Are you stuck on a puzzle in The Room 4: Old Sins? Check out our walkthrough guide to help you figure out a puzzle if the in-game hints aren’t helping you.
We are now in the foyer of The Room 4: Old Sins. It’s an ornate foyer with a circular table in the middle that holds a peculiar puzzle box.
If you look through the eyepiece, you’ll notice some symbols on the table and on the mirror.
If you click on the book on the table, you’ll see a book we assume is titled “Etiquette For Husbands & Wives” open the book by clicking on the little latch on the right side.
When you open the book, you’ll see some text inside. It looks like it’s written from the perspective of the wife:
“They are unloading apparatus by the card load, and I see my husband transform into a wide-eyed child.
He hasn’t been this animated since he left the Royal Institute.
The men work in silence and stand awkwardly in my presence.
Heads down, silent.
They will not hold my gaze. They look so desperate I move aside, stay out of their way.
Why are certain men so threatened by women of intelligence?
They will warm to me as they come to know me, I am sure.
The main thing is that Edward is working again.”
After finishing the passage, right-click to leave the book.
Now, turn your attention to the puzzle box in the middle of the table.
Unscrew the bottom of it to receive a mechanical coin.
Look at the mechanical coin in your inventory. You can open it up.
Now that it’s open turn the camera around to the back of the box and place the coin in it.
The right side of the box opens to reveal a puzzle.
In this puzzle, you turn two different dials. There’s a large dial around the outside of the image, and a small one that rotates it on an axis under the image. Turn them until they match the outline.
Once you finish this puzzle, a secret compartment opens with a crest. What do you do with it? Find out in The Room 4: Old Sins Walkthrough Guide – Part Four.
