20 is underage for drinking in America, not sex (that's age 18), so unless they are referring to alcohol, I think you are mistaken. Although, Kyle Hyde is much older than Mila (he's 34), so it is creepy either way.

Happy new year! Sorry for not posting for a while, I'm on a vacation without my laptop. Next update will probably in 1-2 weeks.Glaive17 posted:20 is underage for drinking in America, not sex (that's age 18), so unless they are referring to alcohol, I think you are mistaken. Although, Kyle Hyde is much older than Mila (he's 34), so it is creepy either way. Oh, that's right. My bad. In my defense, the way they talk about it (which I'm doing a favor by not showing) implies that she's underage for sex. Louie's the one who wants her and he's younger than Kyle, so it's not THAT creepy at least. If you guys are curious, I can add it later. 1234567890num fucked around with this message at 04:42 on Jan 1, 2018 |

I'm seriously hoping for a banner for the GAME OVER SCOREBOARD. It's not a contest since that would imply a prize for the winner and I don't have any prizes. Preferably before the alternate timelines of Chapter 3.

Music: Same as previous updates (Sapu) This update will be a lot shorter than last time.  We've already seen what happens when we try to ask the first two questions. Show crowbar, screwdriver, pliers, memo, or small red box  Hey! That's... Where'd ya get that?Music: Drunken Waltz Oh, now I get it. Yer the one! Huh? Things have gone missin' 'round the hotel lately, and now I know why!You been stealin' 'em! Knew there was somethin' fishy about ya! Pack yer things and get out before I toss ya out! Huh?Music: Dream's End (That's not what I intended. He wasn't supposed to react this way...)   ...drat. GAME OVER SCOREBOARD Louie: 4 Rosa: 3 Dunning: 3 Melissa: 1 Iris: 1 Martin: 1 Everyone Else: 0 Dunning is blocking the door to the left hallway. We have to ask the third question ONLY.    In the first part of the interrogations, there will be some press chances which have 3 results: 1. Don't press. It will give some dialogue not worth showing and then loop back to the chance. 2. Press and pick the right choice. It will give some dialogue and advance the interrogation. I showed it off in the original timeline. 3. Press and pick the wrong choice. It will give some dialogue and a red aura before looping back. This is what I'm going to show in the alternate timeline updates (like this one.) C'mon, Louie. Why not?  Why not? Yes, that aura is more red than usual. There's going to be many this update.  What, you're my shrink now? I told ya to get out, capeesh? Not gonna happen. We gotta chat, Louie. You hear me?Talk away, man. I ain't gotta listen.I'm going to keep asking until you start talking.Loop. I'll just skip to the next press chance for now and the all the next.   You surprised? That shouldn't be a surprise.  I ain't that surprised. N-no, man, I... I don't know. I don't know anything.Clamming up won't help.Loop and skip.   What's impossible? What's impossible? Don't worry about it.I'm gonna ask once more.Loop and skip.  In the second part of the interrogation, there will be questions with choices with 2 results: 1. Pick the correct choice. The questioning continues. 2. Pick the incorrect choice. This will immediately end that particular line of questioning. Who killed Danny?  It was you! Confess! It was you, wasn't it?  You think I did it? You suspect me? Accuse me like that? No way, man! No way I'd do somethin' like that!Who stole the money?  It was you! Confess! Was it you?  If I had that kinda bread, you think I'd be workin' here?I'm a dope, but not stupid. That's the kinda thing gets a man killed. Little did they know that Louie had taken the money and is going to kill Denny shortly after the end of the movie. I'm sorry. It's just too easy to make jokes about that movie...  Why'd you leave the city?  You stole the cash! It's 'cause you stole all that money, right? You're way wrong.New Music: Countdown  Officer Hyde.What?You ain't built for this, man. Huh?You got no idea what's goin' on. No way I'm talkin' to you 'bout any of this.Matter of fact, I never want to see your face again! Get out.What?New Music: Sunset Men I went back to Room 215.  How'd I screw this up? You're an idiot, Hyde. You've lost it.Things going the way they are? You'll never catch Bradley. Better to just give up. Spend the rest of your life as a half-assed salesman...Hyde gave up and spent the rest of the night brooding in his room... GAME OVER SCOREBOARD Louie: 5 Rosa: 3 Dunning: 3 Melissa: 1 Iris: 1 Martin: 1 Everyone Else: 0 As for how all those red auras cause the game over, I don't exactly know how. I experimented in 2 scenarios: all wrong in the first part and all right in the first part. Both give the same result: 1. Answering the 'Who stole the money?' question incorrectly won't give a game over. 2. Answering the other two questions incorrectly will cause a game over no matter what. I don't know what the first part affects. Probably it reduces the leeway for answering incorrectly? The result in this particular one is exactly the same, so I don't really know.  Anyway, the rest of the chapter is exactly the same as before.  Next time: Chapter 3.

