In the first game Kyle was mostly talking either to honest people, or non-professionals, the insurance investigator should be harder to talk down to. It's mostly those weird Game Overs, because Kyle couldn't be arsed not to give out all his money or not to pry that make him look dumb - but maybe he is, and was just lucky in the first game? Apparently without his dumb job he'd die, and Rachel does every bit of research for him anyway.

FoolyCharged posted:Man Kyle has lost a few steps. Most of that conversation was spent figuring out that the insurance fraud investigator was after a woman for the big insurance policy she told kyle about. I'm not sure why the game had us beat around the bush on that instead of just bringing it out and fleshing out the two new pieces of information there. To be fair, Rex just revealed that he investigated the building itself. Scarlet Star just seems to come out of nowhere because we haven't actually done anything about it until now.

Music: Clearing the Mist I collected all the money I had in my wallet, but I was still short. There was more inside an empty whiskey bottle, but I needed to break it open. I asked Dylan for something to use, and he lent me...  A jigsaw puzzle  No, that's not it. The jigsaw puzzle was inside Dylan's room, hanging on the wall in a frame.An answer phone No, that's not it. The answer phone is in my room. I doubt it could be used to smash open a bottle.It could, but you'll probably break the phone too. A hammer  Right. Dylan lent me his hammer. I used it to smash open the bottle and retrieve the cash. Skipping through Tony's attempts to swindle you, huh? As it turned out, Marie also owed Mags some money, which surprised me a little. I met Marie in the lobby, but we were interrupted when someone came in. It was...  Tony No, that's not who it was. Tony paid me a visit earlier when he came to my room.Sidney No, that's not who it was. I met up with Sidney when I went to Lucky's Café.Rex  It was none other than Rex Foster who came in when we were talking. As soon as Marie saw Rex, she fled back to the safety of her room. When I got there, I found a letter addressed to Marie from an insurance company. After I handed it over to her, she told me about...  A quiz application form No, that's not it. She never mentioned the Lucky's Café quiz.Paying the rent No, that's not it. We barely even touched on the subject of unpaid rent.A bugging device Right. She told me about a bugging device she'd found in her room. She had some information to share with me about Rex Foster. She told me some interesting facts about him, including his job as...  A musician No, that's not it. Tony's the only musician around here.An ex-detective No, that's not it. There's only one ex-detective that I know of in this building, and that's me.Watch as it's revealed later that there's more musicians and ex-detectives here. An insurance claim investigator Right. It turns out that Rex is an insurance claims investigator. I headed to Lucky's Café and found a second bugging device, so I confronted Rex about it. He shared some eye-opening facts about Marie with me. He told me...  Ed's ex-boss was a candidate for mayor No, that's not it. I heard about Ed's Ex-boss running for mayor from Rachel. As far as I know, Rex has no idea who Ed is.Marie's husband and brother worked at the hotel No, that's not it. I didn't hear about that from Rex.She was suspected of insurance fraud Right. Rex said that he had some suspicions about the death of Marie's husband, and was looking around for evidence to back them up. Also, 13 years ago, Marie's brother died in similar circumstances. She became the sole beneficiary of the payout from his insurance policy. I put the pressure on Rex and he told me some interesting facts, not only about Marie, but also about the past before this building became an apartment block. This is what he told me... He said that the person with all the facts about the Scarlet Star was my dad. It was those words that prompted me to make a decision I couldn't make before. I decided that I'd take a closer look into the mysterious order sheet I received. I started to consider that the Scarlet Star that went missing 25 years ago may be in some way connected to the death of my dad. And in the dead of night, for the first time in years, I called my mom. When I got her on the phone, I asked her about what happened all those years ago. And we're not going to hear the call itself? Okay then.

