 What is this game? Hotel Dusk: Room 215 What is this game about? It's a mystery visual novel created by (now defunct) Cing for the DS. That's it? It is a mystery VN. Telling more would be spoilerish. Fine. So what are the rules about spoilers? NO SPOILERS AT ALL ARE ALLOWED, EVEN IN SPOILER TAGS! What about the sequel? I'm planning to LP the sequel, Last Window: The Secret of Cape West, whenever this LP is done, so Edit: I'm asking for help in getting the Game Overs in that game, so any explanations about it can be made in spoiler tags. Please don't spoil any plot twists, though. I heard that there are many game overs in this game? There are. I am going to do all the game overs in a chapter AFTER I finish the normal run in that chapter. I will make some exceptions though. I'm also doing the normal run in a completed file and the game over run in the new file. The story is mostly the same and I will be pointing out major differences between them. So how are you going to differentiate your commentary and the game's dialogue? Normal game dialogue will be in normal text. (Kyle's thoughts will be in brackets).

Alright, some advice. Did you read what I posted in the sandcastle thread? Baldurk was mistaken, in the case of this game you should use an external image capture program and stick to .pngs rather than .jpgs. Right now you have the worst of both worlds, poor image quality and hugely bloated file sizes. This is the image I posted as an example, a crisp 35,1 KB png image:  This is the image you have, a visibly blurry and artifacted 132 KB jpg image:  If you could fix your images going forward, that'd be cool. Also, you claim your commentary is in italics in the OP but it's not so in the update. One last and less significant thing is that you don't need to slavishly stick to the dialogue boxes in the game when the same person speaks at length. By which I mean is that this 1234567890num posted:
Could just as well be like this: quote:
Easier to read and less effort to write, too. I should've pointed it out earlier though, so that's my bad. Anyhow, Hotel Dusk is a really cool game and it was a shame to see the last LP get abandoned, so I'm glad someone else is giving it a shot.

This game's soundtrack is really quite good, it's definitely worth clicking the music links for maximum Hotel Dusk mood.1234567890num posted:E: I don't know how to get the PNG file size low. I used Irfanview and the file size is still a lot higher than the JPG version. Odd, here are the settings I used if it helps.  The file sizes are a lot better in the second update at least, so it's just a matter of finding the right balance between size and quality from there. If you want more advice, maybe put some spaces between lines in parts like this 1234567890num posted:Lamp Wonder if the shade on that table lamp used to be white. as it's a little cramped and hard to read as it is. I don't mean to run your LP for you or anything though, so it's obviously your call. Glaive17 posted:I legit cannot see a visible difference between these 2 images, they look the same to me, sorry.

