I think this was one of the first games I played on the DS. I really dug its sideways gimmick! I can't think of too many games that had that setup (besides the extremely great Rhythm Heaven).

The alternate choices are longer than I thought. Even after splitting the updates to 3 parts each of them are still longer than normal updates. The first one should be up tomorrow.

Played this when it came out, I remember everything except Kyle Hyde being kind of mediocre but the game was more than the sum of its parts and I was really into it by the end. Looking forward to experiencing it all over again!

Do you guys think that the way I'm showing the alternate timeline clear enough? Or should I put more context on when the conversation happens? I'm also curious about who reading this thread haven't played this game before.

I'm also curious about who reading this thread haven't played this game before. I wouldn't mind a little more context. It's mostly fine but I had to figure out what you meant by "him" by context and similar things. That one might partly be because I don't remember who the characters are yet, but there were a couple of other minor things I remember I was confused by. And I am blind except for the previous abandoned LP on here. It didn't get very far in though, so I was happy to find you starting another one.

I've beaten this game a few times, so not blind here. I had even considered doing an LP for this game for a while, but never had the time. So, thanks for doing this!

To those of you who already played the game, feel free to tell me if I missed anything in chapter 1. To those of you who read this blind, click the music links. The soundtrack for this game is really good. It really adds to the mood of the game.

Going off this and my vague memories of playing ten years ago, can you really sass Iris/and then talk your way out of the trouble for basically the entire game?

 Music: Easy Feeling  What're you reading? Aw, some skin mag one of the guests left behind.(??? A guest forgot it? ???) I dunno if they forgot it or tossed it or what... But who cares, right? Free is free! So whattaya want, anyway? This is your hiding spot?  So this is where you've been hiding, eh? Hidin'?! How's the cleanin' coming? ...You know Rosa's looking for you, right? What? Cleaning? Is that all? Man, I was all tripped out for nothing! Here I thought Officer Hyde was gonna bust my rear end, and you ask 'bout cleanin'?  Wait a second... You're lying.  You're lying to me, DeNonno.Huh?Rosa told me all about you. Said you're nothing but a slacker.That old bag? Forget her! What gives her the right to hassle guests about me?Talkin' crap 'bout people's like her hobby, ya know? I'm workin', man, straight up! This is an honest gig.Look, Officer... I mean... Hyde. Listen to me for a sec. I'm clean, and I'm workin'. Workin' HARD.I'm like three times more serious than I was in the city. God's honest.Three times? You call this... C'mon, man, stop preachin'!This is it for me, ya know?! I ain't smart or talented... This is the best I can do.Not being a cop anymore's gotta be rough, yeah? We're the same man. It's like ya just gotta take a break and catch your breath before ya snap. That maid Rosa's a loud-mouthed old bag. And Dunning's a penny-pinchin' slave driver.I'm the only bellhop in this whole stinkin' place. No matter how hard I work, stuff just keeps pilin' up.Like a total energy vampire, man.Honestly it's a wonder this place is still running.  What if you get fired?Ha! Yeah, right. Fire me? That's rich.Like I'm gonna get fired from this gig!Ain't nobody want to work AND live here, man. Nobody 'cept me, I guess.Not so long as those stories are out there...(??? Stories? ???) Music: Rainy Night  Read note Whatchya lookin' at?Write note Whatchya writin'?Stuff gets left behind? Lot of things get left behind?Yeah, tons. Some of it's worth pretty good dough, too. Don't worry, man, I don't touch any of it.It all gets kicked up to old man Dunning.Well, it's his joint. Yeah, he keeps all the lost and found stuff in his office.Doesn't trust anyone else, I guess.(Lost and found items are kept in the office, huh? Good to know.)What stories did you mean? Stories? What're you talking about?This place is lousy with 'em, man!...Lousy with what?...Ghosts.Ghosts....Yeah. A long time ago there was an...an "incident," ya know?(??? What was the incident? ???) Soon as it happened, people were talking 'bout ghosts and hauntings and stuff. Folks said they heard some young kid sobbin' during the night. Then when they followed the voice, they found a little girl in a white dress. And if they tried to talk to her? ...She'd VANISH! Poof! Total trip, man.Anyway, that's the story. It's enough to keep people from wantin' to work here.Wow. Louie just told the story that Rosa really tried to keep as a secret. You seen this ghost?'Course not, brother! It's just some crazy story. But I'll tell you something... When I saw that young chick today? She was facing the other way, and it kinda tripped me out for a sec.It's cool, though. No way that girl's a ghost. She... She's like an angel that got lost or... or somethin'...The hell you mumbling about, Louie? What girl?The one right here, man! The mystery girl! Her name's Mila.(??? Mila? ???) When was this incident? When was this incident?...When?I heard it was ten years ago.(??? I wonder what happened? ???) What's Mila like? What kind of girl is Mila? Huh? (Is Louie blushing? He really think he's in love with this girl?)She was in the lobby earlier right? Girl with the long hair?Met her already, eh?She's a looker, right?I guess. Whoa! Nothing changes? Why'd you say nothing changes?I'm talkin' bout YOU, man! You're like some dinosaur stuck in a tar pit. I know your history, Officer Hyde. You only fall for chicks with...ya know...Issues....How's that?Sure! Detective Kyle Hyde of the fightin' 89th and his whacked-out lady lover... All us street rats knew the story, man. It was famous.Really?...Yeah. Guess I shoulda kept my head hole shut, huh?Probably.Talk about the incident. Tell me about the incident....Hmm. This stuff still interest you? Even ya ain't a cop anymore?Guess so.Crimes and criminals still get my blood going. You don't just walk away. No one does.Ha! Still the same ol'Officer Hyde!Ya know, you look real weird without a badge and a gun, man. You always seemed like a "cop for life" kind of cat, ya dig?Yeah.So about this incident. What happened?I heard about it from this gabby guy over at the newspaper stand. Seems a man and his daughter stopped here for a night, yeah? Then, in the middle of the night, the girl disappeared.(??? She disappeared? ???) A girl disappeared? She disappeared?Yeah. Kid was only ten years old, too. Father looked all over for her, but the sun came up and she was still gone.Later on, the cops got a mysterious letter...It told 'em where they could find the girl's body.(??? Did they find the body? ???) Did they find the body? Did they find the girl's body?No, that's the crazy part. Guy told me they didn't find squat. No kid, no crook, no nothin'. Thing's still unsolved....That so?Yep. And after that, the stories started. The murdered chick's ghost appears at night and...acts scary or whatever. Now we're getting somewhere. Dusk went bankrupt? Place went under, huh?Yeah. Bottoms up. Place was deserted till Dunning rolled in 'bout five years ago. He picked the place up for nothin' and bam! Hotel Dusk is open for business.Anyways, that's all I know. Dunning and Rosa don't like to talk about it.Yeah. We saw what happened when we tried to ask Rosa. Music: Easy Feeling Yo, Officer Hyde!Lemme ask ya somethin'!What?So you quit the beat and left the city, yeah? You come all the way out here to avoid cats from your past?That's part of it. But I was born out here, too. My mom and I only moved to New York after my old man passed. Figured I could use my old contacts to get back on my feet.Yeah, I dig. And, well...Well, what? Don't leave me hangin', man!I'm looking for someone.Lookin' for someone? Get outta here! You ain't a cop no more!Not like that. It's just a guy I used to work with who went missing.A guy you worked with? What, like a cop?Yeah, my ex-partner, Bradley. Don't think you ever had the pleasure.Bradley, huh?Yeah.Why's he missing?He got shot at the docks three years ago and took a dive in the Hudson.Three years ago?Something wrong? I could make the DeNonno pun again, but instead I'm going to say that for some reason I always think of him saying that with Tommy Wiseau's "accent". But ya know... If the cat's been outta sight for three years... Well, kinda safe to assume he's dead. Ain't it?No. He's alive.Hey, I know you guys were tight and all, so you want him to be alive... But you gotta let go. Dead is dead, right? (Want's got nothing to do with it. He's alive. I know it.)But lemme tell ya...Having a compadre wink out or skip town's a total drag, ain't it? Wait, Louie. We're the same? We're the same? What are you talking about?Um...Spill it. ...NOW!We're the same, man. I had me a buddy died three years back.That's all.Hey, I gotta split. You'd better get outta here, too. I told ya, man. this place ain't for guests, ya dig?I dig.Louie finishes talking and hurries out the door. Wow, that's a long talk. We'll investigate this room next time. 1234567890num fucked around with this message at 14:46 on Dec 4, 2017 |