Music: Razzle Dazzle      That's a longer intro than usual. Music: Mulling It Over   Last night on the phone she said, "Scarlet Star? No, I never heard your father say that."  I decide to take a stroll to a small park I know two blocks from here. Music stops (just some car sounds)  Not pictured: a park or a bench. It definitely helps to wake me up a little more.  No matter how hard I try, I just can't get that mysterious order sheet out of my head.  (I think it's about time I checked out the fourth floor.)Mr Hyde, hold it right there!   (Betty?)Music: Dancing Cat  Are you ignoring me, Mr Hyde? I was walking behind you for ages. I tried calling out to you several times, but you wouldn't even turn around! Sorry, my mind was elsewhere.(Looks like you're not as alert as you used to be, Kyle. Maybe there was some truth in what Rex said, after all.)Yeah, that's what the thread also thought.  So, have you found a new place to live yet? Haven't even started looking.You're taking it very easy for someone who'll be out on the streets shortly. How about you, when do you plan on moving out?I'm all set to go on Friday.I'll be here for Christmas though! After all, I wouldn't want to miss Santa now, would I?If I moved away before that, how would he know where to deliver all my presents? Are you kidding me? Wait, who? He what?I know, isn't it great! He even said he'd get me the Bella Regina handbag I've been dreaming about! Bella Regina? That a person or something?Come on, Mr Hyde, everyone knows Bella Regina! It's the brand that's taking the world by storm.Clothes, handbags, that brand has everything a girl could want!Including food?  The prices are a bit high, but it's all so gorgeous!And you seriously think Tony's gonna come through and get this for you? Sure. He keeps saying how he's going to be getting some serious cash any day now.Serious cash? Him?Is he talking about that attempt yesterday? I'm still not over that!  After seeing a movie last night, he asked me what I wanted for Christmas.I thought it would be rude not to accept his offer to get me something.Just say that all you want for Christmas is him. Oh wait, that song doesn't exist yet. I hope you know what you're getting yourself into, Betty. He set his sights on you. You shouldn't lead him on if you don't care about him. You don't have to worry about me, Mr Hyde... Somehow I really doubt that. Oh, did you hear the news? About the jewellery robbery that happened nearby?Yeah, I heard.It happened at a jewellers very near where I work.I couldn't believe it when I heard.Music stops (That reminds me, I wonder who that woman in the hat was...)  These are the same scenes from the intro. (Maybe she was paying a visit to one of the tenants here.)Music: Dancing Cat Hey, Betty, did you see a woman wearing a hat hanging around on Thursday night? She might have been visiting someone living here. Can't say I did, sorry. Never mind, then.Okay, see you later, Mr Hyde.Betty says goodbye and makes her way up the stairs. Music: Overstepped Memory  Before we do anything...  Let's buy a drink first! I'm buying Cool Pop this time because we might win the prize this time.   I open the bottle and glug the whole thing down. I drink this all the time, but it's just as tasty as ever. But this time it might come with a prize. This bottle cap... I put the winning bottle cap in my pocket.  We can give the prize to Sidney or Mags, but I'll hold onto it. For   Speak of the devil. Music: Blue Lady  Greetings, Mr Hyde!Good morning, Mrs Patrice. Have you been out?Yeah, just went for a short stroll. Really, is that so? I'm glad I caught you. I wanted to thank you again for settling your rent. It may not have been as prompt as desired, but at least I got the money in full. If only some of the others could follow your example and do the same.Tony probably could pay his rent if he didn't spend his money on gambling, movies, or stuff for a friend that's not interested in him.  Ms Rivet in 206, for example, She called to ask if I would wait a little longer...Is Marie typically called Ms Rivet instead of Mrs? I just noticed this.  And Mr Wolf, well, he's preformed his usual disappearing act.I mean, this is the busiest I've ever been since coming here,And having unreliable tenants is a burden I'd rather not have to bear.Yeah, I imagine it's a pain.It certainly is, Mr Hyde! Oh, by the way, there's something I have to mention.What is it?Before we vacate the building, we'll be cutting the power to rooms that aren't in use. The power to the hallway will be off too and I'd like you to refrain from going there.Why would you even put working power if no one is allowed to go there?  Mrs Patrice, can I ask you something?That depends. What's it about?Would it be possible to see the rooms up there before the power is cut off?And why would you want to do that, Mr Hyde?Do you have a valid reason?Not really, just wanted to satisfy my curiosity.There really is nothing of interest up there. It was never renovated like the other floors, so it's just as it used to be.I imagine that, by now, the rooms are literally covered in dust as well.Surely there's no reason why you need to go and see those rooms.Actually, I've been wanting to take a look around up there since moving in.When I heard we'd all be moving out, I just thought this would be my last chance. I know it must sound strange, but I'd really like to take a look around.Would you make an exception, just this once? I'm sorry, Mr Hyde. That area is off-limits for a reason. It's in a state of disrepair and if an accident were to befall you, I'd be responsible.Don't cause any unnecessary trouble for me. I have enough to deal with as it is.Yes, of course you do.In fact, I'd be grateful if you could avoid mentioning this again.The fourth floor is strictly off-limits to tenants. That's one of the reasons the fire door was installed.Again, why put power there in the first place?  The new owners were quite clear about their wishes.(New owners?)  Personally, I find it ridiculous. Why would you want to see those rooms at all?Okay, point taken.  It would have been far more practical to have converted them along with the rest.(Why didn't you convert them?) Music: Gusty Town  Show $5  Your rent is already paid up, Mr Hyde.Show winning bottle cap  Take a look at this.*Takes a look* I see. You received a winning bottle cap from the vending machine.Congratulations! Here is your prize. This is our reward for buying drinks. I'll get more into this later. I understand that it's a newly-released handheld game of some sort.Show Pinkie Rabbit Land  I hear this game is rather popular at the moment. I hope you enjoy it.

Shes also really bad at hiding it. "The building is getting demolished, but we're doing maintenance to clean up the building before we leave. Also the new owner wants the fourth floor left as is." "Nothing happened here, ever. Please ignore that I've sealed off a floor and no one is allowed up there"