Music: Rainy Night As stated before, we're going from top to bottom. I'm waiting for a package.  There's supposed to be a package for me. A package for ya? Sorry, I don't see nothin'.It should be here. Maybe you an actually...look around or something? Ya send a package to a hotel when ya don't even have a reservation? Nice... Oh yeah? What problems?  What kind of problems?Is it anythin' that's gonna inconvenience my hotel?Depends on what you mean by "inconvenience"Had a bit'a trouble with a package for another young guy like you. Thing turned into a drat circus.(??? Really? What Happened? ???)  Buncha lousy... I'll have the bellhop look for yer package. If it shows, we'll bring it to yer room.What won't you talk about? So, you had a guest with my name?Yep. Called himself Kyle Hyde, too. As I remember it, he was about yer age.Blond fella, tall and thin. Looked kinda like a stork. (A tall, thin, blond man? Sounds like Bradley.)But I wouldn't mistake you for him. He was different.How so?Wearin' a nice suit, good shoes, the works. Looked like a somebody. I'll keep that in mind. So does Mr. Somebody stay here often?Naw, just the one time. It was 'bout...six months ago. Ain't seen him since.My room grants wishes? Fill me in on this whole wish-granting thing.It's a story I heard from folks that stayed in 215.Firse, there was a young girl. Then a middle-aged fella...Both of 'em looked beat down when they arrived. Like they had no future... But by next mornin', they'd been reborn. Their faces were just...peaceful, like. Well, I was surprised as a dog'n a tree, so I asked 'em what happened. And ya know what? They both told me the same thing. "Room 215 is magic. It granted m'wish. Everything's OK now." So that's why I said... Gotta love how Kyle looks so smug here. What's so funny? Good one, pops. Real nice. I didn't think an old-timer like ou would tell me fairy tales.Fairy tales?That's what ya think this is? Call it a fairy tale if ya want. It's a free country.What was the trouble? Talk about the trouble you mentioned earlier. What happened?That? Well, it was right 'bout three years ago. One'a the bellhops took a package up to a guest's room, right? And then...BANG! Buncha cops and detectives come stormin' in!(Detectives?)Seems m'guest was a crook! Part'a some big crime ring or somethin'. He was usin' my hotel as a drop-off for stolen goods. Whole thing was a drat mess! Gunshots in the hallway... Screamin' guests runnin' every which'a way... That's why the Dusk's got a strict policy: No crooks... AND NO COPS!Translation: do anything suspicious or caught investigating by Dunning and it's game over. Music: Hangover Blues That it?Yeah.Enjoy yer stay.And now we're back to the map. Walk a few steps and the door will open   (As I walk away from the front desk, I hear a voice behind me...)   I need a room for the night. (Just another guest.)New Music: Slow Steps Welcome to my own little slice'a heaven...Hotel Dusk!As luck would have it, we got vacancies. What kinda room ya lookin' for, darlin?Well now, aren't you just a sweet-talker? But there's a certain room I want.Which room's that? The one I saw in the newspaper article! I want that special room. The wishing room. This is the Hotel Dusk, is it not?Glad somebody bought the story.  'Course it is! And I know the room yer asking for!Unfortunately, ma'am, that room's... Oh, dear. Is it taken?That's right, and I'm drat sorry 'bout it! Uh, I mean... I'm real sorry, ma'am. Well, isn't that a shame!Ya want a different room? We got plenty, and they're all top'a-the-line!Yes, I... I suppose I'll make do with something else.And now they finish talking  Naturally, we should talk to her! Excuse me...Now, now, young man. I'm trying to check in to this nice hotel. Well that didn't go so well...  Maybe talking to Dunning will go better? Music: Hangover Blues Got a sec?Yer all checked in, ain't ya? I'm helping this other guest right now. Come back later, will ya?Fine, we'll go somewhere else. But before that... New Music: So Noted  Let's take a look at the menu! The time is the in-game time, as shown in the beginning of the last update. All of the options are self explanatory. Let's look at items first.     The pager and suitcase key has been there from the beginning of the game. Next up, characters!     The ??? only has the old lady's sprite so not worth looking at. Poor Rachel though, not having a last name.      The brochure Dunning gave us also has an incomplete map. Those greyed out areas are staff-only. Now that that's done, let's visit the lobby. Music: Monochrome (Map) Music: Straight Chaser (Examination)  The rest of this update are all flavor text, so if you don't care about that you can skip the rest. The music changes everytime you went to examination screen and the map so I'll just lump the music together.  Let's check the chairs first. They can't even bother to provide a sofa...    Left chair There are a couple of chairs in the corner of the room. Right chair Looks like someone picked these up at a garage sale. ...Or from the dump. Table There's a simple wooden table in front of the chairs.  Let's look at that vending machine with that AMAZING graphics.   Vending machine A vending machine. The bachelor's best friend. (Needs coins, huh?)StickerThere's a sticker on the side of the vending machine.   Note "get change at the front desk." -Join the Hunt!- Find the seven lucky numbers hidden in this hotel. Calculate the sum of the numbers, then input it into the machine for a prize! Get lucky for just 25 cents! So now we know what the stickers mean. We can't actually use the machine yet since we don't have any coins. The numbers are randomly generated every playthrough so you have to actually get all 7 every time. We'll just note it and move on.     Lamp I had a lamp just like this. It's worth about a buck-fifty. New. Cabinet Looks like the cabinet I owned when I still lived in the city.    Nothing interesting about the doors. You can examine the card, the knob, and knock the door but nothing will happen. I just put it so you guys know what the doors look like. And that's all in the lobby. We'll move on to the central hallway now.    The door to the restaurant is locked, obviously. We're still being railroaded.   Sign It's a neon sign advertising the hotel restaurant.  Zoomed-in sign Moonlight Grill. Not a half-bad name. Chalkboard There's a chalkboard near the restaurant entrance.  Zoomed-in chalkboard There's a message on the board. Moonlight Grill In preparation. Open at 6:00 Chalk There's some chalk lying at the bottom of the board.  Zoomed-in chalk It's some chalk.    Leftmost frame It's a framed line of poetry. ...It doesn't even rhyme. Painting There's a still life painting on the wall.  Zoomed-in painting It's a painting of a couple of apples and a bottle of wine. Cute.  It is not a couple of apples. A couple means only 2, but there are 3 apples in the painting.Sticker There's a sticker next to the frame.  Plant There's a decorative plant in the corner of the hall. Must be hiding a stain.  Fine. I suck at drawing, OK? Anyway, as we go north...  How can you not see the stairs? It's literally right there! But I can't help but feel that we're missing something...  There we go. Now let's just go upstairs...   And we'll talk to that kid next time! 1234567890num fucked around with this message at 08:27 on Dec 14, 2017 |

