cupboard shelf (Crammes shelves), right next to the fuse box. Darren then lists what is on that shelf and ... finds a box with fuses. Left click on the box of Fuses (carton of fuses) to take the box. The box disappears to the inventory.

Move your cursor to the bottom of the screen to open the inventory and then right-click on the box and Darren tells that there is still 1 fuse in the box and he takes the fuse out of the box and throws the empty box away. Left click on the Planks (Wooden pallet) to remove those planks. You will then see a bottle of Photo-developing fluid (Developer) at the bottom of the cupboard. Left click 2 times on the bottle of Photodeveloper to get the bottle

Left click on the fuse box. Darren gives you some info on the fuse box. Left click again on the fuse box to open it. You will see 4 fuse holders. At the bottom right you see the On/Off switch. Number the 4 holders, from left to right, 1, 2, 3, 4. The fuse in holder 2 has blown. The holders are covered with a lid. Left click on holder 2 to remove the lid. You will then see the blown fuse. Left click 2 times on holder 2 to remove the blown fuse. Take the new Fuse from inventory and place it in the now empty holder 2.Click on the On / Off switch and ..... The power is restored and the lights come on.

Darren throws away the old fuse and also puts out the candle. Click with the door cursor on the stairs and Darren goes back upstairs and ends up in the store. Boss Fuller growls and snaps at Darren and orders him to put the advertisingboard on the sidewalk outside the store. Walk a little to the right and you will see the advertisingboard. Left click on the advertisingboard to pick it up and .....

Darren walks out with the billboard and puts it outside.

A pretty girl walks up and teases Darren for putting the billboard upside down. This girl is Angelina

Angelina wants to have pictures taken of herself and Darren is very keen to do this job. Unfortunately for Darren, his boss is also very hot on pretty young girls, so old Fuller wants to do the pictures with Angelina himself. Fuller sends Darren off to complete 2 assignments. From Fuller you get a pick-up form and letter for Mrs. Biba, the manageress of Biba's Diner. The pick-up form is for a package and that package can be picked up in the souvenir shop

Darren walks out sulking and then stands back on the sidewalk in front of the photo shop. Via the bottom left you can walk a screen to the left, to the village square (Road to main square). Beyond Fuller's photo shop is the Junk Shop. Fuller's red pickup truck is parked across the street. At the Junk Shop there is a tree and a traffic light hangs above the street. In the distance you can also see the sea. If you put the cursor at the bottom of the tree you will get the Exit to the Harbor Promenade and Darren has to go there now. So click with the door cursor at the bottom of the tree to go to the Havenpromenade.

Harbor promenade

Souvenir shop:

Darren ends up in the harbor and at the front door of the Souvenir shop. The Souvenir Shop is also the local post office. A red convertible is parked in front of the store. There is a lifebelt under the Souvenirs sign. On the left, on the pier, a brown-haired girl stands by the railing, staring out over the water. To the right of that girl, part of the top bar of the railing has disappeared. That rod is there on the floor. Ahead is an older man fishing. Near the girl is a sign pointing to "The Wild Coast" Hotel nailed to the round end pillar. Left click on the red convertible to hear Darren's commentary. Left click on the Lifebelt to hear Darren's commentary about it as well.Enter the souvenir shop

Rosie, the proprietor of the souvenir shop shop, is talking to a customer. Stop and listen. The customer is a blonde girl and she apparently owns the red convertible parked outside the door.The conversation between Rosie and the blonde girl keeps repeating itself, so if you don't want to keep listening for eternity, left click with the talk cursor on Rosie to brek in on the conversation. However, Rosie isn't too keen on you trying to push ahead, so she tells you to just wait your turn properly.  So the conversation between Rosie and the blond girl goes on endlessly. You have to do something to get that blonde girl out of the store. 

Go back outside and left click on the red convertible again and Darren kicks the car and this causes the car alarm to go off. 

While the car's alarm is still sounding, quickly enter the souvenir shop again and see .....

..... the blonde girl now runs outside to see what is wrong with her car.

Note: If you enter the souvenir shop when the car alarm has stopped sounding, the blonde girl will of course not hear the alarm and will not run out of the shop. Then kick the convertible again and then quickly go back inside while you still hear the alarm.

So Rosie is now "free". On the counter, which Rosie is standing behind, is the cash register and a holder containing Blank collection notes.Right-click on those Blank Collection notes so that you will get the opportunity to steal one of those notes quickly in a minute. When you have looked at those collection forms, click again with the talk cursor on Rosie to talk to her

Darren then says that he has come tocollect the package for Fuller and Rosie gives the package to him. Rosie then tells that a 2nd package has been delivered for Fuller, but she does not want to hand over that 2nd package because Darren does not have the collection form for it.

Talk to Rosie again. Now the conversation options appear at the bottom of your screen, in the form of small photos. You can now talk to Rosie about Angelina and about Rosie and also about the Package for Darren. First, ask Rosie everything about Angelina and about Rosie herself. Then ask for the "Package for Darren". When you ask Rosie about the "Package for Darren" Rosie turns around to look in the mailboxes for the package. Of course there is no such package, but Rosie has to bend over and then has her back to Darren and cannot see what Darren is doing for a moment. Quicky click on the holder with Collection forms to quickly grab such a form.

