DESCRIPTION

Nintendo DS proprietors are invited to check into the Hotel Dusk, an old-fashioned mansion where guests are either unwilling or unable to leave. Former policeman Kyle Hyde travels to 1979 Los Angeles to locate a friend who was last seen in room 215, a room cryptically described as "where wishes are granted." What follows is a graphic adventure that involves hunting for clues and solving an assortment of puzzles to determine the whereabouts of Hyde's friend. The game is played with the handheld positioned like a book, with the left screen depicting 3D views of the environment and the right screen displaying an overhead perspective used to move around. Dialogue sequences and cut-scenes feature stylistic, black-and-white graphics to evoke a noirish atmosphere. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“It was a great story, but I really don't want to play though it a second time to get the "real" ending.”

“My first (and only) DS adventure game. The noir style characters and the black-and-white characters are a plus artistically and the story was actually interesting, or at least not anything I've read before.”