One more thing I forgot: do the earlier red auras make confrontations for that character harder down the line?

tomanton posted:One more thing I forgot: do the earlier red auras make confrontations for that character harder down the line? I don't think so. The only red auras relevant for a confrontation/interrogation are the ones gotten from that particular interrogation. The other ones mostly serve as a warning that you're going to get a game over (even if in most cases it's already too late).

 Music: Monochrome  We have literally nothing to do, so... *insert phone ringing sound here    Phone The phone's ringing. Music: Serenity   What now? Hey, sweetie. Who's Bradley? ...What? After you got off the phone with Ed, I heard him talking to himself. Well, muttering is more like it. He said something about giving up the search for Bradley. C'mon, Kyle. Who's Bradley? You're curious, huh?  Really curious, aren't you?Yes, I'm curious! You should have heard the crap Ed said about this guy! Look, I won't push you. But when you feel like talking, I'm ready to listen.Right.Hey, is Ed there? Put him on, will you? Sorry sweetie, but he just stepped out.Figures. Will do. Take care.   Music: Monochrome Well, there's nothing to do in this room. So let's just get out first.  (Ah, screw it. I'm hungry. Guess I'll head down to that five-star restaurant and see what they've got.)After we go down the stairs...   Two people who's not a hotel staff! Do you notice that beside that brief talk with Helen, all of chapter 2 is with the 3 hotel staffs? Music: Slow Steps    Look at me when I'm speaking to you, young lady! Why would you do that while we're eating? But- But nothing! Dad-Don't "Dad" me! I've had it up to HERE with your back talk! For once, could you just do as you're told and be quiet? I'm so tired of this, and I don't want to hear any more excuses! Go back to the room. I'll be up in a few minutes....Dad. Dad... I... Hey. Everything OK? What's going on? Nuthin'... You got quite a set of pipes there.Yeah, I'm loud. So? You gonna yell at me, too?Melissa turns and runs up the stairs.  Melissa?Music: Easy Feeling Hey.Yes?Looks like a rough job. Raising kids, I mean. Hold it... Nothing to apologize for. Don't be sorry. Kids need to be kept in line, right? Well, yes, but... I'd rather not be seen scolding my daughter in public.It happens. What's your name? Oh, that's right. We haven't... This is a bit after the fact, but let me introduce myself. I'm Kevin Woodward. I'm a surgeon at Robbins Memorial Hospital in Santa Monica. Kyle Hyde. I'm a salesman for Red Crown.Kyle Hyde?Yeah. Kyle Hyde... Now what? What is it? You got a problem?No, no! It's nothing. I just thought I'd heard your name before. That's all.(??? He knows my name? ???)  Have we perhaps met before?Nope. First time. Of course it is. Of course...I'm sure my memory's just playing tricks on me. Please forgive me.By the way, Mr. Hyde...It seems you've spoken with my daughter Melissa on previous occasions. Would you mind telling me what sort of conversations you had? I don't follow. What do you mean?I was just hoping she hadn't bored you or...told you anything...um...Just spit it out, will you, pal?Well...specifically, I was wondering if you talked about her mother.(??? About her mother? ???) If you didn't talk about anything in particular, that's fine, too.Music: Rainy Night  Read note May I ask what you're looking at?Write note May I ask what you're writing?Show pager Wearing pager means you never really leave work. I can relate...Show room 215 key I'm glad you know where your key is. I'm in 219, which they've named "Bravery."Show hotel brochure I got one of those as well. Not much to look at, is it?Show crowbar I don't know why you pulled that crowbar out, but you should put it away.Show men's magazine I'd appreciate it if you kept that kind of trash away from my daughter.Show cash I don't really need money, but thanks.Show others Do I need to see that? I... I don't think so. No...Why are you asking about her mom? Why are you asking about her mother?Well, if Melissa didn't mention anything, then it's nothing to worry about.She told me her mom can't come home. Is that what this is about? So she brought it up after all...Yeah.She also said that you're taking her to see her mom.This supposed to be a secret?...Oh, no, nothing like that. ...Yes? It's just what? You going to finish a sentence for once?Please, every family has its own situation, its own... difficulties. Melissa's just a child. Don't put too much stock in what she says.Someone has my name? You know somebody with my name?No, I think one of my patients may have had a similar name, but...I'm sure my memory's just playing tricks on me. Yes, that must be it... After all, we just met for the first time, yes?Music: Easy Feeling I'm sorry for rambling. If you'll excuse me?Kevin leaves. Music: Monochrome  We can enter the restaurant now, but...  the contents of this blackboard completely changed! It used to say that it's closed. For comparison:  Also, the closed sign on the door is gone now. We can't examine the door itself anymore. OK, let's get in now. New Music: Over Easy  Just one step into the restaurant... Music: Easy Feeling   Welcome to the Moonlight Grill.I like the "sir." That's a nice touch.C'mon, brother, don't hassle me! I'm just doin' my job.You the host for this restaurant, too?I told ya! Dunning's a total slave driver. Sun goes down and I gotta run this place and the bar, too.(??? Where's the bar? ???) Anyway, we got a table ready. Tonight's special is a big steak with some kinda weird garlic butter.I could go for a steak.The grub any good here?Better'n ya'd think? Rosa's an old windbag, but she knows which end of the spoon to use.All right, I'll take the steak. And some spuds and eggs, too. Hash brown potatoes, eggs sunny-side up.drat! Sounds good, man! I'm hungry.Oh, wait! I gotta ask before I forget again. Anything wrong with your room?Wrong?Ya know? Lights don't work or the water's messed up or rats or whatever?Nope. Everything's aces.Kyle, you haven't even tried the water yet. And the rats may be hiding under your bed right now. Cool. Good to hear.Some of the rooms on the second floor are messed up, ya know? Hey. Six months? You've had rooms out of commission for the past six months?Yeah, they're all messed up. Total holes. 'Course, Dunning won't fix 'em. Says it's a waste'a dough. Guy's like Scrooge, only fatter and meaner.Which rooms?Let's see...217, 220, and 218.(Three rooms that aren't being used, huh? Better write that down in the ol' notebook. I can't remember crap.)Again, we don't actually have to memorize/write it down. Kyle will remind us when it's relevant. Music: Rainy Night  Read note What're ya lookin' at?Write note What're ya writin'?