New Music: Pink Rabbit Hey. What?You're blocking the stairs, kid. Move it. (So this is how it's goint to be...) Move it, you brat! Move it, kid.  I'm not moving. And you're a big jerk.Where'd you come from? What's your name?Leave me alone! What was that, kid? Why won't you tell me? You won't tell me? That's what my mom taught me. She said I should never tell strangers my name. Especially jerks.Got an answer for everything, huh, kid? You keep this up and we're gonna have trouble. I'm not goint to put up with your crap.Ooooo, scary. What're you gonna do, huh?You want to know?Maybe I'll call Dunning and have him give you the bum's rush. Maybe I'll call your mom and tell her that her kid's a drat terror. Hey, kid. Ha! She's afraid of Mom! What now? You afraid of your mom? Great! Sometimes the portrait will break the monochrome style and have that 'aura'. If it happens, that means that you messed up and may/will get a game over.  Sniff... Hey, kid. We should back down for now to prevent a Game Over. Don't worry, we'll be a jerk later. C'mon, stop crying. Quit crying. You can't talk if you're bawling, right? C'mon, kid. Knock it off, will you? Why won't you move? If there's a good reason, just tell me. I... I can't finish it.Can't finish what?I can't finish my puzzle.(??? Puzzle? What puzzle? ???) Music: Rainy Night  Read note What're you looking at?Write note What're you writing?Show pager What's that?Show room 215 key Yeah, that's the key to your room and stuff.Show others Yeah, that's not mine.A puzzle, huh? New Music: Hitting the Pavement A puzzle? How's a puzzle stop you from moving? I... I can't finish it.It's almost done, but... Smooth, Kyle. This isn't the place to be working on a puzzle. Go to your room or the car or a freeway or something.My dad says I make too much noise. That's why I'm here.I was gonna go back to the room when I finished, but...I can't, OK?! There's some jokes to be made here, but I don't know which one to use: 1. What every gamer who ragequit says. 2. The Witness in a nutshell. Music: Pink Rabbit Oh, for the love of... Stop bawling! Hey. Fine, we'll help. Let me help. Give me a break, kid. A puzzle isn't something to bawl about. Look, just let me do it for you, OK?Whaaaaaaaaaa! Whaaaaa... Huh? Are you gonna help me, mister?The name's Kyle Hyde. If you're gonna talk to me, use my name.Mister Hyde?Close enough.Listen, just... Here. Give me the puzzle. Wow. What a stupidly hard puzzle. I'll leave you guys to figure out how to solve it yourselves.  There.Now take this and go back to your room.The kid shakes her head. What's wrong now?The puzzle's done. Everything's OK.No, it's not.It's not?Why not?It just isn't! It's no fun if I don't do it myself!   What are you doing? You're a complete basket case, you know that? At least say thanks for the help before you bust up the puzzle! Nice attitude, kid. You better watch your step! Huh?Pick it up. You threw 'em down, you pick 'em up. Again, smooth, Kyle. This one is justified, though. OK! OK! S-Sorry... But at least she picked up the puzzle pieces. I'm done, OK? You happy?Thrilled.I'm sorry. I'm so s-sorry... Wha... Whaaaaaaa! P-please don't hurt me!Fine, yeah, whatever.C'mon, kid. Enough of the waterworks already. Hey... Look, I didn't mean-Music stops   The girl laughs at me and runs up the stairs. drat it! I don't have time for this crap.Kyle:  (??? Who is that kid? ???)<--White Question Music: Pink Rabbit The girl dropped something on the stairs.  What's this?   Wonder what it is? And finally we're on the second floor. We'll try to look around... Music stops   Yeah... I accidentally screenshot the frame during Kyle's sprite change. That's why he looks like that.  Hey there. Hey, you OK? What's going on? Hm?You don't look so hot. What?You sick or something? N-no. No, I'm fine.All right. Sorry to bother you.Music: Slow Steps  Hold it. Yeah?Who are you?Me?Kyle Hyde. I'm down in 215.I'm Jeff. Jeff Angel. Stay here a lot?  No, I've never stayed in a place like this before. Really? No choice, huh? Why don't you have a choice? Something happen?What's that? Why am I staying here? I don't think I need to explain myself to you.Just asking.Just asking?Easy. It's not like I'm a cop or anything. You're not a cop?That's kind of an odd thing to just blurt out, isn't it?So...you're not a cop?That's too bad.(??? It's too bad I'm not a cop? ???) Music: Rainy Night  Read note What are you reading?Write note What are you writing?Show pager Yeah, that's a pager. So what?Show room 215 key That's the key to Room 215. My room is 213. It's called Trust. I know...stupid, right?Show hotel brochure That's a brochure for this dump.Show others Why are you showing that to me? I don't know a thing about it.And we'll ask the questions next time! Yeah, this is a LONG game. We're not even a third through the first chapter!

