Hotel Dusk: Room 215, released in Japan as Wish Room Tenshi no
Kioku Wisshu mu Tenshi no Kioku?, literally "Wish Room: Angel's
Memory"), is a graphic adventure game for the Nintendo DS.
The game takes place in the fictional Hotel Dusk, a small, somewhat
rundown hotel located in the southwestern United States near Los
Angeles, California during the year 1979. The game's protagonist is
Kyle Hyde, a former member of the New York Police Department
searching for his old partner, Brian Bradley. During his stay at
the hotel, Kyle unravels a mystery shrouded in the hotel's past
that may lead him to the answers he's looking for.
Hotel Dusk: Room 215 is a mystery told in a noir-like manner. Kyle
Hyde arrives at the hotel to pick up a package his boss has sent
and checks in for the night. The hotel's owner, Dunning, gives him
a key to Room 215, or "Wish" -- so named for its apparent ability
to grant the wishes of those that stay there. As Kyle wanders the
hotel, he runs into several other guests, and finds himself
becoming tangled in their problems. However, as a list of
coincidences begin to pile up, he starts to realize that Hotel Dusk
and its inhabitants may hold the clues he's been searching for that
will lead him to Bradley and the truth behind what happened three
years ago.
If you liked Trace Memory, you'll like this game even more. This
game is so hard to play and it requires a lot of patience because
of the slow progression. But it's good because it's building up the
climax.
I'm stuck at 8:40 man! I can't find Jeff Angel!
I heard that there are a few different endings depending on
relationship with the hotel guests.