Music: Rainy Night Where's the bar?  So where's the bar?Straight down the hall, my man. Look for the Seven Stars sign. Bar opens at nine.Wanna grab a drink with me later?Depends. You got any decent bourbon?Yeah, booze is one thing Dunning don't skimp on. That bar, my man, is well stocked.Got a whole buncha Kentucky gentlemen to introduce ya to!Sounds good.Hell yeah it does! I ain't had a decent drinkin' buddy in forever, man!Room 217 isn't being used? So room 217's on the fritz?Yeah. Ain't been touched in six months or so.Really? (Six months, huh?)(Seems like a long time to let a room sit there...)What's goin' down?I know that room. That's where the guy with my name stayed.No way, man! How'd ya find that out?I looked at the guest register. Ya did? How?I broke into Dunning's office. ...Aw, man. Ya gotta be pullin' my chain. Ya broke into the office?!Why'd you go and do a thing like that?I think the guy with my name was Bradley. Get outta here!It's a hunch, but I think I'm right.Look, man... Even if you're right? Ya can't just go runnin' around the hotel like your rear end is on fire! Chasin' clues is one thing, but this is crazy! You ain't a cop no more! Ya can't be pickin' locks and breakin' doors and all that! If Dunning finds out, he's gonna totally trip out.Yeah, about that... C'mon, man! You need to know anything 'bout what happens here, just ask me. You hear me, brother?I hear you.All right, I got something for you. Get me into Room 217.Huh?I want to poke around in there. Poke around? That special cop lingo?Yeah, all right, man. I'll see what I can do.Dunning keeps all the room keys locked up, so I gotta wait for the right time. But don't worry! There's one thing I know, it's boostin' stuff from old people.Do it.Music: Easy Feeling Restaurant's in the back, around the corner. One of the center tables is open. Go ahead and sit there.Right.Music: Over Easy We can now explore the restaurant hallway.  And we can enter the kitchen from this side. Music: Monochrome    You'll have to leave. Come on, get out! Go on now!All right.Music: Over Easy Let's see where else we can go...  The door to the bar is locked.  So let's talk to Iris, who's blocking the restaurant. Music: Slow Steps (What's the princess want now?) Hey. What is it? What's wrong? Oh, Mr. Hyde! You... you scared me.What're you daydreaming about? You never heard me coming, did you? Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah? You seem upset. What's wrong?Tell me, Mr. Hyde... Have you ever been hated by someone?Once or twice. Why?I can't BELIEVE what she said to me! (??? Who said she hated you? ???) Music: Rainy Night  Read note  What are you looking at?Write note What are you writing?Show crowbar  Is that a crowbar? I should have expected that from you.Show men's magazine  Are you implying something, Mr. Hyde?Who said she hated you? Someone tell you they didn't like you? It was such a shock... It's that awful child's fault. I doubt I'll ever recover.(??? Awful child? ???) An awful child, huh? What are you talking about? Just what I said! It's all that girl's fault!Did you see a young girl on your way here? You mean Melissa? A young girl? You mean Melissa?Is that her name? Melissa?Yeah.What'd this young girl do to you?I merely spoke to her! That's all I did, you must believe me! And do you know what she did? She threw her rag doll at me and ran off!(??? She threw her rag doll? Why? ???) At least it's not a puzzle piece you literally just finished for her. She threw her doll? So why'd he throw a doll at you? I'm sure I have no idea! Probably raised by wolves or hippies or the like... But I swear to you, I did NOTHING to provoke the little hellion. She had an adorable handmade doll, and I just asked her who made it.That's it?Yes, that's it!I didn't say anything that could be construed as rude or mean.  Never, huh? Yeah... neither choice will get us on her good side. You're nuts. What're you talking about?Pardon?Stop lying to yourself, lady. ...Lying to myself?Never been an adult that some kid didn't hate. Music: Slow Steps Mr. Hyde?I find you to be an ill-tempered brute!Iris finishes yapping and storms off. ...Maybe now I can finally get some grub. Music: Over Easy We enter the restaurant.   We'll examine the restaurant later. Food comes first! I sit down at a table in the middle of the restaurant.  (I haven't had dinner this early in a long while.)Sorry to keep you waiting. Busy busy, you know? Music: Hangover Blues  And you also ordered hash browns and eggs sunny-side up, right?  This steak was seared with salt, pepper, and my own homemade garlic butter. Smells delicious, doesn't it? It sure does!Yeah. Enjoy!Rosa places my dinner on the table and walks away. Music: Over Easy There's a huge plate on the table. It's filled with chow. It all looks delicious.    Are you finished? Huh?Music: Hangover Blues I'll take your plate now if that's all right. Is it? I'm sure it is! Well look at that! You joined the Clean Plate Club! Not a crumb left! Thanks, Rosa. That was delicious.Well, isn't that nice to hear?! It does my heart good to see a man eat!Oh, and this dessert is from Mr. Smith. It's his way of apologizing for the mix-up with your package. It's another house specialty. Tea chiffon cake!We can actually see the rib-eye garlic steak and tea chiffon cake on the blackboard from the last update. Sounds great.Take your time, no need to rush! Enjoy your food!Rosa leaves the cake on the table and walks away. Music: Over Easy  That's quite the cake... Mr. Hyde? ...Huh?Music: Easy Feeling