Music: Rainy Night Who's the kid on the stairs? The kid on the stairs. Where's she staying?Kid?Young girl, about ten. Rude as hell.Oh, her. You must be talking about Melissa.(Her name's Melissa?)She's in Room 219.I don't know this because I never stayed in a small hotel, but is it normal for the guests to know one another's room like this? She's staying with her father. Part of the great unwashed, if you ask me.It's too bad I'm not a cop? Why is that too bad? You lookin' for the law?Oh, no reason. Hey. Cool? What did you mean by "cool"? Take a look around. Better yet, take a sniff. This hotel... It's like the set of some cheap TV crime drama, don't you think?What if a real crime took place? Something sleazy and violent... And then if a real gumshoe was here trying to figure things out... C'mon! That would be cool! Even you must think so.That's an odd thing to think about.Yeah, I'm a pretty deep guy.Hey, take it easy. I'm not a criminal or anything.Of course you aren't. If you are Dunning would've kicked you out already. Music: Slow Steps Anything else?Not now.All right.See you around.Mr. Jeff Angel goes back to his room. And that ends the conversation. We can now look around on the second floor hallway. Music: Monochrome (Map) Music: Straight Chaser (Examination)    Plant It's a potted plant of some kind. Painting There's a painting on the wall. It's a still life.  Zoomed-in painting It's a painting of a couple of apples and a bottle of wine. Cabinet It's a small wooden cabinet. My favorite. Lamp There's a lamp on the cabinet. Leftmost frame There's a frame on the wall. Looks like the history of the hotel.    Wall lamp It's a small light stuck to the wall. Frame There's a legal document on the wall. Probably lets them run the place. Table lamp There's a lamp on the cabinet. Cabinet It's a small wooden cabinet. Sticker There's a sticker on the cabinet.    And we already got 4 out of 7 codes! If only we can find some coins...And now it's time for DOOR MONTAGE! (Some of them actually have interesting comments) we can actually meet a character early    See if you can figure out which door belong to which room.  Knock Guess no one's here. Or they're ignoring me.  Knob Door's locked and won't open. drat.  Knob Door's locked and won't open. Stupid door...  Knock No one seems to be in. Maybe these doors are soundproof...  Knock  Holy poo poo! Someone actually opens the door!  Kyle Hyde. I'm in 215.   The man says nothing and shuts his door. (See where the kid gets her manners...)Hey, at least he still opens his door when we knocked! Knock again Doesn't appear to be anyone in. ...Oh...   Knock  Kyle Hyde.I don't need anything. Go Away. Kyle: Screw you too, Jeff.  Knock Knock, knock... Anyone home? Guess not...    And that's all the doors! Let's look at the menu for a second. Music: So Noted     And we'll go into the room next time! Just kidding! We'll enter now... (The door's locked. Guess that figures.)(The key I got at the front desk should open it. Unless the owner is an idiot...)Yeah... I guess we SHOULD use the key first. You can tap the bag icon to access the item menu.  And after selecting the item, you can tap the area you want to use it on. In this case we use the Room 215 Key on the doorknob. I use my key and unlock the door to Room 215.And THEN we can tap the knob to enter the room.  So this is where wishes are granted, huh? My rear end.  (Just finish Ed's job and get the hell out of here.)  Yeah, I got the sprite-transition frame again. Sorry about that. ALL of the sprites have 2 seconds of animation. The phone rings.    Technically we can examine our room now, but we probably should take care of the phone first.  Phone The phone's ringing. New Music: Serenity   Heavy breathing, eh? Well, it must be you. Glad you made it in one piece, handsome. Hey, Rachel.You could have called when you got in! Some of us worry, you know.Yeah, yeah. Look, I just got here. Get off my case. And listen, do me a favor and give Ed a massage. Tell him he doesn't need to have you checking up on me with every little thing. I got my instructions. I'm on top of it. I'm not calling for Ed, Kyle. That so?Yes, it's so! I'm calling because I was worried. I've been thinking about it ever since we had dinner on Christmas Eve. Something's bugging you.Why would you think that? Oh, please! I may not be a hard-boiled gumshoe like you and Ed, but I have eyes! You get that stare sometimes, you know? The one that says you're a million miles away.It's nothing, Rachel.Fine. Be that way. But, Kyle, you're not exactly an open book. And people are saying all kinds of things, sweetie, and most of them aren't very nice. Like that you're an ex-cop from New York who was on the take and split town? Or a mystery man on the run from some shadowy organization?Hey! That's Kyle's dream! They talk and you listen. Is that it?Listen, Kyle... Your past is yours, OK? Nothing to do with me. I get it. I just want to know you better, handsome. That's all. Whatever you say.So, um, has the package arrived yet?Not yet. Maybe some shadowy organization killed the deliveryman.You can be a real jackass sometimes, sweetie. You know that? Listen, when it arrives, check the order sheet and give me a call. OK?All right. Is that all that's in the package? An order sheet?No, there are some new products in there, too.New products? What am I supposed to do with them?You're a salesman, Kyle. Try selling something. Oh, and those are Ed's orders. Not mine.Door-to-door sales in a hotel? That'll be fun.Oh, and one more thing. I put the client list in the package too.Oh, that."Oh, that"? Listen, mister, "that" is a salesman's best friend! Be nice! When the package arrives, don't just leave the client list in the box, all right? Put it in your suitcase!Yeah, yeah. I know.Bye, sweetie. Don't forget to call.Yeah. Ed usually contacts me through his secretary, Rachel. She doesn't know anything about Bradley, though. That's my business, not hers. Phone rings again. Phone again.Yes, we have to select the phone EVERY SINGLE TIME we want to answer/make a call. It gets annoying really quick. Music: Hangover Blues  That you, Dunning? Yep. So how's the room?It'll do.Good to hear, good to hear. Oh, by the way... I forgot t'mention this when ya checked in, but...What?I need ya t'pay yer tab up front.Up front?Now don't get me wrong! It ain't that I don't trust ya or nothin'. It's just...yer a first-time guest, and I don't know ya or nothin'.Translation: Pay me now so I don't lose any money when/if I kick you out. Hold on. You want me to pay you right now?Naw, ain't like that. Ya don't hafta take care of it right away. Ya just got here after all! Go ahead and sit a spell. But if ya swing by and take care of it before six o'clock, I'd be much obliged. I'll be in m'office or at the front desk.Fine.Thanks a bunch, Hyde. Sure do appreciate it.Sure. Whatever.Kyle hangs up Cash... Where's my cash... Oh, right. I tossed my roll in my suitcase when I got out of the car. We'll explore the room and get our cash next time! 1234567890num fucked around with this message at 07:07 on Dec 3, 2017 |

