Naturally thrilling. You love Sherlock Holmes or Hercule Poirot? You gotta try this.
Hotel Dusk has a room, number 215 nicknamed "Wish". Yes, every room (maybe the suite is an exception) in Hotel Dusk, a small, brickstone hotel in the middle of an unknown sandlands, has a name. People said that anybody ever stayed in the Wish room will wake founding his/her wish granted.
You'll play as Kyle Hyde, an NY cop-turned to be-LA salesman. You represents the brand "Red Crown" and your boss-besides the main sales business-has a side business, he finds and keeps things people ordered. Once a day you was ordered to go to Hotel Dusk to retrieve some kind of suspicious package-yes, this is Ed (your boss)'s side business stuff.
When you first opened the front door with your stylus, your big adventure begin. Ironically, the hotel is so small. I'd say it's more like a motel. But your adventure inside, well, you'll found it quite preplexing in most occasions. But the fun is there. The owner of the hotel, Dunning Smith handed you the key to room 215 when you checked in. This man hates cops, it's fortunate that you're a salesman now. In the first time he tried to offer you the suite but the rate is just unsatisfactory. So, coincidentally you ended up in room 215; the so-called Wish room.
In Hotel Dusk, you'll hold your DS so it's like you're "playing" a novel. You'll have to take notes for important things too, the notes aren't being taken themselves. You'll made extensive use of stylus.
There are other people staying in the hotel, and all of them have their own peculiar, enigmatic stories, which (I don't know whether it's coincidental or not) links to each other.
The graphics are classical but innovative, combines 3D animation and animated pencil-drawn pictures. The sounds are good, yes the music and effects are synchronized well with the appropriate situation.
Your main objective is two: retrieve your boss's package, and figure out what exactly is the involvement of Bradley with all of this.