Music: Easy Feeling He should've had one since he also got the wrong package. Even if he wanted the cake, it's kinda late for that.  I'm sorry to interrupt your meal, but may I have a moment of your time?...Sure, why not. I'm too full to run away. Er...yes, quite. Actually, it's about the package mix-up we had earlier. I was curious as to whether or not there was something else inside the box. Something other than the notebook, that is.Something else?Yes, something that you may have overlooked. Something small?(??? Like what? ???) It's possible it fell into the box during transport. It was supposed to have been placed within the pages of the notebook.(??? What was written in there? ???) Mr. Hyde, would you mind searching that box for me one last time?Music: Rainy Night  Read note What are you looking at?Write note What are you writing?Show order sheet I saw that in the parcel you received and I apologized, sir. Now please put it away.Show crowbar Put away that crude iron bludgeon before you break something!Show men's magazine Why, I do believe that I have a subscription to that particular publication.Show cash There's no need to wave your money at me, sir!Never thought Martin was the type to like those kind of magazines. What am I looking for? Something small? Like what?A bookmark.(??? A bookmark? ???) What was in that notebook, anyway? So what was written in that notebook? I saw the title on the front. The Secret Word, wasn't it? Is it a book or a manuscript or something like that? Mr. Hyde, did you see fit to read the contents of my notebook? Just looked at the cover. I'm not much of a reader. I just looked at the cover....I see. That is for the best.(What's this guy so worried about?)What kind of bookmark? What kind of bookmark?It's quite small, and it has a picture of an angel on it.Sounds lovely. Yes, it is quite lovely.It is a blue bookmark with a ribbon. Please do remember to look for it, Mr. Hyde.Music: Easy Feeling My bookmark is in your hands, my good man! Excuse me.Sure.Summer leaves. (Can't forget that bookmark. Grief from the talking blimp's one thing I don't need. I'll just drop a line in my notebook so I don't forget.)Kyle, it's rude to refer to anyone that way. Unless you're talking about Hilda Berg. Music: Hangover Blues  There's someone yelling behind me. Huh? It was fantastic, Rosa. Best meal I've had in ages.That's so nice to hear. Many thanks.By the way...The man who was just here is the guest in Room 211, right? Mr. Summer?Yeah. He seems so familiar... I think he's a writer. He's some kind of writer. What? A writer? I think that's a typo. At least there's not too much of them in this game.  Hold it! Martin Summer... Martin Summer... Oh, I'm such a fool! How could I have not realized? It's so obvious!What're you talking about?I saw his name on the register and recognized it, of course, but... ...Hey. You know this guy? What do you mean, THE Martin Summer? It really IS him! Now I'm sure of it!Martin Summer is staying here! THE Martin Summer! Oh, this is exciting!I'm such a fan!(??? She's a big fan, huh? ???) I still can't believe I didn't recognize him! I just assumed it was a guest with the same name.(??? Hey, that's remind me... ???)  I tell you, I'm a world-class fool! Such a fool!Music: Rainy Night  Read note What are you looking at?Write note What are you writing?You a fan of Summer? So. You're a Summer fan, eh?Oh, I'm not crazy or anything, but yes. I enjoy his books.So what kinda writer is Summer, anyway?Well, his first book came out about ten years ago and won some major awards. Publishers were very excited. They called him "the maestro of mysteries." Oh yeah. The Secret Word? Secret Word, huh?Yes, that's right. That was the title of his debut novel.