Music: Gusty TownWhat kind of person bought the place?What kind of person is the new owner?Without divulging any particulars, let me tell you this.They weren't only interested in the building, but in the land as well.Can you tell me who bought it?For obvious reasons, I can't reveal the person's name.But why are you so keen to know about them, Mr Hyde?I've been thinking about the whole thing.Why is it so important to you?The new owner asked you to leave the fourth floor as it is... But if they're only going to tear the place down anyway... Well, something didn't fell right about that, so I was curious.I see.It may be strange, but it's entirely up to them what they do with their property.Why was the fourth floor not converted?Why was the fourth floor not converted? After my husband passed away, I was left to fend for myself.I had to use all the money that had been left to me to buy this place.There simply wasn't enough to convert each and every room.If the truth be known, times were very tough here at the beginning.I apologise for taking up so much of your time with our chat, Mr Hyde.I'll be on my way now.Mags returns to her room. (Hmm... So the fourth floor is just as it was 13 years ago.)Mr Hyde...   Music: Ace of Diamonds  Can I ask you something?You'd better not be wasting my time. You want to see what's up on the fourth floor, right? I can show you... But you've got to promise me you won't breathe a word of it to Mrs Patrice.Were you eavesdropping just now?I wasn't eavesdropping, I just happened to overhear your conversation. Anyway, if you really want to take a look around up on the fourth floor...I can open the fire door for you and let you in. On one condition though...Other than not telling it to Mrs Patrice? That makes it two conditions, you know. What's the catch?I want to hear about that guy.Could you be a little more specific?  (And I thought I was the curious type.)I'm not an information service, you know. Why do you want to know about him?Why?Because I'm curious, that's all!He's been snooping round here for two or three days now. He even asked me for some information about a second-floor resident...Dylan! I thought I warned you to steer clear of him. He's bad news.Dylan just wanted to hear about some leads or secret tip-offs. Kyle, however, is tired of them after receiving too many (based on the novel). But, Mr Hyde, if he's such bad news, why did you speak with him in the lobby last night?(How did he...)So you were listening in then, too.No, I was just in the right place at the right time.I was coming down the stairs and heard voices in the lobby.That makes 3 now. He really gets around, doesn't he? So you managed to discover that he's an insurance investigator then.What if I did?And you also figured out that he's been targeting a woman living here.Maybe.You don't have to cover it up. I know what's going on. It's Marie from 206 that's who he's after! Don't press ... Looks like I'm out of luck. I thought you'd at least share a little info on Marie.So you were fishing for information! Ah, you got me.I was on to you from the beginning. If you think I can be sweet-talked into giving up information, think again!Easy to see why you were a detective.Dylan, just drop it! But Mr Hyde...What could you possibly want with this kind of information?We've been taught the hard way that sometimes the best action is to let it slide. However, let's press, just to see what happens!  Dylan, look... Suppose you overheard that too? Suppose you overheard that too? Yeah, kind of.Do you think this is some kind of game?I thought so!Looks like I was right on the money this time! Stop jumping to conclusions!Take it easy, there's no need to get worked up or anything.I'm getting a little tired of your bull, Dylan.Speaking to you is just a waste of my time and energy.That's a little strong, Mr Hyde.I'm outta here.So we move away... Music: Insomnia (Last Window) (Hang on. What was up with Dylan just now?)So that guy's been after Marie from room 206! I'm right, aren't I? You can tell me. (Why is Dylan so interested in Marie?)We can't actually leave now since we do need his help, so we go back and talk to him again.  You got a moment? What can I do for you?Music: Gusty Town  Show bugging device Is that... Mr Hyde, why do you have a device like that in your pocket?Show entry slip I see you entered the prize draw too.Show winning bottle cap You should show that to Sidney or Mrs Patrice. They'll give you a prize for finding it.Show Pinkie Rabbit Land Is that a game about Pinkie Rabbit?Can't say I'm interested in cartoons, personally. Why are you so interested in Marie?All choices converge here. Why are you so interested in Marie anyway?Well...I wanted to make sure.You know, check if my assumptions were correct.And what exactly are your assumptions?For one, that Marie isn't the person everyone thinks she is.There's something you should know, Mr Hyde. I knew Marie before she moved in here.(How come?) That's why I'm curious about her activities.How did you know her before moving in here?How did you know her before moving in here?It's like this. When her husband was still alive... Seems she doesn't remember me at all though.That makes 4 instances where Dylan happened to be at the right place and time. How convenient!  My suspicions were raised even way back then. I had a strange feeling about her.What do you mean?You see, she and her husband had a really bad relationship. When I was fixing hte pipes, they were quarrelling almost all the time. Then six months later, her husband winds up dead. That's about the time the insurance company began looking into her.I'm almost afraid to say it, but I think that Marie may have had her husband murdered to claim the insurance money! That's a very bold claim.So that's what you've been thinking about.Yeah.You seem to be the kind of guy who likes to unravel mysteries. Do I?That explained why you were excited when you discovered I was a detective. Then when you got wind of Marie's husband dying, you jumped to the conclusion that she must have murdered him in order to claim the insurance money.It's true. I loved this kind of thing. Is this supposed to be criticism at people playing this game?! If you come with me, Mr Hyde... I'll let you take a look around the fourth floor.If you're serious about wanting to check out those rooms,Meet me up there at 4 this afternoon. Okay, I've got things to do. (That guy has some serious problems, but I don't want to miss this chance.)(Gotta get myself up to the fourth floor by 4.)*beeping sound* It's my pager. Meanwhile, have some descriptions. Music: Overstepped Memory   We get this winning cap the first time we buy a Cool Pop at the beginning of each chapter (buying it at the middle or end won't work). The game is going to force us to do it later, so this cap isn't missable.  We can examine this slip right now, but it just shows the number which can be clearly seen here.  We also can play Pinkie Rabbit Land right now.  It's a minigame!   The game is very simple, really. Just go up to grab the carrot and back down to get points while avoiding everything the ninjas throw. Those can be pliers, hammer, baseball, or shuriken.  Get hit 3 times and the game is over. This has absolutely no reward whatsoever, but it's a nice addition nonetheless. 1234567890num fucked around with this message at 15:32 on Nov 24, 2018 |