NB: Darren is obscuring the counter so you can't see those forms. But if you quickly put the cursor on Darren's buttocks you will get the grab cursor and read "Blank collection notes".Then click quickly to grab a form. Right click in inventory on the just stolen collection form and hear from Darren what you can do with it. So you have to fill out the form and then give the completed form back to Rosie to get that 2nd package for Fuller. But Darren can't do that here. Leave the store.

So to the left of the souvenir shop is the pier and on the pier is a girl staring over the water at the railing. To the right of the girl, the top bar of the railing has disappeared. That bar is near the "hole" on the floor (Metal bar). Walk on to the girl.
Click with your cursor on that metal bar, which lies on the floor to the right of the railing. Darren then walks over and gives some commentary. Now you can take the Metal Bar. So click again on the Metal Bar to grab the thing.

 When you have taken the metal bar you go chat with the girl.

The girl is sad because 2 years ago her best friend Carrie committed suicide right here in this place. Carrie actually had a great life because she was intelligent and happily married to Jason. But from one day to the next, Carrie fell into a depression and suddenly drowned herself here at the pier. That was 2 years ago. Jason has now remarried, to that girl from the red convertible.

The girl wants to be left alone, so Darren decides not to bother her any further, especially since a letter has yet to be delivered to Claire Biba, the manageress of the local cafeteria. To go to Biba's Diner you first have to go back to the photo shop. You can do this on foot, but you can now also travel via the Postcard. Press the M key on your keyboard to bring up the Postcard. On the postcard you can see the various locations where you can go. So you can quickly travel from one location to another via the postcard. But you must have visited a location first to make it available on the postcard. 

The locations you can go to are: A = promenade/Pier/Souvenirwinkel. B = The Wild Coast Hotel. C = Fuller's Photo Shop. D = MainSquare/ Biba's Diner. E = Darren's mother's house. F = Square/Hospital/City Hall. G = shows you the total overview of the town where you can "Highlight" all locations A to F. 

At the moment there are 2 locations "activated" on the postcard and those are Fuller's photoshop and the Pierpromenade. Click on the postcard on Fuller's Photoshop (C) to quickly return to it now.  Darren ends up back down the street at Fuller's photo shop. Do not enter the photo shop now, but click with the Exit cursor in the bottom left corner of the screen (Road to main square) and .... Darren then walks one screen to the left and ends up on the:

Village square:

The square is surrounded by buildings. In the center of the square is a tree and a statue. The building behind the tree is the Police Station/City Hall. The side street is the street to Fuller's Fotoshopl. On the right side of the square is Claire Biba's restaurant, Biba's diner. A red convertible is parked in front of Biba's diner. Take a look around the square first. Walk to the left. 

On the left side of the square you will find the Hospital. Between the Police Station/City Hall and the Hospital is the street where Darren's mother lives and where he is staying. There is a telephone booth at the Hospital. Walk back to the right, to Biba's Diner. Click with the Exit cursor on the door of Biba's Diner.

Darren then faces Biba's Diner. There is a gumball machine between the windows (Bubble gum machine). Enter the Diner.

Biba's Dinner:

The waitress, Claire Biba, is talking to a guy. Claire Biba's husband is the cook and owner of the diner, and is busy in the kitchen. 

When the conversation between Claire Biba and that guy is over, the guy leaves the restaurant, bumping into Darren. Claire Biba disappears behind the counter and walks back and forth. In the front dining room, a young doctor is enjoying his lunch. Click on Claire Biba with your talk cursor to talk to her..... Claire Biba and Darren talk to each other at the end of the counter. Darren says he's bringing a letter from Fuller. 

Claire Biba acts secretive and takes Darren to the back. Darren and Claire Biba are out of the picture for a while, but we hear Claire Biba, who is clearly not a fan of Fuller. On the contrary....Claire Biba calls Fuller a swine and a bastard. You get the impression that Claire Biba is being blackmailed a bit by Fuller. Would Claire Biba have "ridden a crooked skate"?

Claire Biba and Darren reappear as Mr. Biba screams from the kitchen for Mrs. Biba to turn her attention back to the customers. Click with the talk cursor on Claire Biba again to actually talk to her. You now get "Fuller", the "Letter from Fuller", and "Carrie" as conversation topics. Ask Claire Biba on all topics. 

However, Claire Biba refuses to talk about "Fuller" and about the "Letter from Fuller". So, after using the "Fuller" and the "Letter from Fuller" topic, click with your talk cursor on Claire Biba again to talk to her again. Eventually you use the "Carrie" topic and Claire Biba wants to talk about this, although she doesn't want to say much about Carrie either. When you finally have completed the 3 topics of conversation with Claire Biba, there is nothing left to discuss with Claire Biba.

About halfway there is a basket of bread on the counter. To the right of that bread basket is a bottle of Vinegar (Vinigar). Look at the bottle of Vinegar with your eye cursor. Darren then lists what is next to the bread basket on the counter and then knows that there is also a bottle of Vinegar. Take the bottle of vinegar. There is only a little bit of vinegar left in the flesson. Also take a few slices of bread from the bread basket. 

Right click in inventory on the bread slices to crumble the slices. You then have Breadcrumbs in your inventory. 

Click the Exit cursor at the bottom right of the screen to leave the diner. 