(...The Secret Word? I know I've heard that name before.)(Wait. That's what was written on the cover of Summer's notebook.)It was a very thrilling story.(??? What was it about? ???)  That's it!...What?I must get his autograph!What about the guy with my name? There was a guest a while back who had the same name as me, right?The same name as you?About six months ago? Six months ago?No, not that I remember. Nope, nope. Nothing.I can't recall another guest by the name of Kyle Hyde.Really?What's the book about? So what's The Secret Word about?It's about a man who commits the perfect crime! He does so to get revenge on a friend who betrayed him! Critics called it a gritty descent into the darkness of the human soul. It's really quite shocking. Oh, listen to me! Rosa the book reviewer!Revenge on a friend, huh? Hell of an idea.You're kinda in the same situation, Kyle. Maybe you can commit a perfect crime to get his attention? Music: Hangover Blues Oh, what am I thinking? I don't have time to stand here gabbing with you!I've got to go. Busy busy!Rosa finishes talking and scurries away. Music: Over Easy (Map) Music: Straight Chaser (Examination)  Let's finally examine this restaurant.   Bottle That's a bottle of wine. Sign There's a little sign on the table. It says Reserved. Table The table's been wiped clean. Back chair It's a wooden chair. I bet it'll give me splinters if I sit on it. Front chair A wooden chair. Nothing special about it.    Center and right window Yeah, there's nothing very interesting outside. Left window Can't see much out of this window. I don't think it's been cleaned in years. Back chair Just your average wooden chair. All the tables have 'em. Table Tablecloth is nice and clean. Not a stain to be seen. Dishes There are still some dishes on the table. Front chair It's a wooden chair. Nothing interesting about it. Doll There's something on the chair.  Zoomed-in chair It's a wooden chair. Looks uncomfortable. Zoomed-in doll Huh? This is... So this is it? This is the doll Iris was talking about?(Melissa must've forgotten it. Guess I'll run it up to her later. Might as well jot it down in my notebook so I don't forget.)There's no special response if you take the doll before talking to Martin or Rosa and show it to them.    Each frame has its own response from Kyle. I'll list it from left to right. Piano A piano, huh? Wonder if Dunning tickles the ivories. Bench There's a small bench in front of the piano. Too bad I don't play. Frame 1 This photo must be older than Helen. Frame 2 Looks like a photo of people who stayed here before. Frame 3 Looks like they're having a good meal. Frame 4 A newspaper article on the hotel. Nothing useful here. Frame 5 This photo is old and hard to see. Frame 6 Looks like this was taken at the hotel's grand opening. Frame 7 It looks like a photo, but it's really a painting. That's actually kind of clever. Speakers Those speakers are huge. Amp That's quite the amp. Sticker There's a sticker on the piano.  Remember this?  After one whole chapter of not finding any, we have found the 5th star!  The final one won't be available until the bar opens.With nothing else to do, we head out.  I just wanted to point out that the paintings from the map can be seen clearly on the first person view. Each of them are unique pictures, too. Too bad you can't just turn around without moving so this is the best angle I can show.  Sometimes first person person view can be useful, since we can see who's there from far away!  (It's Mila... What's she doing?)

