![]() ![]() There's the initially bratty kid with her father, an old lady who wears an eye patch, a girl wearing white who doesn't speak, and many others. Kyle soon runs into the staff and residents of the hotel. Bradley's body was never found, but Kyle is sure that Bradley is alive and is searching for him, hoping to understand what happened. Kyle left the force after shooting Brian Bradley, his former partner who betrayed him and joined a criminal syndicate. In it you play as an ex-cop, Kyle Hyde, who arrives in a small hotel in the middle of nowhere - the eponymous Hotel Dusk. I was great.Hotel Dusk: Room 215 ( Wish Room: Angel's Memory in Japan) is an Adventure Game/ Visual Novel for the Nintendo DS released in 2007. I was expecting to play it one hour at a time, but I got sucked in and spend my weekend playing it until its conclusion. The writing is outstanding, at least for a game and the art direction with its rotoscope animations is more beautiful and more emotional than any 3d game out there. You may have read better novels, or played better games, but as a mix of both it's one of the best. And this is the other problem with it all the writing and beautiful drawn facial expressions make you believe the characters are real, and the world is real as well, but after a while you'll get to know that the game/novel only moves forward after some unrelated action triggers another one which makes it feel somewhat artificial.īut do not let these problems keep you away from it. Most of the challenge you get of it, comes from getting to know what to do next, which luckily the game/novel tries to avoid by letting your inner thoughts guide you through. While the puzzles are somewhat enjoyable they are quite simple and not challenging enough. ![]() The only complaint I have is with the actual "game" part. You'll spend your time reading and you'll read a lot, luckily the writing is very good and most of the characters are so well written that you'll get to feel truly sympathy or despise for them. I was expecting an actual adventure game, but this is not the case, the game is sold as an interactive novel and that's what it is. So when, I saw Hotel Dusk:Room 215 at merely over $10.00 I had to buy it. ![]() I've been hunting these kind of games all over, specially for the DS, but they're hard to find. However, I do not have the time anymore to play them as much as I used to, so I started playing adventure games mostly because I don't feel the rush to complete them on one sitting, I can play them at night just before going to sleep, and not feeling all worked up. I used to play games as a kid, and I still love them now. ![]() I've been working on this game whenever I can steal some time, since around mid December, and I still have not finished it yet, and there is much more to come. If you do get kicked out of the hotel you are allowed to retry which is awesome, as you don't have to start over completel y. You are the constant detective in this game. There are times where you find yourself without clues or anyone to talk to.just wandering around the hotel with nothing happening and may seem like you're at a dead end, but rethink everything and think hard, and you'll get back on track. It's a great game searching for items and clues, questioning guests and staff in the hotel to help find specific items while being careful not to tick someone off or get caught snooping and end up getting kicked out of the hotel. After a long hiatus from gaming since the old Atari days, I was looking for a game that a middle-aged adult would enjoy and I certainly found it with this game. ![]()