Music: Monochrome (Map) Music: Straight Chaser (Examination) Last time, Dunning asked us to relax in our room. So that's what we're going to do now.   Wall lamp There's a light above the painting. Painting There's a painting on the wall. It's a still life.  Zoomed-in painting Those are some tasty-looking apples. I must be getting hungry. Bed So this is where I'll be sleeping? Bed's a bed, I guess. Phone There's a phone next to the bed. ...Music: Serenity Hello, Red Crown.Hey, Rachel. It's me.Well, hi there, sweetie. Did you get the package?Not yet.So you just called to talk to me? How sweet! But just call back when you have it.All right.Kyle hangs up. Music: Monochrome (Map) Music: Straight Chaser (Examination) I didn't even know that scene exist. Same with that scene with Melissa's father. Phone again There's a phone next to the bed, which means I can call Rachel. Dresser Hey, a dresser! I've just got an old box in my place. Brochure Hotel brochure's next to the phone.  Paperclip There's a paper clip on the brochure. A paper clip, huh?Table lamp It's a lamp with a dingy shade. Bet it used to be white.    Window Can't see anything out the window. Bed So this is where I'll be sleeping? Bed's a bed, I guess. (Same comment as before.) Lamp I've got a small lamp next to my lamp. Beats candles. Lamp stand There's a shoddy-looking wooden stand here.    Lamp There's a lamp on the wall. Mirror There's a mirror above the sink. Towels Got some towels on the shelf. Nice to see things in order. Toiletries There's some shampoo and stuff in front of the mirror. Sink That's your basic sink. Just like the one I got at home. Toilet paper It's toilet paper. This hotel's looking better and better all the time. Toilet It's a toilet. Big surprise, this being the bathroom and all. Curtain There's a shower curtain around the bathtub. Bathtub Bathtub's clean. That gets a gold star in my book.  This game really tries to capture the old-school feeling. Unfortunately, old-school doesn't always mean good. Case in point: that wall.   Rack There's a wooden hanger rack attached to the wall. Hanger The hanger's attached to the rack. Do people really try to steal these?  Zoomed-in hanger That's a wire hanger.    TV Now THAT'S and old TV. Bet it's black-and-white. Fridge Hey, there's a minifridge under the TV. How's that for class? Pitcher There's a pitcher and a cup on the bureau. Last thing I want is water. Cabinet Got myself a small bureau. It's empty, and it's going to stay that way. A quick google search shows that 'bureau' in this case is a British word while this game is set in USA. Lamp There's a floor lamp in the corner of the room. Chair That's a wooden chair. Table There's a round table in the corner of the room. Suitcase My suitcase is sitting on the table.   (All the scuffs and tears... It sure is showing its age. Still, it was my father's suitcase, and it's been with me a long time. Hell, I was lugging the old girl around when I started working for Ed. My constant traveling companion.)OK, that's enough relaxing. Let's finally open our suitcase and get our money. Use suitcase key on suitcase  Another easy minigame. All we need to do is put the key in the keyhole.  And then we just have to turn it. It's no big d...  ...oops    Dammit! This is not what I need right now.(Now what am I goint to do? Maybe I can use some wire to pick the lock.)Why would you know how to pick a lock? Anyway, someone then knocks the door.  Hullo? Hey, got a package from the front desk.  And we're finished with the first part of the first chapter! Each chapter is divided into 3 parts.  So now we should open the door. Everytime we want to do so we have to get near the door and press the 'door' icon. Annoying but not as bad as the phone. Music stops   OK.Put it down anywhere.  Great service and grammar. No problem. We just have to tap the top box. No, we can't take the bottom box. I take one of the boxes from the bellhop.  New Music: Easy Feeling  ...I gotta blow? Wait a second... This guy is really bad at lying. Wait a second... Well, we don't know him, but Kyle seems to. So we probably should 'greet' him. You sound familiar! Don't move! That voice. I know your voice. Can't be? Why? Look at me! (What's up with this guy? What's he hiding?)(Time to get a look at his face.) I said look at me! We now need to tap the bellhop. I grab the bellhop's chin and yank his head up. You! Aw, man!I know you!Dammit, man! Aw, dammit...Louie!  'Course, I guess there isn't nothin' I can do about it now, eh? Long time, no see, Officer Hyde. (Last time I saw him was the winter of '76, three years ago. He was roaming the subways of Manhattan picking pockets for a living.)Why are you here, Louie? Run out of wallets to lift in the Big Apple?What's it look like, man?I'm workin' here!Working? You? Bull. I don't buy it.That's the God's honest, man! I got my act together!(??? You got your act together? ???) Been three years since I moved out here and scored this gig!(Three years... That's about the same time I quit the force.)How did you know I was here?Aw, man, I knew it soon as I saw your name on the package, yeah? Package shows up for the cop what busted me... What're the odds, man?I been here for THREE YEARS! Just started to put all that New York stuff behind me, ya dig? Hold on a second... Bad memories of me, eh? You wanted to forget my name, Louie? You bet I did, man! 'Course, I wanna forget all the crap what happened back then.Is that so?When I first got this gig? Used to check the guest list every day. I was a total freak show. Always afraid someone I knew would show... It was a trip, man! You woulda laughed at what a dork I was. But I got lucky, and never saw a name I recognize. ...And now you show.(??? No guests with my name? ???) So what's the deal, Officer Hyde? What you doing all the way out here in a crappy hotel like this? Must be a major bust you got lined up, right? Why else would a Manhattan cop be so far from home? It's kind of complicated... That's not it.So...what? You're, like, on vacation? Checkin' out the tar pits and crap like that?No. Huh? Man, you're a TRIP! I don't get you! Everything you say's like a riddle or a mystery or somethin'.Whatever. Not my business what you're doin' here. You keep your secrets, and I'll keep mine.What? What?What's the problem? Why're you staring at me?Mellow out, man. No big. Just that...you're different now, ya dig?I was gonna say somethin' earlier, but I didn't want you to freak.What're you talking about?What's different about me?I dunno...Spit it out. Just...something.You got a different vibe about you.(??? A different vibe? ???) Music: Rainy Night  Read note What're you looking at, man?Write note What're you writing, man?Show pager What ya showing me a pager for, man? I got no need for fancy electronics.Show room 215 key Don't lose your room key, brother, or old man Dunning'll skin ya alive.Show hotel brochure Ya think these brochures really do anything for business?Show others  I got a job, Hyde. I don't need your handouts.And as always, we're going to ask those questions next time! Audience participation: figure out how to open the suitcase. 1234567890num fucked around with this message at 16:05 on Nov 26, 2017 |