But before Darren can walk out, he is approached by that young doctor, whose name is Dr. Newhouse is. 

Dr. Newhouse tells Darren that his mom didn't show up today, which is weird because Darren's mom has never missed an appointment. Darren promises to call his mother about this and he walks out. Outside again, take out the postcard (M key or right click on the postcard in inventory). Travel via the postcard back to:

Fuller's Photo Shop:

Angelina is standing in front of the photo shop and she is furious because she was harassed by Fuller while taking the photos.  Fuller proves to be quite a pervert when it comes to his female clients. Angelina asks if Darren can take the photos to her hotel room and Darren promises he will. Angelina is staying at the Wild Coast Hotel. Angelina walks away and ..... Darren then notices that Angelina is followed by the guy who was talking to Claire Biba in the Diner.

 Fuller appears and takes Darren inside to give him new assignments. Darren has to clean the store and fix the leaking water pipe, and he also has to go back to the post office/souvenir shop to pick up some photo paper. Click with your talk cursor on Fuller to talk extensively with the bastard about all the conversation topics you get now. Fuller doesn't really want to tell Darren about any subject, but you get the impression that he knows more about Carrie and Claire Biba. Darren is not allowed to develop Angelina's photos by Fuller and he thinks those photos are still in the camera.

To the left of Fuller's counter is the area where Fuller takes his customers' photos and that's where the camera is on the tripod. Look at the camera on the tripod. Darren says that the film with Angelina's pictures is still in the camera, but he can't take it out of the camera right now while pervert Fuller is in the store. In the front of the screen is a standard with postcards. Behind the postcard stand is a low cabinet with a few photo cameras. Behind that cupboard you see 2 doors. The left door is the door to the back room  and the right door is the door to the basement. You also see a curtain on the left. Behind that curtain is Fuller's DOKA (Way through to Darkoom). Take a look at everything first and then go through the back room door to the:

Backroom:

Darren stands in the hall and looks into the back room. The back room apparently serves as an office and kitchenette. On the left is the door to the backyard. A cuckoo clock hangs on the wall. There is a telephone on the desk and next to the telephone is a cup with pens and pencils in it. First look at that cup containing pens and pencils. Darren reports that there is a ballpoint pen in the cup. Move away from the desk for a moment so that you can see the phone and that cup again. Then click on the ball pen cup again  to grab that ballpoint pen. Walk away again so that you can see the phone again. Darren had that Dr. Newhouse promised to call his mom, so click on the phone and...

Darren calls his mother's number but the line is busy. Darren thinks his mother is already on the phone with someone herself. 

Fuller enters and is angry that Darren wants to make a phone call during working hours. 

Fuller says that Darren's mother called earlier and said something about one "Adrian" and about a "Mirror". Fuller has some nasty snarls about Darren's mother, but she won't stop listening. Darren runs away to his mother's house and ...... finds his mother lying unconscious on the floor.

House of Darren's Mother:

Living room:

Darren's mother lies unconscious on the floor and Darren sits with her. Darren has to examine his mother to see if she is still alive. Left click on mother's breasts (Check heartbeat) to check mother's heartbeat. Luckily Mummy's heart is still beating, so she's still alive. There is a white telephone on the table. Click on the phone to call an ambulance (Call ambulance). 5 minutes later mother is taken by ambulance to the hospital. Dr Newhouse has come with the ambulance and tells Darren to find out who his mother's GP is. Darren also has to take his mother's medicines and medication report and insurance policy to the Hospital.

So Darren is in his mother's  living room and is standing at the table with the telephone on it. Behind Darren is a large closet and a telescope. Right behind the large closet is the bedroom. On the left of the kitchenette is the bathroom. In front of the kitchen is the sitting area and it consists of a sofa, a chair, a small sofa stool and a coffee table. Mother's medicine box (Pill dispenser) is on the coffee table. Mother's handbag is in the chair. Look at the Pill dispenser and listen to Darren's commentary. When Darren has finished take the Pill dispenser to put it in inventory. 

Darren reports that Mother also has other medicines and he still has to find them. Look at the Handbag, which is in the chair. Darren reports that Mother keeps all her important papers in her handbag. Click again on the Handbag and ..... Darren searches the handbag and then takes out Mother's Insurance card and that card disappears into your inventory. Go to the:

Bedroom:

To the right of the four-poster bed is a Chest of drawers. Click on the Chest of drawers. Darren opens the top drawer of the bedside table and explains that there is nothing in it that he needs. Darren closes the top drawer again. Darren does not automatically open the bottom drawer, so click  the bottom drawer to open it. Darren then takes his mother's Address Book from the bottom drawer.  Right-click the Address Book in inventory. There is a  pot plant on a saucer in the windowsill. Click 2x the Pot plant. Darren slides the flower pot away and .... finds a small  copper key that was under the flower pot.Take the Key(Brass key). 

Have a look at the desk. Darren says that his mother does her financial administration at the desk

. At the moment, Darren doesn't feel like working on the desk. Leave the bedroom to the living room again and then go to the:

Bathroom:

Darren stops in the hallway, in the bathroom doorway. On the left is the bedroom and via the bottom of the screen you go back to the living room. On the left is a painting depicting an old oak tree. Click that painting. You enter the close-up of the painting. It's a painting of the old lighthouse of  "Willow Creek" in England. What does Darren's mother have to do with the Black Mirror house? Click with your eye cursor on the painting again and then listen to Darren's commentary.