Music: Monochrome (Map) Music: Rainy Night (Examination)  We can investigate this room now that Louie's gone.   Mop There's a mop leaning against the wall. Locker There's a locker on the wall. It's unlocked.  Bottles Bottles of floor cleaner are next to the toolbox. Mops There are some mops in the bottom of the locker. Cloth Looks like a dust rag to me. Toolbox There's a toolbox on a shelf in the locker.  Zoomed-in toolbox It's a toolbox. Crowbar What's that? A crowbar?  (Never know when you might need one of these.)Screwdriver Lucky me. It's a screwdriver.  (I bet I'll be happy I found this before all's said and done.)Pliers There's a pair of pliers in here.  (This should come in here somewhere.)   Cart It's a linen cart. Empty as can be. Louie must be slacking again. Trash can It's a plastic garbage can. Iron That iron looks heavy. Table There's an old, worn ironing board next to the wall. Spray bottle That's a spray bottle.    Top-left cloth These look like towels for the guest rooms. Other clothes These must be sheets for the guest rooms.    Left bottle There's a bottle of cleanser on the shelf. Right bottle It's a bottle of bleach. Keep out of reach of children. Top-left cloths These look like towels for the guest rooms. Other clothes These must be sheets for the guest rooms. Bottom-middle 'cloth' Whoa, that's not a sheet. It's a nudie mag.  Magazine I've seen that dame on the cover before. Says her name's Cecily Lee... I'm impressed Kyle knows that.  (The actress Cecily Lee is the cover girl for this issue.)(December issue of a mag with Cecily Lee on the cover... This must be the magazine on Ed's list.)That's all we can do in this room. When we get out... Guess I'll go check out the office. Moving a few steps...  A door near the stairs opens and someone peeks out.  Music: Slow Steps  Yoo-hoo? Pardon me, young man!What? Me?Yes, that's right! I was wondering if you could be a dear and help me? Do you know what time the restaurant opens?(It's that old lady from downstairs.)Yeah. Six o'clock. So it's still closed. You might want to stay in your room.Don't want you to climb stairs if you don't have to. ...Is that so? Oh! Thank you so much for your kindness, young man. My name is Helen Parker. Forgive me for asking, but what is your name?Kyle Hyde.And what room are you staying in, Mr. Hyde?215.Ah! So you're the rascal who's staying in Wish!Wish?That's right. It's such a nice name for a room, don't you think?I'm in Room 212. It's called Angel.(I guess old ladies like the names. Least that's something...)Sure. It's a good name, I guess.It is at that, isn't it?! Well, Kyle Hyde, thank you for taking the time to speak with this old woman.Please excuse me, dear.The old woman with the eye patch turns and shuffles back to her room. (??? Why's she staying here? ???) We can now knock the door and ask the question.   Knock  Kyle Hyde. From Room 215. Wish? Yes, yes, I remember now. What can I do for you?Music: Rainy Night  Read note May I ask what it is you're reading?Write note May I ask what it is you're writing?Show room 215 key Oh, how I wanted your room, you rascal! But they put me in 212. It's called Angel!Show hotel brochure Your brochure doesn't do this beautiful hotel justice!Show men's magazine Well, I never! Mr. Hyde! Put that smut away this instant!Show others  No thank you, young man. I don't need that.Smut(noun): 1. a small flake of soot or other dirt or a mark left by one. 2. a fungal disease of cereals in which parts of the ear change to black powder. 3. obscene or lascivious talk, writing or pictures. This game is educational! Why stay here? I'm curious why you're staying in a dump like this.Oh, I see. Well, if you must know, I've some dear memories of this hotel.(??? Dear memories? ???) What kind of memories? What kind of memories?Eh heh heh! That's a secret, young man! The best memories are the ones you keep locked up in your private heart. That's what makes them special.They're not the sort of things you share easily.Music: Slow Steps So polite! Are you sure there's nothing else?No, I'm afraid not....I see. Well, please excuse me then.Helen closes her door. Music: So Noted       The map has been updated. The two rightmost rooms were blacked out before. Music: Monochrome As Kyle said, we should check out the office.   Knock Music: Hangover Blues  Yeah. Ya come to pay yer bill? (...drat. My money's still in my suitcase.)Oh yeah. Cash in advance. Can't be too careful and all that, right? I'd 'preciate it if ya settle up soon as ya can.Dunning says nothing more and shuts the door. Oh... Right... We still haven't opened the suitcase. If I remember correctly... Thesaya posted:Well, the hanger for sure but I haven't seen any wirecutters lying around. We can try this now. Music: Straight Chaser  We do have something to cut the hanger now. Use pliers on hanger  We got into a minigame. We have to pick the spot we want to use the pliers on. Once we picked a spot the pliers will cut it.  Like this.  You can faintly see the spots where it's been cut. Ignore the fact that the cut part is different from the pliers shot from the previous picture. If we didn't cut the hanger correctly, it won't lead to game over, instead this happens Nope, that isn't the way I need to cut it.And we can try again. So, it's time for AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION. How should we cut this hanger?