Music: Rainy Night You're doing better? You got your act together?Yeah, man, I got tired of picking pockets. Big risk, small reward, yeah? Hold on.So what happened? Something happened, didn't it?Yeah, maybe... But I ain't talking about it. Not somethin' I'm gonna get into with a cop.(??? What won't you talk about? ???) (Oh, right...)(He doesn't know I quit the force.)What's up, man? Cat got your tongue?It's nothing.I have a different vibe? Different vibe? What the hell's that supposed to mean?Well, it's, you know...C'mon, man, you gotta know what I'm sayin'!You got that crappy leather jacket and that totally whacked-out tie. And your hair? Man, you got serious issues there.This look... It ain't like you, man.Not like me?Uh-huh.The Officer Hyde I remember always wore a fly black suit.And the way you used to strut around the city? You had it goin' on, man!(He's right. That's how it used to be. That's who I was. We ruled the streets, Bradley. You and me, playing the heroes.)Yeah? What else?Well, that's it, man. I mean, you were...Spit it out, Louie.You were cool, man. Even when you were hasslin' me, you were cool.My cool ran out.I changed jobs and changed clothes. That's it.Right....No guests has my name? You telling me you never heard of other guests with my name?Yeah, man. That's what I'm tellin' ya. Not likely I'd forget somethin' like that.Why you bustin' me about it, anyways?Seems there was a guest with my name about six months back.Six months...?No, man, I got nothin'. 'Sides, you think I wouldn't remember a guest what had your name?I guess...What won't you talk about? What don't you want to talk about? What happened? Forget it. I split that scene for my own reasons, man. Got nothin' to do with you.Music: Easy Feeling This gig's been goin' on too long. I gotta blow, man.All right.But, uh, listen. Before I go, lemme ask you something?What is it?You, uh... You said you changed gigs, yeah?What's the story?Oh, that. I hung it up. Truth, Louie?I hung it up.Hung what up?My badge.What? No way! You quit the beat?!Yeah. Actually, I got canned. You were FIRED?!Oh man, Officer Hyde! What'd you do?!Well...New Music: Midnight  Hyde, I've got bad news. It's Bradley. He...   Music: Easy Feeling You really wanna know?...No thanks, man. I'll pass. Sounds too heavy for me. Maybe some other time, yeah?All right.Can't believe you're not a cop anymore, man. What a trip.So, what's your deal now?I sell household goods door-to-door.C'mon! Get outta here! You're a door-to-door salesman?Yeah.You?Me.So that package what I delivered is full'a sales stuff? Detergent and floor wax and hairnets? Old lady crap like that?Could be. Louie REALLY enjoys this. Knock it off. What's so drat funny?Everything, man! C'mon, the famous Officer Hyde? A SALESMAN? That's even more of a gas than me being a bellhop! Whaaaaa ha ha ha haaaaa!Like i said, REALLY enjoys this. That so?...All right, man, I gotta bail. ...Yo, Officer Hyde?Yeah?My past... You know all the crap that happened in New York? All the stuff I did? Well, ain't nobody out there who knows about it, man. I'd appreciate it if you'd... like...keep it to yourself. Ya know?All right.Louie leaves the room. Now we can check around the room. Let's check our package. Music: Straight Chaser (Examination)  Package The package Louie delivered is on the bed.  A single brown notebook is inside the box. Notebook Huh? What's this supposed to be?There's no order sheet. This isn't Ed's package. The moron Louie brought me the wrong package!(??? I gotta tell the front desk. ???)<--White Question  The title written on the cover of the notebook is "The Secret Word." I guess we SHOULD try to open the suitcase and get our money. Seriously, I have no idea why didn't he just keep some money in his wallet. But how will we open the suitcase? Thesaya posted:Well, the hanger for sure but I haven't seen any wirecutters lying around. This is a good idea but we can't cut it so we can't try it out right now. Examining the hanger gives the same response as before. DariusLikewise posted:Paperclip that bitch So this is what we're going to try now. Paperclip There's a paper clip on the brochure. A paper clip, huh?Better hang on to this. It may come in handy.  (If I straightened this out...)And we got our paperclip! Honestly, I have NO IDEA how this become a meme. Seriously, there's a speedrun category that ends when you get this item.   Using the paper clip will bring us into a minigame. In this one, we have to straighten out the paperclip. It's not too hard. Just don't move it too quickly or it won't work.  Like I said, easy. (What's not easy is making sure the GIF size is below 2 MB.) There we go...nice and straight. (Let's see if I can pick the lock on my suitcase.)Use thin wire on suitcase   Like before, we just need to push the object into the keyhole.  What comes next is different, though. Our goal now is to push all the "locks".  But of course it's not that easy. (This GIF is just barely below 2 MB.) (This ain't working. I'm not gonna get my suitcase open with this thin wire.)(I'm going to need a bigger piece of wire.)Well that didn't work. Maybe we should use the hanger after all. Also, finding an object in the hotel to do something will be a common puzzle in this game. We should let out some steam by complaining to the front desk. But before that, we'll look at the descriptions. Music: So Noted      Music: Monochrome Okay, let's go to the front desk. Maybe we'll find a wirecutter there. We won't be opening the suitcase this chapter. But just as we approach the stairs...  Someone's coming out of Room 219.    Ah! We'll talk to her and complain about the hotel service next time! 1234567890num fucked around with this message at 16:50 on Nov 23, 2017 |

Do you guys think that the length of the updates are long enough, or do you want me to make it longer or shorter? I was kinda hoping that we can get into the next page before the chapter is over, since this page has many images. Next update hopefully will be posted in 2 days.