Click, to the right of the painting, with the Exit cursor to exit the close-up. Now walk into the bathroom. There is a hanging cupboard on the wall in the bathroom. 

There are jars, etc. in the hanging cupboard. Left-click the hanging cupboard .....Darren tells that there are also Mother's medicines in the cupboard and Darren automatically takes all the medicines from the hanging cupboard. In inventory you now have all of Mother's medicines (Medication). Go, via the bottom of the screen, back to the:

Living room:

Click with your eye cursor on the table where the phone is on, so the table near the telescope. You will return to the close-up of the table.

 Now combine the small Copper Key with the Address Book in inventory to open the address book. Then right-click on the Address Book that has now opened and ..... Darren will find the name and telephone number of his mother's GP in the address book. That doctor is Dr. Wakefield. Click again on the phone and ...

.......Darren calls that Dr. Wakefield up. Wakefield will fax Mother's drug report to the Hospital. 

You now also experience that Darren's mother has had severe back pain for quite some time, for which she wears a corset. 

Mother also appears to have burn scars on her body.

In inventory right-click the Postcard and then click on the Hospital and ..... Darren ends up back in the village square. Enter the Hospital:

Hospital:

The game now goes on "autopilot" for a while. 

Darren automatically gives his mother's medicines to the nurse/receptionist, who also says that mother is currently being examined. Darren has to wait. 

Darren sits down but is rather restless. After a while, Darren is called by the receptionist who says something is wrong with mom's insurance. Mother has not paid the last premium and therefore the insurance will not reimburse the costs of the hospital. Darren gets the insurance card back and is allowed to go to his mother. Dr. Newhouse says that Mother is not well. Mother is in a coma and it is unlikely she will ever wake up. Darren blames Fuller for not warning him when his mother called the case.

Dr. Newhouse has now left him and Darren is standing by the bed where mother is lying. Click with the talk cursor on mother. Darren stands and talks to himself for a moment. Then click again with the talk cursor on mother and .... For a moment, mother wakes up and looks at Darren while muttering "The Mirror...Don't go through the Mirror". Darren thinks he's imagining it at first, but then he wonders what the hell his mom meant. Mother has gone back to sleep.

There is a stethoscope at the foot of the bed. Look at the stethoscope and then take the stethoscope. Under the bed is a scale (Scales). Look at the scale with your eye. Darren doesn't want to take the scale with him. Click on the bedside table. Darren takes a bottle of Laxative from one of the drawers, apparently left by a previous patient. 

Exit the room, back to the reception hall.

The stranger, who you also saw in Biba's Diner and who later followed Angelina, asks the receptionist about Darren's mother.

 As soon as the guy sees Darren, he leaves the Hospital with rocket speed

Talk to the nurse/receptionist again and do so completely, so use all the conversation topics you get now.

The nurse/receptionist also doesn't know who the strange guy is who just inquired about Darren's mother. But the sister thinks, based on the guy's accent, that he's an Englishman. Dr. Newhouse is not from Biddeford but came here from Atlanta several years ago. In Atlanta, Newhouse was the medical director of a very large hospital. In fact, Newhouse is overqualified to work as an ordinary doctor in a small village hospital.This receptionist sister was a friend of Carrie, who committed suicide 2 years ago by walking into the sea. However, Carrie's body was never found. The sister advises Darren to search his mother's bank statements to see if she has paid the insurance premiums. If so, the sister can make it right.When you have asked everything to the nurse/receptionist, you close the conversation center. You keep the insurance card topic, no matter how many times you click on it, because apparently you have to talk to the nurse about it later. 

The bottom right corner is the "waiting room". On the small brown table are a few magazines . 

Left-click 2x on the magazines and Darren picks up a fashion magazine and a car magazine. 

Walk to the left. You will then see the doors to Room 1 (Station 1), where Darren's mother is lying. Bottom left is the hallway to the mortuary. You will also see an office.There is also a soda machine against the wall here. First look at the soda machine  and then click on it again and....... Darren takes a bottle of orange Lemonade from the machine.

Travel, via the postcard,back to:

Fuller's Photo Shop:

Click on the shop door to enter. However, Darren does not go in because he sees that stranger is inside and talking to Fuller. So Darren doesn't want to go in now, because then the stranger will just run away again. However, Darren wants to know what Fuller and the strange guy have to discuss. Between Fuller's Photo Shop and the green Junk Shop is the alley to the back yard of the Photo Shop. Click with the exit cursor in the alley and Darren lands on the:

Back Yard:

Above the back door is a Pivoting window that is open. To the left of the back door is a bucket. At the corner, under the left window, is a Dog gage. At the right window is a cellar grate (Grating) in the ground. Against the wall of the yard is a small Tool shed. On the left you can just see the hood of a car and on the hood is a Tow-rope.

Click on the left window. Darren sees Fuller and the stranger in the back room through the window but cannot hear what they are discussing. Check out the back door. The back door is locked with a hook on the inside. The skylight above the door is open. Click that Pivoting window, it gives Darren an idea.  Look around and see everything you can see with the eye cursor first.