Music: Heating Up Phone Time to call Rachel... And then we go to the minigame where we press play. It's exactly the same as the one we did in the first chapter.  "If you wish to accept my order, then respond in kind." Who is this guy?"Put a penny in the envelope,and leave it in the mailbox for room 404. When I receive your response, I will send further information about the item and the client." ... (So now I'm supposed to reply to that order sheet? Who sent the drat thing anyway? I've really gotta figure that out.)You would've figured it out faster if you weren't sidetracked by stalkers and murders  *pager beeps* There goes my pager again. *Kyle calls Rachel*  Music :Serenity  Rachel, it's me. Something up? I got some additional info on Rex Foster that I thought you'd like to hear. I also uncovered something about Hotel Cape West. Good work. What's the dirt on Rex? I've made some calls and it seems his reputation precedes him. He's definitely freelance. Plus, I found out he's contracted on a commission basis.Commission basis?Yes. Seems he makes all his money doing this kind of work. The rumours about him getting brought in to investigate insurance claims, and the insurers ending up not having to issue payout to the policy holders are also true. Guess the insurance companies must love the guy then.F rom their point of view, he represents a very valuable commodity. Paying him for his services costs them far less than settling the policy payouts.That makes sense.Hey, Kyle... Is Rex after someone in the building?Seems to be.Do you know anything about them?  Marie? So it's a woman he's after.Yeah, a 30-something widow who moved here about half a year ago.So, are you close to her?Not really, I've hardly even spoken to her until now. I did have a chat with her about Rex Foster though. Him hanging around all the time has really put her on the edge.Seems strange you're having these kinds of discussions with people you hardly know.Trust me, I never planned on getting involved, it just kind of happened.Guess you know what you're doing. Can't say I'd trust her though.Right. Okay, tell me what you dug up about Hotel Cape West. Hotel Cape West was constructed in 1950 and eventually closed down 13 years ago, in 1967. The owner of the hotel at the time was a guy called Michael McGrath. Then, on the final day before the hotel closed down, a party was held by the owner. It was during this party that something terrible happened. Somebody was murdered.You know, Rachel's purpose is mostly just to give Kyle plot-critical information. She's still great , though, especially when dunking on Kyle. What do you know about the murder? Her body was discovered in a room on the fourth floor. Seems the cause of death was put down to cyanide poisoning.  (Peter Rivet? That's the same surname as Marie!)Perhaps the most interesting part of all this is that the case was never solved,And the murderer never caught. That's all I have on it for now.Did you find any dirt on anything that happened 25 years ago?25 years ago?Yeah, that mysterious order sheet I received read: "Item: Locate the Scarlet Star, which disappeared at Hotel Cape West 25 years ago."No, I didn't find anything on that, but I'll start searching. I'll let you know as soon as something pops up.I'll be waiting.*Rachel hangs up* (So the murder 13 years ago took place on the fourth floor of this building, and the person who discovered the body was an employee of the hotel.)(Sounds too convenient, but could it have been Marie's late husband?) (Something Dylan said has got me thinking, too. Maybe Marie is hiding something. If she is, I need to know exactly what it is.)Music: Heating Up Music: Overstepped Memory  That means it's time to talk to Marie again. She's gotten very relevant lately, haven't she? I think she has at least 5 times more screentime than Charles by this point. Knock  I think I know something about the bugging device we discussed. Probably a good idea if we talked about it. Of course. Please, come in. Before we talk to her, let's take a look at our notebook since a bunch of characters have been added. Music: Sobering Dream  This one is added after the chat in Mags' room. Which means that her husband will be important.    I don't know how Kyle could've known what these people look like since he never met them.   Descriptions are actually updated after confrontations in this game, unlike Hotel Dusk. Also, here's another  Audience ParticipationThe question is: How can we get the penny? And how can we actually grab it? Here's a few hints:

Music: Resolution  I told you the second confrontation will be earlier than you'd think. I found out that the device you spotted is part of Rex's handiwork. Just as I suspected!To make matters worse, this wasn't the only one he'd planted. There was another device in Lucky's Café, near the seat you usually sit at. Oh my... Why would he do something like that? What possible reason could he have?Marie...I need you to be absolutely honest with me.If you can think of a reason why he'd be after you, you have to let me know.Just what are you implying, Mr Hyde, that I'm some sort of liar?I just need to be sure. Do you have any idea? Can you think why he'd target you like this?I don't know why you insist on asking me the same thing over and over. I have no idea!I'm asking because I want you to tell me the truth.Mr Hyde...  Wh-who...I think you're hiding something, Marie, and I think it's time you came clean.I had an interesting chat with Rex last night.You were talking with...him?Yeah.I tried to get him to stop pestering you and leave.Did you succeed?Not quite, but he told me some really interesting bits of information. Actually, he warned me about getting tied up in your business.What on earth did he mean by that? Fr-fraud?So tell me, did you know that he works as an insurance claims investigator?Mr Hyde, I... I...And if you did know, why the hell didn't you mention it earlier?It would've saved a lot of time and trouble!To be fair, you're immediately told about Rex by Rachel after Marie's request, so it's not like it would make that much of a difference. Marie.Is there any truth in what Rex told me? Well, is there? Marie? Look me in the eyes! Look me in the eyes! Dammit, look me in the eyes when I'm speaking to you!Nr Hyde, please, tell me what that awful man said to you.Let me be clear. I don't trust the guy and sure as hell don't believe his story entirely. But I need to get a better idea of the facts from your perspective. I need to know more about when your husband and brother died.Mr Hyde, please. Rex told me all about you, Marie. He told me how, 13 years ago, after your brother died in the accident, you became the sole beneficiary of the insurance policy payout.Seems the insurance company started getting suspicious from that point. Marie. Is Rex making this all up? Is Rex making this all up?Of course he is! Do you mean to say that you'd take his version of events over mine, Mr Hyde?He is employed by those companies purely to discredit claims and void payments! I can just imagine all the horrible things he's saying about me! I'm not like that! Music: Sharpened Blade   Are you trying to commit insurance fraud?Are you trying to commit insurance fraud?Why would I even consider doing that? Is that the kind of person you think I am?Marie... Again, who do we trust? The stalker that have a perfect track record or the tenant whom we're trying to get information out of? Well, no, but... Well, no, but...If you don't start giving me absolute facts, what choice will I be left with?Naturally, I want you to believe me, Mr Hyde. What could be so difficult for you?What could be so difficult for you?If I tell you, will you hear me out?I wouldn't ask if I had no intention of listening. If there's something you've been holding back, now's the right time to let me know.There is something...As I suspected. Time to talk. Yes, you're right. Half a year ago, after Peter had lost his life and the police called me...Naturally, I cried and cried, but deep down...A part of me felt like I had been released. The only rational explanation was that I was feeling pleased to be apart from Peter.This already happened 13 years ago?This already happened 13 years ago?13 years ago, Mike Porter, died in a car accident.The brakes in his car failed and he plunged off a cliff.After he died, I was truly alone. He was the closest person I had to a parent.The only other person who took care of me like he did was Peter. On the morning of Mike's funeral, Peter gave me an envelope he'd got from Mike.Inside, I found details of an insurance premium Mike had taken out prior to his death. I was the sole beneficiary of this, but it was a small comfort for losing my brother.Peter told me that Mike wanted nothing more than for me to be happy and secure, and had made provisions that would enable me to live alone without having to worry. I see.The company that held Mike's policy began to pay out the premium, but before long they stopped making the payments.Despite the police investigation concluding that his death was accidental, the insurance company believed otherwise and began their own investigation.Mr Hyde, can you imagine the hardships I had to endure to claim Mike's money? To claim what was rightfully mine?Did they send someone to keep tabs on you then, too?Yes, they did. But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't find any proof that the car crash was anything other than an accident. Eventually, I received the entire payment. During that trying time, it was only Mike's friend, Peter, who stood by me. And after the insurance had been paid out in full, Peter and I got married.So that's how it happened.I want nothing more than to forget that terrible time. I can assure you, Mr Hyde, fraud is something I would never, ever consider. You have to believe me! Don't listen to that rat, Rex Foster!Marie... You have to make me believe You have to make me believe.It just doesn't add up. How could two people close to you die in near-identical ways? Moreover, they both left you substantial sums of money.But that's how it happened! They were both victims of similar accidents and both cared for me enough to take out insurance policies that would ensure my security. They loved me and didn't want me to suffer, even after they had gone.Just like my brother, Peter also took out his policy without telling me. Pretty much the same question as before. How did you find out about Peter's policy?How did you find out about Peter's policy?It was after Peter died and I moved in here. I was going through his stuff and came across the policy information documents.When I read the details, it all became clear and I froze.Peter had done exactly what Mike had done before him and taken out a policy in secret.  Music: Deep Distrust Mr Hyde.After Mike died 13 years ago... I was left to fend for myself. That is, until Peter started looking after me. We wed after the insurance money from Mike's policy was paid out.But I was still unsettled. Did he really love me, or did he have another motive for marrying me?After all, I had just been awarded a very substantial amount of money.It was on my mind all the time, from the moment we moved in together until he died.After we got married, Peter began to use Mike's money to fund a business venture. At first, it went well, but...As time went on, things took a turn for the worst.We started arguing about money a lot of the time. Each time we had an argument, I felt myself drifting away from him one step at a time.If I'd known from the start that he'd had his eye on the money Mike left me,I would have distanced myself from him more. It would have been an easy decision. I would have realised that this was not the kind of person I needed in my life.Music stops  He was gone.The brakes failed while he was driving and his car plunged off a cliff. It was virtually identical to what befell my brother, Mike.They had one thing in common. They both decided to take out secret insurance policies. And they both named me as the person to receive the money in the event of their deaths. That's why I'm being investigated for fraud.I've told them time and time again... I've done absolutely nothing wrong!So you say.Music: Deep Distrust I've still got one more thing I want to ask you, Marie.It's about the incident that happened in the hotel 13 years ago. Why did you pretend you didn't know about it when we spoke yesterday?Especially seeing as your own husband, Peter Rivet,Was the one who discovered the body of the murdered individual.Mr Hyde! It's true, he was the person who discovered the body on the fourth floor. They discovered the body together.I'm sorry I lied to you about this yesterday, Mr Hyde...I just wasn't ready to talk about this subject.So what happened?After discovering the body, Mike wasn't the same. He began to act...strangely.The next thing I knew, he had died in a car accident.I strongly believe that, had he never made that discovery, he'd still be alive today.Mr Hyde?Now you know pretty much all there is to know about my past.Please don't make me go through it all again.Marie... I'm tougher than I look.(Why do I have the feeling I've heard that somewhere before?)(Right. It was after Dad died and we had moved to New York. My mom said exactly the same thing to me.)Try not to spend too much time thinking about it.Remember, we've only got a few more days in this building. If you find you need to get anything off your chest, give me a call.You'll listen to what I have to say?Yeah, sure. If you need to talk to someone.Mr Hyde...Marie, I know this is tough, but can I ask you one more thing? Did either Peter or Mike ever have a conversation with you that mentioned..."Scarlet Star"?Scarlet Star?Well, they mentioned the word Star, I think.I see.If I recall correctly, it was while they were working. I distinctly remember that word being mentioned. My brother and husband used the word, along with others working in the hotel.Do you remember what kind of meaning it had? What kind of party was it?Sorry, but that's something I can't help you with.That's all I can remember.Okay, no problem.Anyway, I've got to go. Of course.*Kyle exits the room* Music stops  (Also, the word "Star", that was used by hotel staff then, has some significance. Maybe that mysterious order sheet comes from someone connected to the hotel, too.)(I can't figure out who sent it yet, but I can send back a response.)I reach into the envelope and take out the piece of paper inside.   (Right. To reply, I'm gonna need a penny.)(Don't have one on me, though... I'd better head back to my room and see what I can dig out.)There's another hint: Everything we need to get the penny (including the penny itself) are inside Kyle's room. Music: Resolution  Now let's see what happens if we're being a jerk. Quit with the crying act! Quit the crying act! D-do you think I'm a liar, Mr Hyde? I thought I'd earned your trust. How can you believe what that man says over me?I don't, but if you want me on your side, you've got to start talking, now!Loop and skip.  I don't think you're telling me the truth I don't think you're telling me the truth! If you tell me the whole story, maybe I will. I'll ask you again...Mr Hyde...Music: Sharpened Blade Show bugging device Someone had left that in the café?Show Pinkie Rabbit Land I used to love Pinkie Rabbit when I was a little girl.Show Pager or Pinkie Rabbit Land during confrontation Mr Hyde, would you stop getting distracted? I thought you watned to talk to me.As far as I know, Rex doesn't have any unique response for during the confrontation. Are you trying to commit insurance fraud? Actually, yes Actually, yes. I just can't believe you would trust him over me. Of all the people here, I thought you'd be on my side.Marie, listen.Kyle didn't say anything after that. Okay then.  This already happened 13 years ago? I simply don't believe your story  I simply don't believe your story. Rex seems convinced that the car accident was the result of someone's tampering. He even suspects you might have played a part in it. Well, did you?So it's true, you believe him and his twisted views on this.I really don't know what to say.Music: Joke's On You You're horrible, Mr Hyde, all you do is doubt everything I say!I want nothing more to do with you!Wha-? Please leave, Mr Hyde! I have nothing more to say to you!Come on, be reasonable.Marie insists I leave and practically throws me out. drat! Looks like that didn't exactly go according to plan. I couldn't get Marie to talk. Maybe I need to work on my questioning technique...Music: Dream's End   Tony: 3 Mags: 1 Dylan: 1 Rex: 1 Marie: 1 This Game Over happens if we pick either of the choices in the questioning phase incorrectly. On an unrelated note, try to figure out where the penny is and how to get it. All the needed items are within Kyle's room.