Honestly, none of the minigames aren't THAT hard. Most of the difficulty comes from figuring out how to get the minigame and what you actually have to do to complete it.ultrabindu posted:make it into a little wire stickman That would've been really great, but unfortunately, we can't do that. We can only cut in 2 places, and the shape of the wire can't be tampered further. There's actually a hint somewhere in the previous updates about the shape needed.

I was going to include a smiley to show I wasn't too serious but I don't remember what the codes are on here and was too lazy to look it up. So yeah. Laziness sums it up pretty well.

There's actually a hint about the shape we need.  Remember that we got this from straightening out the paperclip. We need the wire to be straight. Or you can just randomly pick 2 spots. That's what I did when I played this the first time.    If you can't tell from the pictures, we have to cut it in the right and left part of the horizontal line in the bottom. The difficulty of the minigames is mostly in figuring out what to do in them (and how to trigger them in the first place.) Music: Straight Chaser I cut it to the right length. (Let's see if I can get the suitcase unlocked with this.)Yeah. Let's.  Use thick wire on suitcase.  The first part goes exactly like the key and the thin wire.   Again, we need to push all the 'locks' inside. However, this is much easier than last time.   Finally! (Here we go... That got the lock open.) We can examine the top and the bottom part separately. Let's start with the top.  We can move the items around.  Notably the receipts and the photograph were hidden before we moved the newspaper and map. Map It's a map of L.A. Brochure It's one of Red Crown's brochures. Newspaper That's yesterday's paper. Receipts This is a stack of receipts. Gotta turn these in to Ed and get paid... Photograph That's a photograph. If you look closely you can see that it's a photo of 2 people. I think it may be Kyle and Bradley. Let's move on to the bottom part.  Nothing is hidden this time. Socks Those are my socks. Gotta wash 'em... Bottle It's a bottle of whiskey. The good stuff, too. Cash  Pencil That's a pencil. I don't need this right now. Razor It's an electric razor. I hair up fast, so this is nice. Tie This is a necktie. Got it on sale. Shirt It's a clean shirt. My only one, actually. If we try to go out... (Oh, and I better not forget what Rachel told me.)Do you guys remember what Rachel said? One of the 'difficulties' in this game is that it's very easy to forget things that the game won't remind you about, such as this. This game doesn't have a to-do list. In this case, Rachel told us to put the client list in the suitcase. Use client list on the suitcase. (I hid the client list in my suitcase.)Music: Monochrome With that done, let's pay up Dunning. Knock Music: Hangover Blues Yeah.Ya come to pay yer bill?Yeah.How much?Forty clams. Here. Forty on the nose.Oh, and I heard all about yer hassle! ...Hey. You should be sorry! Hassle ain't the word for it, pal. You need to get a handle on things. Figure out some way to get things from here to my room without losing 'em, all right? Hey now! Said I was sorry! No need to jump down m'throat! That drat Louis is just one screwup after another. Next time he does somethin' like that, he's gone!But right now I'm busier'n a one-legged man in an rear end-kickin' contest.So firin' him will hafta wait for a bit.Too bad.Lemme make it up to ya... Dinner's on the house tonight! And just listen to what the Moonlight Grill's got on the menu... Rib eye steak with fresh garlic butter! And that's a class steak, too! Rosa may run her mouth, but she's a helluva cook! I'll even have her throw in dessert for ya.Oh, and by the way...I'm gonna close up the office and head back to my own room for a spell. Ya need anything, it'll have t'wait till later.Dunning finishes, then turns and walks down the hall. We didn't even get to ask anything about the box. It's probably in the office, but surely Dunning isn't dumb enough to leave it unlocked, right? Knob (Guess I should nose around the office while Dunning's out.) (Might as well check the guest register, too. See if I can find any info on the other me who stayed here.)...You've got to be kidding me. Is locking the door just too  for Dunning?Let's just check the office. Starting with the door to the front desk and the door to the mystery room in the map. Music: Monochrome (Map) Music: Rainy Night (Examination)  Knock All this knocking is making me a little crazy. Knob Door won't budge. ...Stupid door.  Knock I keep knocking on these doors, but nobody answers. Maybe it's my breath.    The numbers of the cabinet are barely visible. Cabinet 3 This looks like Cabinet 3.  Zoomed-in cabinet 3 Yeah, this is Cabinet 3 all right. Lock There's a combination lock on the cabinet. Cabinet 9 This cabinet looks like it weighs a ton. Other cabinets The cabinet drawer won't open. Paper There's something stuck under the corner of the cabinet.  Zoomed-in cabinet 9 This cabinet must weigh a ton. Zoomed-in paper There's some kind of memo stuck under the cabinet.  What's this?  Crap! The thing ripped! There's a bunch of dots and numbers on the memo. (What in the...?) Um...  It looks like a 'V'! We'll get to this later. ...   Right frame There's some sort of certificate in the frame. Board There are a bunch of receipts and memos on the corkboard. Right book There's a book on the desk. It's about hockey. Card There's a card on the desk. Left book There's a notebook and a card on the desk.  Zoomed-in book The cover of the notebook says Supervisory Log.  December 26 Tidied up the cabinets. Put things left by guests into Drawer "3." Put guest registration cards into Drawer "A."Zoomed-in card There's a card on the desk. It's a birthday card.There's a message written on the card. "Happy Birthday to my dearest Jenny!" (??? Wonder who Jenny is... ???)<-- White Question Penholder There's only one pen in the penholder. Paper Look at this... The sports page. What a surprise. Newspaper There's a newspaper on the desk. Table Dunning's desk is against the wall. Calendar/Phone There's a calendar on the left side of the desk.  Zoomed-in phone There's a phone on the desk. I should make some free long-distance calls. Zoomed-in calendar  It's circled...(??? What's special about 12/5? ???)<-- White Question Small board Nothing on the board has any real importance to what I'm after. Left frame The wall's decorated with contracts. Doesn't really do much for me. Key hanger Dunning's got all the room keys hanging on the wall.  Keys Dunning's got all the room keys hanging on the wall.  Wow, that's a lot. If your eyes just glazed over them, we got two white questions: (??? Wonder who Jenny is... ???) (??? What's special about 12/5? ???) Moving on.    Right frame There's a shot of a brick-lined streets tacked on the wall. Left frame Dunning's got a framed diploma or something on the wall. Sofa Nice sofa. I spent a month sleeping on one of these once... Newspaper There's a newspaper on the table. Looks like today's. Table There are some papers on the table.    TV Another TV? Dunning must be a real couch potato. Files Nothing unusual here. Just some files and books. Cabinet A The drawer is unlocked.  Books Looks like a tourist brochure and a map. Folders The file case in the drawer is full of registration cards. Might not be a bad idea to take a peek at these cards. Everything except the name about this is different with ours, even the handwriting. The name Kyle Hyde is written on one of the registration cards. Stayed in Room 217 on June 30th, 1979.(Dunning wasn't screwing with me after all. There really was a guest with my name.)Other cabinets The cabinet drawer is locked. Now all that's left is to get the rest of the memo. We have just the right tool for the job.  Use crowbar on cabinet  If you forgot to grab the crowbar you can actually go back and grab it. It's not like Dunning cares about us using the properties of his hotel to get inside his private office and steal his memo. Anyway, what to do here is obvious. There's even a helpful white circle.  This is... There's a bunch of dots and numbers on the memo. (Well, this is useless...)(What's this supposed to mean?)  Really, Dunning? You make the 'puzzle' like that? Even Melissa could've solved it! Maybe if I connect the dots...Yes, we get it Kyle! Anyway, if I remember correctly this code is randomized every playthrough. You can't even try to open the cabinet until you get the full memo. Lock There's a combination lock on the cabinet.   That's it!Cabinet 3 The cabinet's open.  Box There's a small red box in one of the cabinet drawers.  (This must be the box that was on the order sheet.)(Nice. That's everything I was supposed to find.)That was quick. We found both items already  . Now let's get out of here.     Busted. We'll talk to him next time. 1234567890num fucked around with this message at 15:27 on Mar 14, 2018 |

