Premise
Part hard-boiled detective story and part intriguing mystery, Hotel Dusk is an atmospheric yarn that takes place over the course of one night—December 28, 1979.
Kyle Hyde, a disgraced New York detective turned salesman, arrives at a run-down Los Angeles inn called Hotel Dusk. Once there, Kyle soon becomes involved in a 30-year-old mystery that involves lies, betrayal, kidnapping, and murder. And over the course of the night, he will also discover something very special about Room 215… a room that is said to grant wishes.
But who is Kyle Hyde? Why is he haunted by his past? And what happened in Room 215? Only by taking stylus in hand and navigating through the story's twists and turns can you learn the answers.
Hotel Dusk is a thinking person’s DS title. With its refreshingly unique design and intriguing gameplay, Hotel Dusk is a must-have for mystery lovers and anyone looking for something different for their DS library. You’ll want to check into Hotel Dusk again and again.
Gameplay
Players hold their Nintendo DS like a book and use the touch screen to grill characters, search for clues and solve mystifying puzzles.
Walk around by dragging the stylus to the area you want your Kyle to move, according to the touch screen which is an overhead 2D map. The Topscreen (left screen) is a first person perspective in 3D, and you are able to move around and investigate in the full 3D environment. In the first person you are able see the people staying at The Dusk. They are displayed in color. When you talk to them you are given multiple choices of what to say. You can be rude, nice, call someone on a lie, chitchat, threaten people, back off, noisy, non intrusive and many others. and example is the opening dialog in the hotel that can go at least “10 different ways.”
Characters
Kyle Hyde
You play as Ex-Cop Kyle Hyde, who in order to investigate the disappearance of his former partner, goes undercover as a salesman. His former partner is stealing stuff (paintings or something), and there's some mystery around his disappearance (Yeah, that's the WHAT A-- from the E3 trailer). He tracks him to a hotel called The Dusk. On the last day of the year as he goes to The Dusk. Cue Mystery unfolding .wav
He isn't the friendliest of people...he's actually quite an ass to people.
Iris
She's in room 216, and requested that the room across from her and beside her be left vaccant. Dunning didn't listen, sticking Hyde in room 215 across the hall. [/I]
Louis DeNonno
3 years ago, he was a pick-pocketer in the streets of New York. Now, he's the bellhop. With his super laid back style he never exepected to see the cop who booked him show up at Hotel Dusk. He's so surprised that he gives Hyde the wrong package. Louie appears to be interested in Iris.