They're talking about how Rosa questioning screen about the Secret Word/it was his first book or whatever help I'm not actually looking at the screenshots was posted there twice, when the first one should have been something else.

 Let's talk to Louie first. Music: Easy Feeling What's going on with her?She wanted to come in and give Rosa a hand in the kitchen, yeah?But Rosa said she'd just be in the way. Crazy ol' Rosa...Anyway, I was just trin' to get her to go back down to Rosa's room. Now let's talk to Mila. Music: Secrets Hey, you got a minute? ...And if you're wondering why we're talking to them from far away, that's because this conversation will happen automatically when we get near either of them. We can't leave the restaurant without triggering this conversation since Mila is blocking the door. Music stops (no, I have no idea why there's no music here)   And I know ol' Mama Sass feels the same way. But she's like really busy right now. Aw, don't look at me like that. You're breakin' my heart, baby!C'mon, go on back to Rosa's room and hang out for a bit. Please?(Nods)Mila leaves the room.  Let's talk to Louie again now. Music: Easy Feeling ...Did Mila actually say anything?Naw, man, not a peep.(Maybe she can't speak after all...)Ya think she can't talk, or she just don't wanna? I can't tell, man. Whole thing blows my mind.Who knows?She's a fox either way, though, am I right? Awoooooooo! This isn't that bad, certainly better than the one I skipped. Anyway, we can go out of the restaurant now.   What's she looking at?Music: Monochrome  Music: Secrets Hey. What're you looking at? Were you staring at the painting?(Nods)I don't get art.What's so special about this one? It's not that I don't like paintings... I just don't get it.Music: Hangover Blues So this is where you wandered off to! I knew I'd find you somewhere! Someone is squawking a storm behind me.  What's wrong, Mila? Don't look so sad, honey.Listen, Rosa is really happy that you want to help! I truly am! It's just that there's nothing for you to do at the moment. You see?I'm used to doing everything around here by myself! No one helps old Rosa! So when someone actually wants to help, I have no idea how to use them. You're a good girl, Mila. Now do me a favor and go back to my room and rest.Rosa leads Mila away. Music: Monochrome One day, we'll get a conversation where Mila didn't just nod to whatever we said. With nothing to do, we try to go up the stairs.   It's Helen.Music: Slow Steps  Hello there, Mr. Hyde. Have you already eaten?Yeah.And how is the restaurant fare? I do hope it's tasty!Kyle won't know the restaurant fare since Dunning gave him free food. And dessert. Which he's afraid are going to be stolen. Yeah, it's pretty good. ...Which shocked me.Truly? Well, that certainly is good news! By the way, Mr. Hyde, I have a bit of a favor to ask of you. Can you spare a moment for this poor old woman?...What?I was wondering if you wouldn't mind escorting me to the restaurant.I had some trouble with my legs recently, and I don't wish to fall on the way.Uh... I don't mean to impose, but I don't know who else to ask.She can call Dunning to escort you? I think she's just asking whoever she meet first, which happens to be Kyle.  Well...maybe... Listen, I-Good! It's settled then. I'll just take your arm...Music: Monochrome  There's now going to be another character (Helen) following us around. Music: Over Easy  Louie is nowhere to be found. Also, we can examine the podium now. Music: Straight Chaser   Lamp Just a lamp. Yep...another cruddy lamp. Podium It's a podium. They must use it as a reception desk for the restaurant. Sticker There's a sticker on the podium.   Did you spot the podium sticker on the previous picture of Louie and Mila? Only one more sticker to go! That and we still need to find some coins. After we arrive in front of the restaurant... Music stops (again, don't ask me why)  Thank you, young man! You're an angel! I think I'll be all right now.Music: Slow Steps You were such a help, Mr. Hyde. Thank you so much.You're a true gentleman!No, he's not. He hasn't solved any puzzle yet! He will later. Don't get me confused with somebody else. I just helped out on a whim.Is that so? Well, either way, I'm grateful for the company. As you get on in years, you'll learn to appreciate simple acts of kindness.I know that I do.Fascinating.Mr. Hyde? I'm afraid I have another favor to ask you. That sounds... uncomfortable. ...Seeing you?A bit of awkward phrasing perhaps, but nothing to worry about, young man! I have a feeling you're the sort of fellow with whom I could enjoy a nice drink. If the idea appeals, I'd like the opportunity to buy you a glass of spirits.Oh.  What do you say? A free drink? I'm in! A drink, huh?Sure. I never turn down a free belt.Ah, such honesty. That's very refreshing, Mr. Hyde.There's a bar next to the restaurant called Seven Stars. That work for you?Nicely, I'm sure. I'll be on my way then, Mr. Hyde.Helen goes into the restaurant. Music: Over Easy  We don't need to, but we can follow Helen into the restaurant and talk to her. Music: Slow Steps You done eating?Not yet. At my age, even simple tasks can take a while.With nothing to do, we try to head out. Music stops (what is it with no BGM today?) Yo, Hyde! I hear someone behind me. ...Wonder who that could be...  No, I was just escorting someone to the restaurant.Escortin'? What ya talkin' about?The old lady from 212. Her name's Helen. She asked me to help her down here. Check you out! Kyle Hyde, savior of the elderly!Shut your head, Louie. I just did your job for you.Right. Thanks for the solid.Music: Easy Feeling Hey, check this, Hyde!Boosted this up off the floor of the restaurant. It was right under your table, man. It's your pen, right? I mean, it was under your table and all.  Nope. Not mine.Really? Figured it had to be yours, man. That's harsh. Wonder who it belongs to...Look here. There are words carved into the body of the pen. Oh, hey! You're right, my man! But it's worn down and all the ink's gone. I can't read it.I can't either.Louis! Louis DeNonno! I need your help right now! Get in here! Chop chop! Great. Mama Sass is on my case again. Better go see what she wants now.Good thinking.Louie runs off toward the kitchen. (...Hmm. Wonder how I can read this engraving...)Another "environmental puzzle"! Can YOU figure out what we need to use? In the meantime, here's some more descriptions. Music: So Noted