Music: Easy Feeling What do you want?Did you just pop outta the office, man?What were ya doin' in there? You know...work. Business.Business? What're ya talkin' about?What're you worried about? No, seriously, man. What were you doin' in the office? You and ol' man Dunning... You weren't... Ya know... You weren't talkin' about me, were you?About you?Yeah, man. You know, chattin' 'bout my history in the city... You weren't filling Dunning's head with a buncha garbage 'bout ol' Louis, were ya? Nah, it wasn't about you. Relax, Louie. We weren't talking about you.In fact, we weren't talking to Dunning at all! Whew! Thank goodness for that, my man!I was gonna have a total freak-out! Officer Hyde?Yeah?You told me you quit the force and started sellin' junk, right? Were you serious? I guess I can trust him... ...Yeah. I'm serious.Really? Officer Hyde? Gotta tell you, my man, you don't act like any salesman I ever seen....So why'd you quit being the Man in the first place?I know you said you were canned, but...What'd ya do to lose your badge?Well...Music: Midnight     Hey, what gives?Music: Rainy Night I screwed up a case.Oh, trip, man!It was three years back. My partner and I were working a case.We were investigating a series of art thefts....Art thefts? You talking 'bout that crime ring?Ever heard of Nile? Hold it. Knew about that, huh? That something you knew about?Is the pope Catholic? Yeah, I knew.So you were undercover?No. I was in the office, pushing paper and drinking bad coffee.Wait... So it was that other detective what was runnin' with Nile?Yeah. Oh, wow, man. Trip...What're you mumbling about now, Louie?I never thought meeting up with you again would clear up that... Wait a second. What makes sense now? You just have a revelation there, Louie?It's...it's nothing, man.Spill it....Got nothin' to say, man!LOUIIIIIIS! LOUIS DENONNO!  Music: Hangover Blues  ...Aw, man, she found me. Rosa is FURIOUS.  You haven't finished setting the tables, you lazy bum! It's almost time to open!I...I was just on my way!Don't trip out! You're gonna pull something.You're so worried about me? Get your behind in gear and finish the job!Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right! All right! Just shut up already!Move it! And don't you tell me to shut up!OK. I'm going! Man...Louie leaves.  Rosa's still hanging around here. Let's see what she has to say. I honestly don't know why they decided to separate the conversation. ...Hasn't changed a bit....Eh? Hasn't changed?Yeah. ...Hey. What's wrong? Something eating you?Huh? What? Me? No! No, just... thinking about you and Louis is all.C'mon. What're you thinking about?Say, you wouldn't happen to...Happen to what?Happen to know Louis from somewhere else? You do! Don't you? Louie did ask us to keep his past a secret... Nope! Never met him!  Nope.Don't try and fool Rosa, mister. You can't do it! I know things! I heard you and Louis talking, you know?Oh......but yeah. They're terrible at hiding it.  I'm right, aren't I? Don't start lying to me now!I couldn't hear WHAT you were talking about, but... I did hear Louis call you "Officer Hyde." What's that, huh? Officer? There's no mistaking that, and for a fact!That so?Well, I guess the gig's up, isn't it?Yeah, Louie and I know each other. What now? It's nothing. Really! I just thought if you and Louis knew each other...I thought I could ask you something.Go ahead.Well, see... Oh, this is so awkward... Well, I really want to ask about...Louis's past.His past? That's right! His past! You know, what he was like before?You knew him, right?So you could tell me what he did before he started working here. C'mon, talk to me!Why Lisa why Lisa please talk to me please. ...Sorry. For some reason that line just came into my head.  Don't tell her anything. His past? Why? Well, it's obvious, isn't it?!He's hiding something, I just know it!Hiding something? What do you mean?It's been almost three years since Louis started working here. And in all that time, he's never once talked about his past. Not ONCE.He's hiding something. I can smell it! Always can!Oh yeah? So what's he hiding?Something terrible! I'd stake my mop on it!Define "terrible."You know! A criminal record, or an ex-wife, or running from the law or something. Got a second? You're crazy, Rosa!   Glad to see  Kyle also exist in the original timeline. Wha-?!What are you laughing at? This is serious! Sorry! Sorry... It's just... I can't believe you just said that. And why not?You're wrong. In fact, you're so wrong it's funny.Oh, I'm wrong, am I?Yeah. I know, first time for everything, right?Listen, you're right about one thing, I did know Louie.But let me tell you about our pal Louie...Guy worked in a back alley jewelry shop in the East Village.Tiny store, sold nothing but crap. Nobody ever shopped there. He worked in a jewelry shop?Yeah. Look, there's no way Louie was ever a criminal. He's a professional slacker. He doesn't have the stones to be a crook.Truly? That's his story? Well, I'll be... Music: Rainy Night  Read note What're you looking at?Write note What're you writing?Show crowbar Don't go breaking any of our windows with that thing, now!Show men's magazine Mr. Hyde! You have no cause to show me that, and for a fact!Show cash Looks like both of us could use more money, am I right?We'll ask these questions next time!