Look at the cellar grate, under the right window. Darren could reach the basement through the grate, but lifting the grate would make too much noise. So Darren decides to find another way to get in. Left-click 2x on the Bucket. The bucket is rusty and has holes in the bottom but Darren takes the handle of the bucket and stores it in inventory. Click the Doghouse. Darren says the dog is usually indoors and almost never in the dog house. Place your cursor back on the doghouse and now take the water bowl from the dog house.

Click in the tool shed. After Darren has told that Fuller keeps all his old junk in the shed, click again in the shed and ... Darren then says that he sees a fishing rod with fishing line in the shed. So click in the shed and Darren takes a Spool of Fishing Line from the shed. Unfortunately, Darren does not find a fishing hook in the shed.

 Look at the Tow-rope that is on the hood of the car. Darren says it's a great tow rope. Take the Tow Rope. Walk back to the back door. In inventory, combine the bucket handle with the spool of fishing line. You then get a fishing line with hook. Take the  line with hook from inventory and click it on the pivoting window and ......Darren manages to unlock the door with the fishing line Darren.

Now click with the exit cursor on the door and Darren goes in and eavesdrops on the conversation between Fuller and that stranger.

The stranger inquires about Darren, Darren's mother, and Angelina from Fuller. Suddenly the cuckoo clock starts screaming and Darren quickly gets back to the back yard. Walk back through the alley to the street and then enter the photo shop through the front door. Fuller's not in the store. Continue to the left again and then go through the cellar door to the Cellar. Darren now discovers a secret door in the basement, in the wall where the photo backdrop always hangs. Click with the Exit cursor on the Secret Door and .....

Fuller emerges and Darren and Fuller get into a fierce argument. Darren now  gets fired by Fuller and leaves the photo shop. Travel to the:

Souvenir shop:

Darren has ended up at the Souvenir Shop/Post Office again. The red convertible is still parked in front of the store. Do not go in yet, but first combine the ball pen with the Blank collection note in inventory to fill in the form now. Then go inside. The blond girl whose red convertible is still outside the door is also still inside, looking at the magazines. Talk to Rosie and ask her about the Packet of Photo paper first.

Darren gives the self-completed collection form to Rosie, who nevertheless refuses to give the photo paper to Darren because the postman's signature is not on the form. Now continue talking about all the other topics to get some background info from Rosie about the various characters you've met in the game so far. The most important thing you learn from Rosie is that the blonde fluzie, who is diligently looking at the magazines, is a fashion model and that she is loaded with money. The fact that the blonde is a fashion model is very interesting to Darren. When you have asked Rosie everything, you close the conversation. 

Go talk to the blonde bitch in the corner by the magazines. Again, use all the topics you get here

Darren lies through his teath at the dumb blonde and showers her with compliments. The blonde initially denies that she is a fashion model, but Darren slimes and lies lustfully and then asks the blonde for a photo. The blonde doesn't have a picture of herself with her, but Darren knows a solution for that.... Fuller's Photo Shop. However, the blonde is not very fond of Fuller, but Darren continues to lie to the blonde to praise Fuller as a quality photographer. The blonde agrees to be photographed by Fuller if Darren can show her some quality Fuller work first.

The conversation with the blonde is then over. Via the postcard, go the square and re-enter the Hospital there.

Hospital:

Continue to the left and then, at the soda machine, go through the doors of Room 1 and Darren will automatically end up in the room where his mother is still yawning. The bedside table now has a vase with flowers and 3 greeting cards. First look at the flowers and the greeting cards.Then pick up the left Greeting card. 

Darren reports that the postman's signature is on the greeting card. 

In inventory, combine the Greeting Card with the Collection Form and .... 

Darren copies the signature of the postman onto the collection form. Go back to the:

Souvenir shop:

Go back inside and talk to Rosie again and ask her about the Photo Paper again. 

Darren automatically gives the collection form to Rosie and now she gives the package with photo paper to Darren. From the earlier conversation with the blonde, you learned that she is in the corner leafing through the fashion magazines. You brought 2 magazines from the Hospital and 1 of those 2 magazines is a fashion magazinead. Take the Magazines from inventory and click it on the blonde and ...

Darren gives the fashion magazine to the blonde and lies again because he tells the dumb blonde that the photos in the magazine were made by Fuller. The blonde is impressed and leaves to call Fuller to arrange a photo session. Leave the store. Outside again you see that the dumb blonde has left. Darren doesn't want to travel via the postcard now, so go one screen to the right via the exit cursor (To the side street) and Darren ends up at:

Fuller's Photo Shop:

We see Fuller come out of his shop and lock the door. Fuller then walks away, to the town square. 

Go through the alley to the backyard and then enter through the back door. So Darren ends up in the hall at the:

Backroom:Crack Fuller's Safe

There is a  refrigerator in the back room. To the right of the refrigerator are kitchen cabinets. The kitchen cabinets contain a coffee machine, a microwave and Fuller's Safe. You can click the refrigerator, the microwave and the Safe. Click the safe.....Darren suspects that Fuller put the film with the negatives of the Angelina photos in the safe. Click again on the safe. Darren now walks to the safe and holds the thing but of course the safe is locked. 

Soon the clock will start running and you will have exactly 1 minute to crack open the safe. 

Take the Stethoscope from inventory and click it on the safe. 