Fare can refer to food as well as money. As stated by Merriam-Webster; Definition of fare 1 a : the price charged to transport a person b : a paying passenger on a public conveyance 2 a : range of food : diet b : material provided for use, consumption, or enjoyment So the old lady was just asking how the food was, not how much it cost. (Which would have been the wrong use of the word anyway, if that had been what she was referring to.)

Nah, that'd be too easy. There needs to be more adventure game moon logic in it. Like grabbing a crowbar, prying the letters from the pen, and then holding it 45 degrees to the sun outside to cast a shadow on the ground. Something like that.

We now need to find a way to read the engraving on this pen. Let's see what's suggested by the thread: DariusLikewise posted:Can you wrap a piece of paper around the engraving and shade the pencil over it? The pencil is available in the suitcase, but the paper isn't available. Kyle won't use the memo since it could've been ripped, which it has in this timeline). Pyre of Word Salsa posted:Nah, that'd be too easy. There needs to be more adventure game moon logic in it. Like grabbing a crowbar, prying the letters from the pen, and then holding it 45 degrees to the sun outside to cast a shadow on the ground. We can't go outside. The door to the roof is locked and Kyle for some reason won't go through the front door. Also, it's dark, based on the restaurant window.  So let's ask Rosa if she can help us. Music: Hangover Blues I'm busy! If you need something, you'll have to come back later! Shoo! Um, maybe Louie can help? Music: Easy Feeling You come in here lookin' to chat and Rosa's gonna skin ya alive, brother! You're better off comin' back later. What the game expects us to do is to find some powder to fill the engraving and read it that way. We can find powder in this hotel in 2 places (as far as I know).  Music: Straight Chaser  Use pen on chalk There's a piece of chalk here. There's some chalk powder here, too.We can use the chalk powder in front of the restaurant or we can use something from the kitchen.   Use pen on flour I use the flour solution on my first playthrough. There's a busted bag with flour spilled around it. ...It's flour.Both solutions converge here. Here we go...  First, we rub the pen cover it with powder.   Then we just have to blow...  Huh? It didn't work? All the chalk dust just flew away. If at first you don't succeed...Or Huh? Well, that didn't work. All the flour just went flying. If at first you don't succeed...Well that didn't work. Also, no. Blowing softer won't work. So what he have to do is tap the powder to lightly brush it off. (I actually had trouble figuring out this part.)  "To Alan, with love."...Alan? Who's Alan?Maybe Louie knows.Music: Monochrome  Louie has mysteriously gone missing. Music: Over Easy  And he can be found here. What's the purpose of moving him? Who knows!  Music: Easy Feeling Hey, Louie. I read the writing on the pen.You did?So what's it say, man?To Alan, with love....Alan?Yeah.Anyone staying here tonight named Alan?I dunno. I'll have to check with old man Dunning. Do it. I want to find who owns this pen. Hold on to it for a bit, will you?Sure, man.Hey, Kyle, will you ask Louie to question Dunning about Jenny or December 5th? No? Okay. Music: Monochrome Oh, right, we have a doll to return.   Knock Music: Pink Rabbit  Got a sec, kid? My dad's not here.