Music: Rainy Night Who's Jenny? Who's Jenny?Jenny? I don't know anyone named Jenny.What's with Dec. 5th? the date December 5th mean anything to you?December 5th?Hmmm... Lemme think on that for a sec... December 5th... Well, my birthday's June 30th! And I'm pretty sure Dunning's is October 8th...Sorry! Doesn't ring a bell....That so?Music: Hangover Blues Well, I've got to get a move on. Dinner won't wait, you know! Busy, busy, busy...Rosa finishes talking and scurries away. Insert beeping sound here.  Music: Monochrome So now we have to go back to our room and pick up the phone. Music: Straight Chaser  Phone Guess I should give Rachel a call.   It's me. You paged. Hey, sweetie! That was fast.What are you saying? I always call back right away.I think we have a different idea of what that phrase means. Maybe, but mine's right. So what do you need?Let me put Ed on. Hyde! Tell me something, will you? There a kid named Louis DeNonno working there at the Hotel Dusk? DeNonno? Yeah, he's the bellhop. I knew him from back in the day. Said he left the city and drifted out here 'bout three years ago.You know the kid, huh? What's his story?Just a punk who used to ride the subways picking pockets. Can't tell you how many times I busted his rear end. Why? What's going on?I just got back from meeting a buddy of mine. He's LAPD. Guy heads up their Nile task force, and he said-Wait, hold it. You've got friends on the Nile case?I could use the  smilie again, but I won't.Yeah, I know some guys working on it. Don't get your panties in a bunch. Anyway, we're having a drink, shooting the breeze, and he mentions Hotel Dusk. Then he tells me about some scuzz named Louis DeNonno who's working there. Seems Nile's been looking for this mope.Mope (noun): 1. a person given to prolonged spells of low spirits. I don't think Louie fit that description, at least not anymore. That doesn't make sense. Louie's small time. Nile wouldn't care if he lives or dies.Well, three years ago a stiff turned up near a warehouse in Manhattan. Some kid named Danny was up to his eyeballs with Nile, and he got himself offed. NYPD wrote it off as gangs or Mafia or the like. Hell, you know the drill: no witnesses, no leads, nobody ever brought in.What's this got to do with Louie?I'm getting there, Hyde! Relax, will ya?! You sound like my ex sometimes... Anyway, seems your boy DeNonno's right in the middle'a all this. The night Danny got aired out, he was the bagman for a buncha payoff scratch. 'Course, when Danny boy buys it, the bribe money vanishes. Word on the street is Danny was buddy-buddy with your pal, Louie. And here's where it gets good; after Danny cashes out, Louie vanishes. POOF! So now Nile wants their money bak, and this kid's the only lead. They been looking all over hell and breakfast, and now we think they found him.They must really be on the hunt if they tracked him to this dive. So if they know where Louie is, why's he still breathing?They think he's a patsy. Think there's somebody else calling the shots, pulling the strings, ya know?Nile... Never thought I'd hear that name in this place.Total coincidence.I don't know... You think so?Don't think so. Know so. Oh, and I got another tidbit for ya. The Nile money that Danny was carrying when he got smoked? They got the cash by fencing stolen art.  Could be. Yeah, he may have some dirt on Bradley we never heard. Tell me something, Hyde. You find the stuff on the order sheet?Taken care of. Don't worry about it.Good. Business before vengeance, ya know? Har har har! Anyway, I'll be in touch. (Louie's friend was involved with Nile? I think Louie and I need to have a little chat.)(??? Where is Louie? ???)<--White Question  Music: Monochrome Now we have to look for Louie. The rooms are locked and there's no one in the linens and utility closet. As we descend down the stairs...    Hey, it's you! Music: Hangover Blues  Got a sec?Whatcha need?Music: Rainy Night  As always, we'll ask the questions from the top. No, I didn't forget anything. Why did you ask? Who's Jenny? Who's Jenny?...Jenny?Where'd ya hear that name?!Little bird told me.Why the hell ya asking me about Jenny?! Ya ain't been pokin' around my office, have ya?Music: Drunken Waltz  Someone ransacked my office! Was it you?Nope. I was too busy stealing towels from my bathroom.Don't get smart with me, pal! I know ya was in my office!I knew there was somethin' wrong about ya! You ain't welcome here!Pack up and get the hell out! Huh?Music: Dream's End (That's not what I intended. He wasn't supposed to react this way...)  ...drat. GAME OVER SCOREBOARD Louie: 2 Melissa: 1 Iris: 1 Martin: 1 Dunning: 1 Everyone Else: 0 Who knew asking Dunning the questions from his office will make him think we were in his office! Especially since he didn't lock it! The reason I showed this here instead of the alternate timeline is because this is one of the spots people got a game over in. Asking questions from the top has been the norm for most players that they did that on reflex. ...No, I did not do that my first playthrough. We still have two more questions. Music: Rainy Night What's with Dec. 5th? You know anything special about December 5th?...December 5th?Fifth day'a the twelfth month. What of it?Nothing, I guess...What's goin' on, Hyde? Why the hell ya askin' me about that?Ya ain't been pokin' around my office, have ya?Then it goes to the 'Drunken Waltz' link until the game over. We can pick retry to get us back to the point before we talked to Dunning but screw that, we're using savestate. Read note So, what're ya reading?Write note So, what're ya writing?Show men's magazine That ain't mine.Show cash That all the cash ya have? Good thing I keep prices reasonable 'round here.Show crowbar, screwdriver, pliers, memo, or small red box No, I'm not going to do that. Remember WHERE we got those items. For some reason Rosa is fine with them, though. Where's Louie? Where's Louie?DeNonno? No idea. And speakin' a'him, Rosa let me in on yer secret. Told me you and DeNonno are old friends.In a way.Look, there's something I need to talk to him about.That so? He SHOULD be helpin' t'get the restaurant ready. So he's either in the kitchen or loafin' in his room. I'd put a sawbuck on which...That's quite an employee you have there.Damned if I don't know it!If he ain't in the kitchen, I'm sure you'll find him in his room. I'd go grab him by the scruff'a the neck m'self, but I'm a bit tied up. Go see what ya can find, will ya?Music: Hangover Blues We done here? Good. I'll see ya around.Dunning finishes talking or mumbling or whatever he does and walks away. Music: Monochrome  Knob Another annoying part of this game: forcing the players to examine the door and the knob to get to the other side. Thankfully going back only requires tapping the door icon.  We'll find out what lies in this hallway and where Louie is next time! 1234567890num fucked around with this message at 12:41 on Jan 3, 2018 |

As much as that tripped me up the first time, I really enjoy that showing stuff you're not suppose to have on you to Dunning gets you a game over. it's a nice bit of realism in the game.

