Hotel Dusk Room 215

Hi everyone,

In our last post we have talked about the amazing Broken Sword and its great game the Shadow of the templar, in this post we will move forward and talk about a great little ventures from "Cing" unfortunatly the went bankrupt so we wont be able to see any continuation in the series but this game was amazing.

Its name is Hotel Dusk -  Room 215 . The creator combines Dark Noir motives with a great story and puzzles that will make you want to play this game over and over again. Your playing an ex cop, Kyle, that has become a road salesman after he has given his job away on founding his partner was corrupt.  He works for an old friend of his father at a company called Red Crown.

In the game Kyle Hyde, has to pass a series of tests and puzzles that uncover information or items. Than you can interact with the members of the hotel which unlocks further areas and therefore complete certain champters.

Although I have found the game extremely short, its concept was quite new. In gameplay you have to use the funcitons of the Nintendo Ds to pass certain areas, such as listening whistling and blowing. Its great fun although sometimes quite frustrating when you dont find the right thing that you have to do at that very second.

While you receive the Room key -215 you are starting on a quest to learn more about thethe cop, Brian Bradly , friend and partner . Everything seems connected its a beautifull small compact world and soon enough youll find yourself sucked into the story and think everyone is connected somehow.

The game could have done with a few more locations, I guess thats the only thing I found lacking in my opinion. A beautifull game none the less but one that lacks variety, you could eventualy see other rooms within the hotel but that doesn't change the start is kinda slow.

The failing part of a certain puzzle can be quite stresfull as you are sent back to a previous save game, and lets face it I have either died a lot or have been cought by people I shouldnt have in rooms that I didnt had any reason to be in. I was nosy I know, but you have to be otherwise you wont get to find that one item that will push the story forward.

Its a game that at times seems it was stil in production when realesed but the whole package gives you a new feeling of something that myself as a player havent found in another game so ill have to give it to the creators for originality and inovation .

So all in all I'd have to give it a 7 out of 10  with a lot more to offer than some other adventure click games out there.

Enjoy!!!