You end up in the close-up of the combination lock of the safe.

The clock starts counting down immediately. You have exactly 1 minute to dial the correct 5 numbers under the arrow on the number dial. You turn the number dial with your left mouse button to the left and with your right mouse button to the right. Using your left mouse button and your right mouse button, you now have to find the correct combination of numbers to open the safe. You have to find the correct combination of 5 digits

Place thecursor on the number dial. You turn the dial to the left with your left mouse button and to the right with your right mouse button. You will hear a click sound every time you dial the right number under the arrow. When you have heard a click sound, turn the dail the other way until you hear a click sound again. In this way you have to dial the correct 5 digits under the arrow.

NB: I don't know if this puzzle is "random" but I don't believe it. So I am giving you here the solution that worked for me to crack the safe. If you are not successful in the time that the clock has gone round 1 time, you have to start over again by clicking on the safe with the Stethoscope again. The correct code I used to open the safe was: 90, 50, 70, 20, 20 and I did it this way, assuming that when you start the 0 on the dial is below the arrow.

Left click until the number 90 is below the arrow. You hear "CLICK".

  Right click until the number 50 is below the arrow. You hear "CLICK".

Left click until the number 70 is below the arrow. You hear "CLICK".

  Right click until the number 20 is below the arrow. You hear "CLICK".

                           Left click again while the number 20 is under the arrow and......

 the safe will now open. 

You automatically go out of the close-up and Darren reports that you succeeded.

When Darren has reported that you have succeeded in cracking the safe Click again on the safe and Darren will now open the safe. You will then get the grab cursor on the open door of the safe, so click on the open door and Darren takes the film from the photo session with Angelina from the safe. 

Darren also reports that there is a gun in the safe, but he does not want to take it. Darren closes and locks the safe again. Go, via the right edge of the screen, to the shopping area and then through the curtain to the dark room

Develop the photos

Darren is here now to develop and print Angelina's photos. First look around again and first click everywhere with your eye cursor to view things first. Darren then always tells something about the things you watch. On the work table, from left to right, are a Developer dish,a  Developing container, the Water dish and the  Enlarger. Right behind the water dish is a bottle of Fixer  and in front of the large cupboard is a bottle of distilled water on the floor. At the beginning of the game you have already taken a bottle of Photo Developer from the basement cupboard and you have the film roll with the photos with Angelina on it. When you have viewed everything you can start developing the film roll.

Take the bottle of Fixer and take the bottle of Distilled Water.

Take the bottle of distilled water from inventory and click it on the water dish and then.........

Take the bottle of distilled water from inventory again and click it on the developer dish.

You now have both in the water bowl and in thedeveloping tank of distilled water.

Take the photo developer bottle from inventory and click it on the developer dish.

In the developer dish you now have a mixture of distilled water and developing fluid.

Take the Photo roll (Film can) from inventory and put the roll in the Developer container. Take the bottle of Photo developer from inventory again and click it on the developer container to put developer in the jar.  Darren then shakes the jar and reports that the film has been developed. Darren puts the jar back down. Take the fixer from inventory and click it on the developer jar to put fixer in the jar.

Darren picks up the jar again and then empty it into the sink and then put the jar back. Darren reports that the fixer is now gone, but he hopes it was enough to fixate the film. Now click on the developing container and ..... Darren takes the fixed negatives out of the container. Darren then reports that he needs photo paper to further develop and enlarge the negatives. Right-click in inventory on the package of photo paper to remove the photo paper from the package. Take the photo paper from inventory and click it on the plate that is under the Enlarger.

Darren puts 1 sheet of photo paper under the enlarger. Take the Negatives from inventory and click them on the Enlarger.

Darren puts the negatives in the enlarger. Now click with your gear cursor on the Enlarger device to turn it on and then count exactly 5 seconds. You can see the seconds on the clock to the left of the device. After 5 seconds, quickly click the Enlarger device again to turn it off.

Darren says it's okay and puts the now exposed sheet of photo paper back in inventory.

Immediately take the exposed sheet of photo paper from inventory and put it in the developer dish.

You enter the close-up of the development box. The exposed photo paper is in the tray and a large peg is placed on the edge of the dish. Be careful now because it is important that you do not take the sheet of paper out of the developing tray too early, but also not too late. Keep looking and when you see that the photo on the paper is clearly visible, quickly click on the large clothespin, op on the photo to take the photo from the dish

If you do this at the right time, Darren will take the photo from the developing dish  and you will have Angelina's Developed Photo.

Immediately take the Developed Photo from inventory and place it in the water bowl and .....

If you've done everything just right, Darren will tell you that the picture is good in terms of brightness and contrast, but that the rest of it sucks.

But it's okay and you now have 1 good photo of Angelina (Print of first photo)

Note: If you did something wrong during the process, for example taking the photo out of the developing tray too early or too late, Darren will reject the photo and you will have to redo the process from the enlarger. The negatives are still in the enlarger, so first put another sheet of photo paper under the enlarger and then repeat the last few steps

However, Fuller took 36 photos of Angelina, so unfortunately.... you have to repeat this process from the enlarger 36 times because 36 photos have to be printed. But before you panic..... once you've done 2 good photos, Darren will automatically print the remaining 34 photos himself. So when you've taken the first good photo you place another sheet of photo paper under the enlarger and then repeat the last few steps to also get a 2nd photo and Darren will develop the rest on its own. 