Music: Monochrome (Map) Music: Straight Chaser (Examination) Let's explore this hallway.  We can knock this door, but let's explore everywhere else first. If you don't care about exploring just scroll until you see Louie's face. There's 2 doors on the left and 3 doors on the right.  Knock I bet everyone here made an agreement not to answer the door. Knob The bottom left door leads to the pantry.    I'll number the top left cabinet '1' and continuing to the right. Yes, all of them have their own description. Boxes on top There are more cardboard boxes on the shelves. Cabinet 1 Canned fish? Guess that's all they can afford. Cabinet 2 A can of thyme. Now that's just silly. No one needs that much thyme. Cabinet 3 There are boxes full of supplies here. Not very interesting, actually... Cabinet 4 Boxes filled with canned foods. ...Reminds me of my place. Cabinet 5 Boxes of foodstuffs? Guess this is where they belong. Cabinet 6 Cans of whole tomatoes? If I shook 'em up, could I make ketchup? Boxes in front of cabinet 7 & 10 There are some big, big cardboard boxes stacked here. Cabinet 8 I should raid this place later tonight. I could eat for a year. Cabinet 9 I see canned vegetables. Never was much into those. Cabinet 11 Hey, some dusty boxes. Detective work is so exciting. Cabinet 12 Some big cans of food. For the man with a hearty appetite. Bags on right Looks like some bags of grain. Never can have enough fiber, huh? Boxes on right It's a bunch of dirth cardboard boxes. I bet they belong to Louie. There's still more things to examine in this room.    Stuffs on left That's a big pile of all kinds of stuff. Or so my detective senses tell me. Cabinet 1 Looks like a small bag of food. I can't identify it. Cabinet 2 I see two blue cans. ...That's a nice color for a can. Cabinet 3 It's a blue can. Maybe it's full of blueberries. Cabinet 4 Looks like canned fish. A tuna sandwich sounds pretty good right now. Cabinet 5 Cardboard boxes full of canned goods are sitting here. Cabinet 6 It's a small bag of some kind of food. Cabinet 8 Boxes of beer... I'll have to remember where these are. Cabinet 9 There are two small bags of food stacked here. Cabinet 12 A box full of beer... Lucky box. Boxes in front of cabinet 7, 10, & 11 There are some white cardboard boxes stacked on top of each other. The boxes in front of cabinet 11 aren't white!  See the door up there? It's locked and it doesn't have anything interesting comment.    Left freezer It's a commercial-sized refrigerator. Bet you could hide a body in there... Right freezer It's a commercial-sized refrigerator full of meat and vegetables. We go down through the path slightly visible on the second pantry picture.  We'll talk to Rosa later.    Freezer That's a big refrigerator. ...Wonder if they got any bodies in there.    Fryer They've even got a deep fryer. I'll have to get some onion rings later. Stove Guess you need a big range to cook for a restaurant. Ovens Those are a couple of huge microwave ovens. Bottle There's a wine bottle next to the microwaves. Upper box This is where they keep their supplies. Lower box It's jam-packed with all kind of foodstuffs.    Table Kitchen's clean. That's a load off my mind... Shelf It's a shelf for spices. Left can It's some kind of seasoning. Don't ask me... I can't cook worth a drat. Middle can It's a can of sauce. I bet it tastes like sawdust. Right can It's a can of ketchup. ...Who puts ketchup in a can, anyway? Case There's a case full of forks and knives. Bottle There's a bottle of wine on the counter. Left plate It's an empty dish. Right plate There are a bunch of dishes on the counter. Looks like Louie's running behind.    Get ready for plenty of flavor text. Boxes left of cabinet It's a bunch of cardboard boxes stacked neatly in a corner of the room. Cabinet 1 There's a box of foodstuffs on the shelf. Cabinet 2 I see lots of canned food. Guess we're ready if the Soviets drop the big one. Cabinet 3 Looks like a bunch of canned food. Cabinet 4 Canned vegetables? I was hoping for fresh picked. Cabinet 5 Looks like lots of canned foods. Cabinet 6 There's some canned fish here. I haven't had that in forever. Cabinet 7 Cans of whole tomatoes. How appetizing... Cabinet 8 More canned foods. Hope I don't have to eat all of this. Cabinet 9 That's a big can. Must have a whole side of beef stuffed in there. Cabinet 10 Boxes of canned foods. Wonder if Louie has to lug these around. Cabinet 11 More boxes of foodstuffs. Guess I should have expected that. Boxes right of cabinet There are more boxes in the corner of the room. Boxes in front of cabinet There are some cardboard boxes stacked here. Bags in front of cabinet It's a small bag of flour.  Flour The bag's torn, and some flour spilled out. Bag near wall It's a large cloth sack. Wow, that's fascinating. Boxes in front of fridge It's a bunch of cardboard boxes tossed into the corner. Boxes left of fridge There are some white cardboard boxes stacked here. Fridge There's a big refrigerator in the corner of the room. That's all to examine in the pantry and kitchen. Let's finally talk to Rosa.  Music: Hangover Blues Got a minute?What do you think you're doing? Stop! You can't come in here! This is the kitchen! It's off-limits to guests! That means you!Music: Rainy Night  Read note What're you looking at?Write note What're you writing?Where's Louie? Where's Louie?You mean Louis? HA! He's not here! Lazy slacker!Probably in his room wasting time or hiding under the bed or something.Where's his room?Go out of here and take a left. Can't miss it. Smells like cheese.Music: Hangover Blues Are you done? You're done, right? Please go. My kitchen's a busy place, and I'm a busy lady. Always working, working, working...And if we try to leave through the bottom... Where do you think you're going? Stay out! Out! I mean it! The restaurant's not ready yet!Music: Monochrome (Map) Music: Straight Chaser (Examination) Now let's check the other rooms from the left hallway.  Knock All I'm doing is bruising my knuckles. Knob The bottom right door leads to the laundry.    Bottle I'm no scientist, but I think that's a bottle of bleach. Shelf There's a shelf above the vending machine. Left machine Now that's a big washing machine. Guess hotels do a lot of laundry. Right machine The washing machine's empty. Drawer There's a wooden cabinet next to the washing machine. Cart The linen cart's full of dirty sheets and whatnot.    Trash can Garbage can's empty. At least Louie did something. Table There's nothing on the ironing board. Iron Looks like a heavy iron. Rosa's arm must be huge. Drawer It's a wooden cabinet. Rack It's a hanger rack. Hanger It's a hanger.    The 4 machines and bottles will be numbered from left to right. 1st machine It's a big washing machine. Maybe I'll clean my socks later. 2nd machine Nothing inside the washing machine. 3rd machine It's an industrial washing machine. 4th machine There are some sheets in the washer. Hope they're mine. 1st bottle There's not a lot of detergent in here. 2nd bottle I bet this is bleach or some kind of stain remover. 3rd bottle It looks like a cleanser of some sort. 4th bottle It's a jar of cleanser. It looks homemade. That's a scary thought.  Knock Nobody's responding to my repeated pounding on this door. Knob The middle right door leads to the electrical room.    Locker There's a locker in the corner of the room.    Right switchboard There's a cover on the switchboard. Left switchboard This switchboard is covered in dials and knobs and crap.    Right switchboard This switchboard is covered in dials and knobs and crap. Switchboard cover It's a switchboard cover. Left switchboard The cover of the switchboard has been taken off. Knock Knocking is proving to be an exercise in futility. Knob The top right door leads to the boiler room.    Barrels It's some kind of storage tank, and it's creeping me out. Box It's a wooden box. Yippee.    Boiler It's a small boiler. This must be why there's no hot water in this place. Wheel It's equipped with a big handle.    Boiler It's a boiler. Wheel It's equipped with a big handle. That's every other room we can examine. Let's take a look at the new descriptions. Music: So Noted       The left part of the first floor has been updated except for that door from the pantry. Let's FINALLY talk to Louie. Louie's room is in the upper left. This must be Louie's room. Knob Music: Straight Chaser  Got a second?What d'ya want, man?We need to talk, and I don't want any extra ears. Especially not Rosa or Dunning....Like I got a choice. C'mon in, man.I enter Louie's room.