The ruler to poke it out of wherever it's wedged?? I have no idea. Pacing of this game is way different than the first. I've sort of been waiting for Violet Sky to play after these confrontations but so far they've all ended pretty ambiguously.

Right now we need a penny, so let's see what can we do.tomanton posted:The ruler to poke it out of wherever it's wedged?? I have no idea. The ruler, huh? Music: Heating Up   Ruler Maybe I can use this ruler... Kyle's actually picking it up. That's a good sign. Now where would the penny be? DariusLikewise posted:There has to be a penny in the Pinkie Rabbit Bank, hard to say how to open it without seeing Kyle do a 360 examination of it. I'm glad someone remembers Pinkie Bank    Use small ruler on Pinkie Bank I sure hope this works.  This one is a little finicky. Our goal is to bring the coins onto the ruler so we can slide it out.  Like so. We only need to get the penny, but more coins can't hurt.   Pretty sure I've got all the coins out.    I love how Kyle hesitate mentioning Pinkie Bank, even in his own notes. And the "or something" part of Pinkie Rabbit Land's description. Combine empty envelope with penny   Music: Overstepped Memory  Now all we have to do is deposit it. Music: Hidden Proof  Right mailboxes Well, here they are, the mailboxes for the fourth floor. I need to place the envelope in the one for room 404.Use envelope with coin on right mailboxes The slots on the mailboxes have been sealed shut with tape. (I need to put the response into this mailbox.) First, we have to tap an end multiple times to loosen it up.  We can do this on either the left or the right.  After that, we just pull the loose end. (Right, that's that sorted. Now to sit it out and wait for a reply to arrive about the Scarlet Star and the reward.)Music stops   Hotel Cape West closed down 13 years ago and there was a party before the closure, during which time a murder took place. That staff at the hotel had a secret code, Star, that they used. What connection can this all have to the order sheet?  Music: Heating Up Music: Overstepped Memory Music: Sorrowful Nightfall  Say what you will about Dylan, at least he's not a late person. Music stops Dylan!Hello Mr Hyde, I've been waiting for you.Well I'm here now. Let's get this show on the road.You're on your own I'm afraid.I'm not going in. You'll have to go on your own.I thought we agreed you'd show me around in there?That's what you said earlier.No, I never said that. Maybe you weren't listening to me. That's true, Kyle Music: Ace of Diamonds So you'll let me in.Yeah, I said I'd tell you how to get through the fire door.Got it.And if you know how to get through the door without setting off the alarm, you'll never have to deal with Mrs Patrice getting upset if you go in there.You know, unless she found out somehow. Nice to my ears.The first thing you need to do is disable the alarm. It's really simple, all you need to do is turn off the switches on the control panel.Sounds simple enough, and I've used the panel before.That's the one we need to use two fingers or the frame advance trick. Right, I nearly forgot about that. Let's move on to the next part.You'll need to disable another panel before you can get the door open.There's another one?There's a lever in a box to the right of the door. If this is turned off, you'll be able to open the door.Do you follow?Yeah, think I've got it.  So make sure you don't get stuck in there, becasue you won't be able to get back out!I thought you were supposed to take care of everything in this building. Shouldn't the knob be included? Great.There's a toolbox next to the door. If you look inside it you'll find a doorstop.Once you've got the door open, I recommend using that to prevent it closing on you. That should be all you need to avoid getting trapped in there.I can see multiple ways this can go horribly wrong. I'll make a point of remembering it.I'll be in the hallway of the floor below making sure that nobody tries to come up here.Good plan.Then, once 30 minutes have passed, I'll come and get you.I'll reset the lever you disabled afterwards and re-activate the alarm.One last thing, try not to make any noise while you're in there. It just draws attention. You wouldn't want Mrs Patrice to come looking for you!You got that right!Okay, I'll leave you to it.Dylan makes his way towards the stairs and disappears out of sight.  Um... What did Dylan said again? I forgot. Oh well, let's just open the door. What' the worst that could happen? Knob The fourth floor is cordoned off by a fire door. Music: Alarm   There goes the alarm!Oops...  I'd better stop that thing and quick!*footsteps* Music stops (thankfully)    Mr Hyde! What are you playing at?Didn't I ask you not to make any loud noises? Yeah, sorry about that. Wasn't paying attention to what I was doing.If Mrs Patrice comes up here to look around, we're gonna be in serious trouble.Yeah, yeah, so you keep saying.*footsteps again*  Mrs Patrice!Music: Joke's On You What are you both doing here?Told you she'd hear us.  Hey, quit making that racket!Frank, too? Hey, excuse me! How long do I have to put up with this terrible noise?drat, now Betty?(This is not gonna end well... I should've been more careful.)Would someone explain to me what all this noise is about? Well, it's...er...Mr Hyde?Me?So this was your handiwork, was it?  Mr Hyde, didn't I make myself perfectly clear before? It seems you chose to snoop around, despite my wishes!Well, I...Get your things and leave at once!Just after we pay the rent!?  Music: Dream's End (To be fair, Dylan did warn me that this could happen. How could I be so careless...)   drat... With everyone worked up like this, there's no way I can investigate the Scarlet Star.Not because you're just kicked out of the building? Tony: 3 Mags: 2 Dylan: 1 Rex: 1 Marie: 1 I'm blaming Mags because, well, we asked her nicely. It's her fault for being so suspicious I read that this Game Over can also be caused by a screwdriver, but I have no idea how to get it. There's one in Kyle's room, but he won't grab it.