When Darren is done he hears the shop bell. Darren walks into the store and sees Claire Biba standing outside the door. 

Darren walks out and receives a letter from Claire Biba for Fuller.

Claire bursts into tears and leaves and Darren walks back into the photo shop. 

Darren feels sorry for Claire Biba and wonders what's in the letter he just received from Mrs. Biba.

 Darren wants to steam open the envelope, but that is not possible here in the photo shop. Travel, via postcard or on foot, to Mother's home.

Mother's Home:

Last time we were here we paid attention to the kitchen, but we will do that now. So check out everything in the kitchen that you can watch. 

On the stove is a Emty tea kettle. Under the sink are a few kitchen Cupboards. Check out the stove, kettle, sink and kitchen cupboards. If you click the kitchen cupboards then Darren opens a drawer and from the drawer he takes a Bowl. Take the empty tea kettle and fill the kettle with water from the tap/ sink. Place the filled kettle back on the stove. 

Click on the stove to turn on the stove and thenait for Darren to say the water is boiling. 

Take Claire Biba's envelope from inventory and click it on the steaming kettle and ....

Darren steams open the envelope and finds…1500 dollars inside. Darren thinks it's blackmail money and that Fuller is blackmailing Claire Biba with something. Darren tapes the envelope back up and says he'll put it in Fuller's mailbox.
So travel back to Fuller's Photo Shop. Take Claire Biba's envelope from inventory again and click it on the door of the photo shop and .... 

Darren pushes the envelope through the letterbox door. It's high time to take the photos from Angelina to Angelina. 

Angelina has mentioned that she is staying at the Wild Coast Hotel, so travel, via the postcard,  to the:

Wild Coast Hotel:

The hotel stands on a cliff on the seaside. Go inside and continue to the Porter who is behind the reception desk. 

Talk to the porter about all the topics you get 

The porter also owns the hotel and knows Darren's mother well. Porter rambles on for a while about his wife and children and about his hotel. But eventually this conversation is also over. Place your exit cursor to the left on the stairs (To Angelina's room). Click to go up the stairs to Angelina's room:

Angelina:

Darren gives the photos to Angelina but says they aren't very good. Darren then takes better pictures of Angelina. Meanwhile, Angelina inquires about Darren's mother and asks to speak to Mother. Angelina then wants to have some more sensual photos taken and so the photo session continues on the bed. When Darren's roll of film is full, Darren gets a dinner date with Angelina for tonight as a thank you. Darren leaves and sees the stranger downstairs asking about Angelina at the doorman. Darren stays on the stairs but unfortunately he can't take a picture of the stranger and the guy disappears again

Leave the hotel. Back outside, Darren tells you what needs to be done now. Darren has to develop the roll of film he just shot with Angelina, but that is no longer possible in Fuller's photo shop. So that has to be done somewhere else, but first he has to have the equipment to be able to develop the photo's. Take out the postcard and travel back to Fuller's Photo Shop. 

Darren can no longer enter the photo shop. Next to Fuller's is the green Junk Shop. Enter the Junk Shop now.

Junk shop:

Darren is welcomed  by Eddie, the owner of this junk shop. Eddie is blind and quite grumpy. Don't talk to Eddie right away, but first take a moment to look at everything you can see. Eddie will comment on the items you look at .Look at the large cabinet to the left of the door. On the side of the cabinet hang 2 medals and there are 3 bottles on a shelf.. There are also cabinets behind the counter. On the top shelf of the middle cabinet stand a Projector. Look at that Projector and Darren says it's a slide projector. In the right cabinet is a photo that you can view.

On the counter, on the left, is a transmitter radio with microphone. Look  radio's microphone. A discussion with Eddie follows in which you experience that he has received a high decoration as a soldier. On the floor, near the counter, is an old radio that you can also look at. There is a coin book on the right side of the counter, but you cannot click on it yet. In the foreground you can click 2 old "pipes" and a tin soldier. Those 2 old "pipes" turn out to be real bazookas. On the counter hangs a shelf with some tools. In that shelf are Wire cutters. Look at the wire cutters and then take the wire cutters. Darren pays the requested 2 dollars. When you've looked at everything and bought the wire cutters, talk to Eddie. Ask Eddie anything you can ask.

 Darren and Eddie get into a bit of an argument that ends the conversation prematurely. Then click on Eddie again to continue talking to him about the other topics. During the conversation you also get new conversation topics, such as Mother and a Coin. Use those new topics too. So ask Eddie everything.

Eddie doesn't want to sell the slide projector. The Blindness topic causes Eddie to talk about a gold coin. Because Eddie is blind, he cannot determine the value of the gold coin. Ask Eddie more about the Gold Coin. Darren offers to find out how much the gold coin is worth and Eddie then gives Darren the gold coin. Darren asks if Eddie has a coin book where he can look up the gold coin. Eddie then says that on the counter there is such acoin book. As soon as you have received the gold coin from Eddie, the conversation is over.

On the right side of the counter is the Coin cataloque, so click on it. 