Let's talk to Melissa now. We should chew her out for last time. Music: Pink Rabbit  What?What's the score?Hey! Kid!I'm talking to you.My name's not "kid"!Yeah, I know. Your name's Melissa.Hey! You know my name!'Course I do. Don't underestimate adults, kid. We know things.Yeah, right. Whatever.I don't know about you guys, but I'd be surprised if someone suddenly knows my name. Seriously, kid. Stop playing on the stairs. It's a hassle.I'm not gonna play on the stairs anymore. But I lost something really important. Tell me something, will you? Why can't you see mom? You won't be able to see your mom?Uh-huh. I had to promise my dad. I gotta do what he says... with no "back talk." If I don't, we won't see my mom. We'll just go home.(??? You're going to see Mom? ???) That's why I'm not gonna be a brat anymore.Music: Rainy Night  All of the new items (except puzzle piece) give the 'others' responses from last time. Let's just start with the questions. Going to see your mom, huh? What do you mean, you're gonna go see your mom? Hey, kid. Where'd your mom go? Where'd your mom go?I dunno.But I was crying 'cause I wanted to see my mom for Christmas, right? And so Dad said we could go and see her.So where are you going?I dunno.That's quite the plan.Where are you going, mister?Me?I'm here on business, so I go where the boss says. Just gotta wait and see.Oh business?That's just like my dad. My dad always has to do whatever his boss says. That's why he's so busy.(??? What's your dad's job? ???) What's your old man do? What's your old man do?Old man? Who's that?Your dad. What kind of work does your dad do?He's a surgeon and stuff.He works at some hospital somewhere.A sawbones, huh?Yeah, I guess.And my mom works at an art museum. Her name's Grace. My mom's... Wow, Kyle is REALLY GOOD with kids! ...Fine, go ahead. What's your mom like?What's she like? She's nice, and pretty, and she bakes really good birthday cakes.What else?Well, she always said nice stuff about my drawings. I used to draw pictures of my mom all the time.Pictures of your mom?Uh-huh.Sounds like a class act... Why don't you draw a picture of her in this?I open my notebook and give it to Melissa. Sure, I guess.Melissa drew a picture in my notebook. There. Hmm?Music: Pink Rabbit (Oh, right... Guess I'll give her back that puzzle piece I found on the stairs.)And then we get kicked into the map screen. We talk to Melissa again. Hey.What?Music: Rainy Night And that brings us to the question screen without any question. For other times when this happens I'll cut to the question screen. We can actually see the picture Melissa drew.  I can point out the various strange things with this picture, but I won't. It is a kid's drawing anyway. Also, notice that there's 4 pages for the notebook now. Not that we can draw on the fourth page. Also, she actually have different reactions for notes this time. Read note Whatcha looking at?Write note Whatcha writing?There's no new reactions for any previous items. So let's just give her the puzzle piece. Show puzzle piece This is yours, isn't it?Oh...Here.T-thank you.This puzzle was a present from my mom. It's my treasure.And we're brought back to the question screen. With nothing to do, when we exit the screen... Music: Pink Rabbit    Dad, I was- OK. The two of them go into Room 219. (What's up with that guy? I can see why his wife split.)Music: Monochrome    Right, let's talk to this mysterious girl that will definitely not be important in any way! Music: Secrets  You got a second?Hey! .jpg) There's dramatic music when her face is revealed, even though we've seen her before. (That's her. That's the girl I saw on the drive out here.)It's you! I saw you standing alone by the side of the road. You were on the side of the highway, about an hour from here.Wait, we've been here only for 10-ish minutes! Assuming he went here after Ed called, meeting the girl. on the way, there's no way he met her about an hour from here!  You know, unless she's actually the Flash.  What? What's wrong? Not you?(What's going on? Why won't she say anything?) Huh? Wait a minute... Sorry, are you deaf? I didn't mean to...Yeah, the typical 'asking the deaf person if he/she is deaf' She can hear just fine! Mmm-hmm! There's a voice behind me.  Music: Hangover Blues  But she hasn't said boo since she arrived. Don't ask me why not! I don't know.Who are you? Me?  So you're Rosa?Why are you asking? Has someone been talking about me again?Yeah, I ran into Dunning at the front desk. He came out screaming 'cause he thought I was you.Oh, did he now? Yeah, that sounds like Mr. Smith. Sorry about that.I bet the boss was lost in one of his hockey games. As usual. He's supposed to be watching the front desk. 'Course he never does. The man is useless. Totally useless.Right... So who's the girl? Her? Miss Talkie over there? That's Mila. Why? Why you asking? There something you need from her?(??? Her name's Mila?! ???)  And we're kicked back to the map screen. Talking to the girl again gives us... Music: Secrets Hello?Can't answer me, huh? Right. Let's talk to Rosa now. (Ignore the flashing notebook. I haven't read the note when I took the screenshot) Music: Hangover Blues Who are you, anyway? I haven't seen you around here.That doesn't surprise me. I'm a guest. Probably don't see too many in this place.Wow, that's rude. Well, don't I feel silly! I didn't realize! Wait a second... A salesman, huh? Why'd you think I was a salesman?Red Crown.What?The jacket. On your back. You're wearing one of their jackets, aren't you?Guess I am.So then I was right, wasn't I? Yeah, I knew it. Mmm-hmm!I bought some things from one of your salesman before.He gave me a song and dance about how great your stuff is. Of course, he lied. Do me a favor. Get your company to sell things that are worth a darn.So tell me, what's your name? Wait! Let me guess! Um...no. I have no idea.Kyle Hyde. Oooooohhhh...So YOU'RE the man staying in Room 215. Shoulda known, shoulda known.Look at that. You do know me.Music: Rainy Night  Read note What're you reading?Write note What're you writing?Show pager Yes, yes. That's a very nice... one of those things.Show room 215 key That's your room key. You know, for opening the door? Don't lose it.Show hotel brochure That's a pamphlet for this hotel. I clean those off the floor all the time!Show others Huh? What? What's that? Put that away, will you?And we'll ask those question next time! 1234567890num fucked around with this message at 10:11 on Dec 1, 2017 |