Music: Sorrowful Nightfall  Now let's actually do what Dylan says. We don't want people coming up here, after all. Control panel The switch for the alarm is in the "on" position.(I'd better remember to disable this before trying the door.) Well, the alarm won't ring anymore, but the door won't actually open yet.   Alarm This must be the other control panel Dylan was on about. Let's see here...What we have to do now is...  The cover just came off! This is the tricky one. One possible solution I read is to use the screwdriver on it. The screwdriver will slowly unscrew the last bolt and we have to hold the glass so it doesn't fall off and cause a Game Over. Unfortunately, I can't pick up the screwdriver. Kyle won't leave this floor. Which is why I have to use another technique.  The technique is similar to the one I used for the control panel. Stopping time (pausing the emulator) and then moving very fast (frame advance). On an actual DS we can use two fingers instead.  Now the fire door should open.Let's check it out. Knob  (So this is the fourth floor. Seems what I heard was right. It's still just like a hotel up here.)(Okay, time to have a look around.)New Music: Creeping Shadow  The music is certainly...different than normal. But we must investigate this floor, so off we go.   Music: Joke's On You Crap, that's not good!Great, now I'm trapped in here.Oh, right. I forgot the door handle doesn't work from inside.  (Wait a minute! Dylan said he'd come and get me after 30 minutes.)(So I can just hang back until then and he'll open the door.)*time passes* (Where in the hell is he? Guess I'm not going anywhere.)I wait, trapped behind the fourth floor fire door in the unrenovated hallway. Dammit, it's definitely been more than 30 minutes!Maybe Dylan just thought he'd leave me here to rot. If I ever get out of here, he'd better pray I don't find him...Music: Dream's End (Wish I'd paid a bit more attention to Dylan about keeping that door open.)   drat. What the hell am I gonna do if nobody opens that door?I'm stuck here on the fourth floor. Outstanding. Tony: 3 Mags: 2 Dylan: 2 Rex: 1 Marie: 1 I'm blaming Dylan because he's the one who didn't come on time. It could also be Kyle being impatient and turns out it has just been 3 minutes. Music: Sorrowful Nightfall  Now let's actually do what Dylan told us to. Doorstop There's a wooden doorstop inside the toolbox. Well, there's the doorstop Dylan told me about.  After that, we enter the room. Instead of pressing on, we turn back to the door. Music: Creeping Shadow  Knock I suspect no one's coming. You don't say?  Use doorstop on the gap I place the doorstop underneath the fire door.  Now we're finally able to investigate the fourth floor. We might actually get more buzz puns!  Knock Nothing. This is like a bad knock knock joke, and I'm the punchline. Buzz Why did these doors need buzzers when this place was a hotel anyway? Knob (What? It's not opening. Looks like the door's locked.) Buzz No way anyone's gonna come to the door. It's im-buzz-able. Knob (It won't open. Looks like this door is locked too.)Knob (again) Turning the locked doorknob is unlikely to be the way I get into this room.  Knock I'm certain nobody's listening. It doesn't matter how much I knock. Buzz If I stand here too long, the buzzards will start circling. Knob (This one won't open either. It's locked good and proper.) Buzz No response. What a buzzkill. Knob (Not my day. This one's locked too.)(Knowing my luck, the whole floor is locked up tight.)I sure hope risking 2 Game Overs to come to this floor doesn't go to waste.  Knock I don't hear any footsteps. I'm probably better off not waiting too long for an answer. Buzz Nothing. Well, the fourth floor ain't exactly buzzing. (No luck with this one either.)(Are there any rooms left that I haven't checked?)Just one left, actually.  Plate 4...0...4. This must be room 404. Knock I might as well be knocking on the wall for all the good it's doing. Buzz This is all just a lot of buzz over nothing. Knob (Huh?)(This room seems to be unlocked.) (There's a distinctly moist smell in here. So the hotel rooms have been left like this for all these years...)We can actually do something here! Before we do that, though, let's see the updated profiles after Marie's confrontation. Music: Sobering Dream     Our map is also changed, now with the 4th floor included. No wonder this hotel went out of business; they numbered the rooms to gently caress with the guests, after all!