"We can knock this door, but let's explore everywhere else first. If you don't care about exploring just scroll until you see Louie's face." You mean the like third screenshot from the end? XD I didn't skip the exploration, but that was kind of mean of you, Numbers.

I added the descriptions for the items that I forgot to post for the last few updates. The map is also added.Thesaya posted:"We can knock this door, but let's explore everywhere else first. If you don't care about exploring just scroll until you see Louie's face." Yeah... Funny how that works out...  I was actually planning to put the exploration with the previous update, but it's just too much to not put in its own update.

New Music: Resolution  What gives, man? Why you gotta come in here?We need to talk.Yeah? Well, you might wanna talk, but I don't wanna listen.I told ya, man, I wanna leave everything in the past. So just...leave me alone, dig?Can't do it. I gotta talk to you, Louie.Aw, man! What now? You gonna hassle me about old times again or what?When I mentioned Nile, you looked like you were going to be sick. Why is that, Louie? Speak up. I can't hear you. Too bad, Louie. Oh, you'll talk to me. Oh, you're gonna talk. You'll talk, or we'll go 'round and 'round. I AIN'T TALKIN'! Kick me around or whatever. Makes no difference, man.I know the score, Louie.You don't want to tell me your dead pal was neck deep in Nile's business. That's it. Isn't it?Wha-? Dammit, man! How'd you know that?! Yes, that's a red question. It means that this is serious business, if the new music didn't tip you off already. I got bad news, Louie. Nile's looking for you. What is it? That's what LAPD says. That's the straight skinny from LAPD.Man! Why this crap gotta happen now? When your boy Danny took the big sleep, a lot of cash went missing. Nile thinks you have it. Thinks you bolted town with a briefcase full'a dough. Keep calm, Louie. Did you take the money? So did you boost the dough or what?Get off my case, man! Nile thinks you're a patsy. And until they know who the big man is, they'll keep watching you. You hear what I'm saying?...They're not gonna kill me? At least, not right now?That's it, right?That's it....This is a trip and a half, man.New Music: On The Rocks  I won't show the reactions for notes and items now since it'll break the flow. I'll show it at the end of this update. Who killed Danny? I think I know who killed Danny. I don't think Louie is the type to kill anyone. I don't think it was you. It wasn't you, was it?'Course not! There's no way I'd kill him!So who was it?C'mon, man...Talk, Louie. If you didn't kill Danny, who did?...It was J.J?Yeah, that's what Danny called him, all right? J. Unlike previously when we always ask questions from top to bottom, for interrogations we'll pursue each line of questioning until the end before moving on. Who's J? Who's J?Some cat what works for Nile. He and Danny used to run together.Ever met him?No. Just heard about him from Danny.Said J was some kinda insurance-fraud pro. He'd get an art collector to insure something for a ton of cash, yeah? Then Nile would steal the piece, and the insurance money would roll in. When it was over, Nile sold the art back to the mark for big money. Danny was baggin' the money from one of those sales.Was Danny working with J when he got whacked?That's what he told me. Why was Danny killed? Why was Danny killed?...He got suckered.Suckered?Yeah. Danny was gonna lift this angel painting from Nile's hideout, ya know? Well, that ain't exactly right...It wasn't his idea to boost the painting. It was J's.What's the angel painting? What was this angel painting?No clue, man. That's just what Danny called it. Some big painting he found in Nile's warehouse. He was crazy 'bout the stupid thing. Said it was worth a fortune. Said if we could score it, we'd be set for life. Cars, clothes, babes, everything.Ever see the painting?Naw, just heard Danny run his mouth about it.Who stole the money? I bet I know who stole the money Danny was carrying. Louie would've fled the country if he actually took the money, not hiding out in some hotel. I don't think it was you. And it wasn't you. So who took it?Man, it was... It was the guy who killed him!Why'd you leave the city? Why'd you leave the city? Let me guess. Since he didn't stole the cash, that leaves one answer. 'Cause Danny got killed. Was it because Danny got killed? Had to get outta the city 'cause your buddy got cut down? That why you left? Why you fled a crime scene?Don't tell me that had nothing to do with your little cross-country trip....Had everything to do with it. We had a plan, ya know? A good plan. If Danny's job went OK, we were gonna blow outta there.Drop everything and run?Yeah... Least, that was the plan.Why?I'll tell ya, but you won't get it. Danny and me were a couple'a poor suckers from the street. No family, no nothing. Just two punks with no future.Problem is, neither of us had the nerve to make it as big-time crooks.So... We were gonna go someplace else, ya know? Become new people with new lives. Yeah... What a couple of losers, right?What happened?We needed some serious bread to get outta the city. Danny was gonna get the money by doing one last big job. I tried to stop him, man. Told him it was too risky. But he wouldn't listen...He always was an idiot.What was the job? So what was the big job?At first, it was just lifting this painting, yeah? But things started gettin' outta control fast. He started talkin' about takin' all kinds of art stuff they had stashed.He wanted to steal Nile's entire collection? Not smart.You tellin' me, man?But look, Danny didn't come up with this on his own. He was just sucked into J's plan.J's plan...Music: Resolution (Shakes his head)...What?You don't get it, do ya? You don't understand a damned thing! Not about Danny, and not about Nile. You're a total washout, man.You sayin' you do?Yeah, man. More'n you at least!So enlighten me, Einstein. Tell me how smart you are.  Music: Rainy Night Night Danny died? I was trippin' out 'cause he never showed at the restaurant, right? So I head over to check out Nile's warehouse. Soon as I walk up to the door... BANG! Somebody inside fires a gun. I duck down, scoot over to the door, and take a peek inside... Know what I see, man? Then I look past him... It's Danny. Guy shot him dead. That was three years ago. December 24th, 1976. I'll never forget it.The guy who shot Danny...It was J. Danny was just lying there, bleedin' and cryin' and... dyin'. But I had nothin', man. No gun, nothing. Just had to wait for J to split.By the time I got to Danny... Too late, man. Guy could barely talk, but he managed to tell me one thing... Said he'd been tricked. ...Said J was a cop.Then he actually apologized to me. Said he was sorry he couldn't get us the money. Dammit, Danny......Louie.Officer Hyde... What ya told me earlier in the lobby? You know, about workin' the Nile case? The part about the guy working undercover's what done it. I figured it out, man.What?Music stops Look at this picture.   The guy on the right... Music: Rainy Night You dig? You get it now? ...It was YOUR friend, man. YOUR partner.That's who killed Danny! The cops used him, man. Just a tool in their little investigation. They used him, and then they killed him when they didn't need him anymore!And nobody cared, right? Just some dead street punk. What's that worth to the cops? Nothin', man. Less than nothin'....Your partner gettin' shot on the docks? That was justice, man.He screwed up his case and got popped by Nile. Got what he deserved. That's the reason ya got canned, ain't it? Your partner blew it, and the Nile investigation went out the window.Music stops ...No.No? What d'ya mean, no?I mean you're wrong. About Bradley... Nile didn't shoot him.But...I did.Music: Insomnia  Bradley was a busy boy. He double-crossed a lot of people. Including the police.When I heard, I went after him.Music: Midnight    Music stops Bradley took a dive in the Hudson. Body never turned up. I took the heat for the shooting and quit the force.But...New Music: Violet Sky  That's a crazy story, man. That dirtbag... He screwed everybody, didn't he? Even you. You must really hate him. Wait...you don't think he's dead. Do ya?I get it, Officer Hyde! Yeah, I get it now! THAT'S why you're some loser salesman! You're looking for J! I mean, Bradley.(Nods)Wow... What a trip... Listen, Officer Hyde, why don't we team up?Team up?If your story's on the level, Nile's watchin' me and they want me dead. And I've never even smelled their drat money! Your partner framed me good, man. It's all his fault.So if Bradley's still alive and kickin'? I say we grab him and hand him over to Nile.You serious?Yeah, man. Now that we're on, like, the same team... I'll do whatever, ya know? Just give the word.Lemme think on that, Louie. I'll talk to you later.Kyle exits the room.  (Why the hell would he do it? Could it be this angel painting? Did he betray us all for a drat piece of canvas? Bradley... OK, hold on, Hyde. Take it easy.)(I gotta get my ducks in a row here...)We'll do the quiz next time. For now,here's Louie's reactions. Read note What ya lookin' at?Write note What ya writin'?Show crowbar Planning a little B&E, Officer Hyde?Show men's magazine Now THAT's what I'm talkin' about! Awwwooooooo!!Show cash I hear you, brother. I could use more of the green stuff, too.