Music: Rainy Night Let's get straight to complaining. I got the wrong package. Your bellhop delivered a package a few minutes ago.But it wasn't mine.Huh? What? He brought you the wrong package? What a dolt!Yeah, looks like he got his wires crossed somewhere.Sorry about that. I'll make him look into it. Don't worry about a thing.Her name's Mila? So the girl's name is Mila?Oh yeah. Sure. Well, that would be my guess. I mean, that's what the bracelet on her left arm says.(Bracelet?)Music stops  Dramatic music! Unfortunately I don't know how to get the jingles. There are plenty. There's one for this dramatic thing, getting item, starting minigame, finishing minigame, failing minigame, etc. Music: Suspicions   Music stops That's impossible.(The bracelet Bradley was wearing... It couldn't be...)Music: Rainy Night What is it? Something wrong? What's wrong?No...it's nothing.Oh...OK. Fine by me.So...the girl. Is she staying here tonight? Yeah, I think so. I'll probably drop her in my room.(??? Drop her? What's that mean? ???) It means she's going to drop her off the window in her room, obviously. You're going to drop her? What do you mean?It means I'll let her stay in my room. As a favor?You have a room?Yeah, that's right. A room. I work here and live here, too. Lousy deal, I know.But tht poor young girl's obviously lost, so what can I do? Nothing, that's what!You're giving her a room to stay. That's not 'nothing'. I thought only little kids got lost.Well, she might be a simple old to be called lost, but she sure looks out of place. I heard she was just standing on the side of the road. Poor thing! She doesn't have any luggage or anything.Did she make it here all on her own?No, she got a ride. Hitchhiked. That young man who checked in earlier brought her.(??? Young man? ???) But then he found out she doesn't talk, so he left her here. You believe it? Pretty cold if you ask me! Leaving here here all alone like that! Just ain't right.What guy brought her? Who brought her in?Fellow's name is Jeff Angel. He's in 213.Why? Why'd you ask? Do you know him? Yeah, we met. I met him. Briefly.That so?Then you understand what I'm talking about! He looks harmless enough, right?But it's the ones who look sweet that you have to fear, and for a fact!I'm sure he just picked her up because she's cute. Then he abandons her! What a creep!I have some problems with the timeline here. Did Jeff check in before or after Kyle? If it's before, then he wouldn't be able to get into the room while we're messing with Melissa. But if it's before, it still doesn't make sense how Mila is found 1 hour away but still managed to get here and tell Rosa somehow about him. You know, unless she's actually The Flash. Music: Hangover Blues   Rosa runs to the front desk and answers the phone.         Note how Kyle's expressions changes. Rosa finishes talking and hangs up the phone. That sounded promising.Seems we found your missing package. Good thing, eh?That was another guest. Sounds like he got it by mistake. He said he'll just take it on over to your room. Pretty nice of him.So we could've called the front desk instead of going there directly? Wow, what a waste of time. Works for me. Now you just go on up and wait in your room. Go on, now! Move it! Of course, Mila. Just go with Rosa. Who WOULDN'T trust that smile? Rosa and Mila walk off to the far end of the lobby. (Mila, huh? That was the name of Bradley's kid sister.) Music: Monochrome We're now back in the map screen. With nothing else we need to do, we get back to the second floor. (Maybe I should have a chat with Jeff Angel about Mila.) Knock Music: Slow Steps  Yes? What is it?I met a girl in the lobby named Mila.Mila? Who's that?You should know. You brought her here.Oh. Her.(??? You didn't know her name? ???) What about her?Music: Rainy Night  Read note What are you looking at?Write note What are you writing down?Yeah, I think the reactions for note in every conversation is different. I'll try to get them all. You didn't know her name? She never told you her name?Maybe. I don't remember. ...Why'd you bring her here? Wait, wait. She ASKED? She ASKED you to bring her here?Of course! Well, kind of... Actually, she never said a word to me.She didn't talk?I thought you already know this! So how'd you know she wanted to come here?She had a brochure. Of the hotel, you know?(??? She had a brochure? ???) You know, paper? Little pictures? Anyway, I figured it was her stop.Showing him the hotel brochure gives the same response as before. She knew about this hotel? So she knew about this hotel, did she?Are you practicing to be an echo chamber or something? Yeah, she knew. She was carrying a brochure from this hotel. I don't get why this is so hard for you. I asked her where she was headed. She showed me the brochure. I needed a place to stay, too, and figured one place was as good as another. So here I am. Believe me, I wouldn't have stopped if I knew what a dump it really was.Music: Slow Steps You need anything else?No.All right.Good-bye, then.Jeff finishes talking and shuts the door. We move some steps to our room.  A door opens on the right side of the hallway, and a woman steps out.  Music: Easy Feeling  You must be the man from Room 215.Yeah.Who are you?I'm staying in 216.That's a funny name.I'm Iris.  ...You're not much of a conversationalist, are you?No, but I can carry a tune.I'm sure you can carry all manner of things, Mr...Hyde. Kyle Hyde. Mr. Hyde, hmm?I'll make a note of it.(Make a note of it? What the hell's that supposed to mean?)You need something?No, not really. I was just confirming a hunch.(??? Confirming a hunch? ???) Music: Rainy Night  Read note What are you looking at?Write note What are you writing?Show room 215 key Your room is called Wish? They stuck me in Success. Fitting, I suppose...Show hotel brochure Do you feel the need to carry around a brochure for this place?Show others  I can't imagine why you're showing me this, but I'm sure I can't care less.We'll ask the questions next time!

I'm hoping we can get into the next page before the next update. It will be a little longer than usual since it' Also, if I made a typo/wrong grammar, feel free to correct me. 1234567890num fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Nov 26, 2017 |

I'm enjoying the LP so far, I'm looking forward to reading this adventure again. What is everyone's favorite character so far? I'm a fan of the eye patch lady.

Mine is Rosa because she is the only competent staff in Hotel Dusk. By the way, for the game over updates, do you want me to show only the choices that lead to game overs or show most of the alternate choices? The latter will obviously make it a lot longer. Edit: i plan to show some minor changes from new game and new game + either way. I don't plan to show every single dialogue choices either way. 1234567890num fucked around with this message at 04:28 on Nov 27, 2017 |

Maybe show off alternate choices if they're amusing or reveal something interesting.

I guess I'll skip the 'press' (yellow triangle) and skip the two lines of dialogue from doing it. I'll show off different dialogues if they're really different. There's actually a LOT of dialogues people miss when playing normally even when they're being thorough (like how I showed in the normal updates). I'll show the other dialogue option if I get a choice without pressing. I'm actually just finished writing the next update and can post it as soon as we move to the next page.

(helping get to next page) My favorite character in this game is definitely Kyle Hyde himself. He is such a jerk to everyone, it's great. After that is probably Louis.