Music: Creeping Shadow Let's investigate this room, considering that this is the only one we have access to right now.  Back sofa The striped pattern on this sofa is looking pretty faded. Table It's a coffee table with rounded edges. Front sofa I can barely even tell which parts of this armchair are dirt and which are stripes. (All the dust doesn't help.)Sink There's a wash basin in the corner of the room. There are cupboards underneath it, but I can't open them. They're broken. Mirror My face is hidden behind all the dirt on this mirror...and I think it might be an improvement.   Tissue holder Guess I need to supply my own toilet paper. Toilet It doesn't matter how much class the wooden seat adds, I'm not going near it. Faucet I try to turn the taps on, but they're rusted in place. (Not like I need to run a bath up here anyway.)Bathtub The bathtub is mouldy. I'm glad I'm spending my day checking out mouldy bathtubs. This reminds me of the video posted during the Hotel Dusk LP about dirty motel rooms. This part of the game brings back those memories. Thanks for that.    Left chair An abandoned chair. Why haven't they sold this stuff in a yard sale or something?  Table A table by the window. It would probably have been nice to sit here back in the day. Now it's just covered in these mysterious dark stains. (I hope I won't catch anything from being in here.)Right chair It's a chair. There sure is a lot of furniture going unused up here. Don't think I'll sit down. I'd only get dust all over myself. Left curtains Ugh, it smells like the curtains aren't the only thing hanging in here.  Right curtains I don't need to poke my nose into the curtains. They have enough holes already.   Curtains The curtains are a delightful shade of lavender and mouldy green. Newspapers Some large bundles of old newspapers are stacked up in the corner. (Some parts look too damaged to read. They're really old newspapers.)Chair I'll avoid sitting on this chair. I'm not convinced it'll still hold a grown man's weight. Table The desk in this room is relatively small. It's also discoloured and a little bit unstable. Lamp There's a small lamp on the edge of the desk. Papers Some pieces of paper are scattered around on the desk.  Handprints There are visible handprints on the desk and on some of the papers. (Someone must have been searching around here. Other than myself, I mean.)Papers These are all sheets of Hotel Cape West's headed writing paper. Top paper What's this? I can just about make out a star symbol underneath the layer of dust. It's also got Hotel Cape West written on it. What kind of card is this? I can't make out the letters clearly enough. Tapping it will just result in... I've never seen so much dust in one place before...So we'll have to get rid of the dust another way. Let's try blowing it.  This message exists literally to waste your time for 1 second. It won't appear if we stop blowing after a short while, but we're finished soon after this so it's no big deal.  This is kinda similar to the part in Hotel Dusk where you have to read an engraving on a pen using a chalk/flour, but we have to tap instead of blow there.  "We would like to thank you for your patronage at Hotel Cape West over the years and, in an attempt to show our gratitude, hereby invite you to attend a final party to mark the official closure. If you are able to afford the time, we look forward to your attendance on December 10th, 1967. Hotel Cape West Manager Michael McGrath" So it's a party invitation from 13 years ago.(The party on the night of December 10th, 1967 that left Kathy, the wife of the manager, dead.) Music: Ace of Diamonds Mr Hyde!We're almost out of time. You should come out soon.Oh. Dylan actually came to pick us up. That backs up the theory that Kyle's just impatient and thought it had been 30 minutes even though it hadn't. Time's up already? Just about.The longer you stay in there, the more likely we are to get caught by Mrs Patrice. You'd better come out right away.Yeah, I get the message.(That's too bad, but better cut my losses for now.)*they both exit back to the stairs* Music stops  Did you find anything good in there?Unfortunately not. Just a load of rooms filled with dust.Not exacty the result you were hoping for.(If I tell him everything I did up there, this chat could go on for ages.)Not really. You just tried every door and grabbed a card from the only unlocked door after blowing the dust off it. That's not much. Before I forget, even though you know how to get into the fourth floor now,Try not to go up there when there are people around.You don't want to get found out by the other tenants, especially Mrs Patrice!Makes sense.Okay, I have to go now.Dylan says his piece and leaves. (He's got a point. Last thing I need is people prying into my business. Think I'll hold back for a bit before making a return trip.)We're coming back here before this chapter is done.  Music: Sorrowful Nightfall Music: Overstepped Memory Going down the stairs...  I can hear some raised voices coming from further down the hallway. Hmm, what's going on here? Looks like Tony and Frank are having a bit of a disagreement about something.This should be interesting. Music: Shadowy Men   I'm telling you, I don't know what the hell you're going on about! Just admit it, you halfwit! Hey... I'm getting a déjà vu here. Spill it! What did you do? Spill it! What did you do? That's right, own up! Hyde, what are you implying?That face you just gave me was as guilty as they come.You'd better come clean now. It'll save us all a lot of time and trouble. You too? Why does everyone always blame me? I'm sick of it!Music: Joke's On You  So that's how it is, is it? You think I'm a lazy bum just like they do! That's it, isn't it!Tony...Don't you dare do what I think you're about to do!  Knowing everyone thinks that way about you really hurts, man! It hurts a lot!I thought you were different, Hyde! The exact same thing happened. I can even use the same GIF as before!  Kyle actually says "Agh!" here instead of "Ugh!"  Ahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahhahaahhahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahahhahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahafuckyou  Music: Dream's End  (Can't believe he hit me!)  Maybe I should've given Tony the benefit of the doubt and listened to what he had to say.Tony: 4 Mags: 2 Dylan: 2 Rex: 1 Marie: 1

Hobgoblin2099 posted:I don't know whether to find it genuinely hilarious or idiotic that they had the exact same game over twice. Am I a bad person for wondering what Tony offers to us in the game that pissing him off enough to no longer mooch off us or get in our way is not considered something to do to advance in the game? I can understand like the 'eternal moocher' type, but why is it game over to get him pissed off at you when that seems like it'd be actually helpful at a lot of points to get him to stay out of your way when he doesn't advance your progress at all? Or doing a puzzle to get him annoyed enough tstay out of your way so you can accopmlish things seems like a better use of him?

I can't remember Tony's deal beyond one part down the line that I have a vague recollection of. So I wouldn't be able to tell you! I remembered him being as cool as Louie. Clearly my memory was wrong.

One would think a 'keep this perenially annoying guy out of your way that's kind of the mascot of the building' might lend itself to small puzzles of having to figure out how to deal with him without being too antagonistic. At this point in the game so far whether or not he's done what someone is upset with him for you'd think him actually slugging you in the face is a good thing (pending like him punching you to the point you hve to get hospitalized) given he's not exactly interfering in anything you're doing. Much less instant game over (with the same sprite used). Or that just me? Ah well, makes for some intresting stuff!

So is Dylan the sidekick for this one? Better than Tony I guess. I miss Louie