Bradley  I can see Hyde being angry enough to hand him straight over to Nile, although not without beating some answers out of him first.

Music: Play It Again While searching for the things listed there, I ran into Rosa. She was cleaning, but I learned some news about Louie. Louie's fallen hard for a dame named...  Iris No, that ain't right. Iris is the snooty dame in 216.Helen No, that ain't right. Helen's the old gal staying in 212.Iris should've been correct. He did fall for her in chapter 1. Mila Music: Midnight Yeah, that's her. Rosa said Louie's gone gaga for Mila.Music: Play It Again  Said there's been a weird story about the hotel floating around for years. Seems people are talking about a ghost appearing here. The story got its start about...  Five years ago No, that ain't it. Five years back was when Dunning bought the hotel. Picked it up after it'd gone bankrupt.Three years ago No, that ain't it. Three years ago is when I quit the force. The same time Bradley disappeared.Ten years ago Music: Midnight That's right. A young girl was murdered here ten years ago. Case was never solved.Music: Play It Again  I waited for Dunning to leave, then went in and tossed the place. The thing I found in the cabinet was... A crowbar No, that ain't it. I found the crowbar in a toolbox in the linen storage room.A paper clip No, that ain't it. The paper clip was on the desk in Room 215.Paper clip will still be an option even if we never examine it or pick it up. A small red box Music: Midnight That's right. After I figured out how to unlock the cabinet. I found the little red box I'd been looking for.Music: Play It Again  He wanted to know if I'd been talking to Rosa or Dunning about him. He was worried I'd told 'em about his criminal record, but I hadn't. But when I talked to Ed later on, I learned something new about Louie. The new thing was...  He would get fired No, that ain't it. I did give Louie a bit of an earful about that, but I don't really care.He was in love No, that ain't it. Whoever Louie decided to moon over's no concern of mine.Nile was after him Music: Midnight That's right. That's what Ed told me. Louie's pal got murdered, and all the money he was carrying disappeared.Music: Play It Again  I found him in his room and made him spill his guts. I needed to know why he decided to leave the streets behind. Louie finally cracked and told me what was what. Seems there was an undercover cop involved in his friend's murder. The name of Louie's pal was...  Dunning No, that ain't right. Dunning's the old coot that owns this place.Jeff No, that ain't right. Jeff's the young kid who gave Mila a ride to the hotel.Danny Music: Midnight That's right. Louie's buddy was named Danny. Louie told me all about how his pal got double-crossed by an undercover cop. The cop was Bradley.Music: Play It Again  That information brought me a step closer to Bradley's trail. But why did Bradley turn his back on the force? Why did he betray me? Even after all this time. I still don't have a clue. Music: Silent Moon Listen, Bradley. I don't know where you're at, or what you're doing. But I know the answer is somewhere in this hotel. A man stayed here six months ago. A man with my name. I know you're connected in some way, Bradley. Tonight, Hotel Dusk's going to show me how.