Darren reads in the book that the gold coin is worth 2400 dollars and he puts the coin in the book. Darren then talks to Eddie again to inform him about the coin. Eddie is a bit kinder to Darren and now asks Darren if he can help them. Eddie has lost his cane to the porter of the Wild Coast Hotel during a game of poker. Talk to Eddie again and ask him again if you can borrow the slide projector. Eddie doesn't want to sell the projector, but Darren can borrow the projector if he returns Eddie's cane.  Eddie has told that he lost his baton to the porter of the Wild Coast Hotel during a poker session. 

So go back to the Wild Coast Hotel. Enter the hotel again and talk to the porter again.

 Ask the man everything again and keep asking about Poker until you get Eddie's blindstick back. 

Once you have obtained the Cane, travel back to the Junk shop. Go back inside and give the White cane to Eddie. Eddie asks Darren to put the stick next to the door and Darren does. Talk to Eddie again and ask about the slide projector again and now Darren can borrow the projector, but he has to return it today. Darren can use the projector to light up the photos. Go to Biba's Dinner but don't go in. On the edge, above the windows, hang white, blue and red lights. Darren needs red light to develop photos, Click on 1 of the red lights (String of lights) and ....Darren climbs on the garbage container and then steals 1 of the red lights from the cord.

You must then have 1 red lamp (Safelight bulb) in inventory. Travel back to the

Mother's House:

As always, Darren ends up in the living room again. Go to the bathroom  and .......

 Darren will now develop his own photos of Angelina in the bathroom. You can't see this and it only takes a few seconds. 

When Darren is done he will automatically return to the living room.

In inventory you then have the photos of Angelina and a separate photo of Angelina that Darren wants to keep for himself. Go to the:

Bedroom:

Darren now wants to take a look at his mother's financial affairs, so click on the desk. 

You end up in the close-up of the desk. It is a desk with a flap and the flap has a lock.

The desk lid lock is a sliding puzzle that you must solve to open the desk. Click on the Puzzle lock and then solve the puzzle.

Ok...it's just a simplre sliding puzzle of 12 squares of which 1 square is always the empty square. By moving the squares you have to create the image of the Black Mirror church. If you have chosen to play the game in "easy mode" you can skip the puzzle by clicking the red button at the bottom right. That red button will appear automatically if you haven't solved the puzzle after a minute or 2 of trying.  If you play the game in "Normal Mode" and you have not checked the "Additional Game Help" in the game options, the red button will not appear. However, you can still turn on the "Additional Game Help" in the game options to make that "skip" button appear.

Of course you can also just solve the puzzle yourself, which will undoubtedly give you a much better feeling.

 If you want to solve this sliding puzzle yourself, here is how it will eventually look like.

When the sliding puzzle has been solved, by yourself or with the help of the Red button, the lid opens

In the opened bottom left drawer is a package (Packet). 

Right in the desk is a small wooden box (Casket) and there are a few pencils (Pencils).

Look at the Package, which is in the open drawer. That package turns out to be a pack of cigarettes and Darren is very surprised because he has never seen his mother smoke. When you look at that package again, Darren is relieved to see that it contains playing cards instead of cigarettes. Look at the pencils twice, but Darren doesn't need them. After looking at everything, take the small wooden Casket.

Darren takes the small box and also finds his mother's household book (Bank book) and both disappear to your inventory. Right click in inventory on the small box. Darren says that the box does not open and that it has symbols on it and that it is solid and heavy. Right click on the house keeping book and... Darren finds out that his mother did pay the premium for her insurance. Darren also finds a letter, which he then reads aloud. 

The letter is about money that Darren's mother put on itreceives e times from one C. Click the letter away and .... Darren finds out that mother receives a monthly amount of 1500 dollars from the Willow Creek bank in England. The originator for these monthly payments is that mysterious "C". Darren becomes confused... does his mother have secrets?

Travel to the

Hospital:

Go back to the room where Mother is in a coma. Dr. Newhouse is here again. 

Talk to Newhouse and use all conversation topics again, but especially the Mother topic.

Darren now tells Newhouse that his mother has always told that his father died in a car accident years ago in England. Darren and his mother survived that car accident, but Mother has been left with back pain. Newhouse finds this remarkable because, according to him, the damage to mother's neck and back could never be the result of a car accident, but more of a fall from a great height. Darren is stunned....has mom been lying all these years? And what do those monthly transfers from that unknown "C" mean? Why did mother lie?

The conversation with Newhouse ends by itself. Go back to the reception and talk to the nurse/receptionist again. 

Use the Insurance card topic again and

...Darren shows the receptionist nurse the bank statement of the premium payment. The receptionist will deal with it further.

Evening falls and Darren's day ends with the appointment with Angelina at Biba's Diner.

Darren shows Angelina the box and .... Angelina opens the box. There is a photo in the box and Darren takes the photo out of the box. In the photo, Darren's parents, still young, are standing in front of the gate of a large country house Click the photo away again.Angelina reads on the back of the photo where the photo was taken and when.

 Darren's parents are in that photo in front of the gate of Black Mirror Castle, Willow Creek England and the date is October 1969. According to that date Mother must be heavily pregnant with Darren, but that is not visible in the photo. The photo ends up in inventory as Photo of Willow Creek  The day is over and Darren goes to sleep and has a nightmare, or rather a vision. In his dream Darren sees Fuller and that stranger as well as the Black Mirror castle and hears his mother calling for help.