(??? Where'd her dad go? ???) I'm here to see you....What?You forgot something in the restaurant.Music: Rainy Night  Read note Whatcha looking at?Write note Whatcha writing?Show crowbar What's that thing?I'll show the doll later. Melissa sadly doesn't have any special response for showing the magazine, which Kevin explicitly told us not to. Where'd your dad go? Where'd your old man run off to?I dunno.I've been a brat. I'm sure he went somewhere so he didn't have to see me anymore. He hates me.I doubt that.Yeah, but he's always all mad at me and stuff.Parents have to keep their kids in line. It's part of the job.Part of the job?Don't worry about it.See you later.Wait! What did I forget?The last 2 lines only appears if we didn't show Melissa the doll. We can't exit the question screen until we do that. Show rag doll This is yours, right?Oh!It's OK. Take it. Th... Thank you.My mom made this.Must be pretty important to you.Uh-huh.Then maybe you shouldn't throw it at people.OK. Sorry.Music: Pink Rabbit See you around.What's wrong, kid?Don't...don't go. Please?Just stay here until my dad gets back....What? Listen, kid, I'm not a babysitter.C'mon. Pleeeease?Oh, fine... Music: Monochrome  We can't examine anything in the room yet, so let's talk to Melissa to see what we're going to do here. Music: Pink Rabbit I know! Let's do a puzzle! Pictured: Kyle voicing most player's thought The puzzle's on the table. Let's play over there!NOW we can Music: Monochrome (Map) Music: Straight Chaser (Examination)    Mirror The mirror's been cleaned. Rosa's work, no doubt. Bottles It's a bottle of shampoo. Sink Sink's clean. Towel Towels are clean. Bathtub I don't know how parents keep things clean, but this tub is spotless. Curtain There's a shower curtain around the tub. Tissue There's some toilet paper. Toilet Toilet's clean as a bean. What does that mean, anyway...?    TV The TV's been turned off. Fridge There's a little fridge under the TV. Maybe I'll raid it later. Brochure It's a hotel brochure. Same one I have. Cabinet Next to the refrigerator is a small cabinet.    Painting There's an oil painting on the wall. Bed I guess there's nothing special about this bed. Window I can see the road out the window. Lamp I see a couple of small lamps on either side of the bed. Table There are a couple of small tables on either side of the bed. Can There's an empty soda can on the table. Cup There's a cup on the table. Phone There's a phone next to the bed. Now Melissa can make prank calls.    Left chair There's a wooden chair. It's pretty boring. Frame There's a frame on the wall. Table It's a bookcase. ...No, wait. It's a table. My mistake. Right chair There's a wooden chair. How fun. Lamp That's a lamp. It's tall. And I'm the king of the obvious. Box It's a puzzle box.  Fine, let's do the puzzle.  The puzzle is exactly the same as before, just with all of the pieces removed instead of just 5.    Look how happy Kyle is to finish that puzzle. And I can't tell if Melissa's being serious or sarcastic (both are funny). That was too easy for you, wasn't it, mister?A little.Hey, squirt, you know the name of the rabbit on this puzzle?Um... Mister Rabbit? Nope.Bet you made that up.Yeah.Well, if you care, the rabbit's real name is Pinkie Rabbit....Pinkie Rabbit?That's right. Pinkie had his own cartoon when I was growing up. I bet your mom watched it when she was a kid, too.When my mom was a kid?Yeah, your mom and dad were kids once, too. Everybody starts out as a kid, you know?Yeah, I guess.My mom gave this to me for my birthday.Yeah? When's your birthday?June 29th.June, huh? So was your birthday fun?(Shakes head)What? What is it?That's the day my mom left, so...Oh.

I'm not sure why I enjoy games where you get deeper into people's lives like this. And I'm not sure there's a good explanation for a child Melissa's age for why her mother went away. At least nothing that'll make sense to her and be solid enough to be accepted.

Last time, we... Music: Straight Chaser Oh, right. Now we know why Melissa reacted so strongly if we mentioned her mother the first time we met her. (Wait a minute... On the back of that puzzle piece...) Not going to console the crying child right in front of you, Kyle? Okay then. This is one of the trickier minigame. The puzzle is now in the top screen (left in proper orientation/picture) so we can't do anything to it. Pushing buttons or touching the bottom/right screen won't do anything. So what do we have to do? Well, we want to see the writing on the back of the puzzle, which means we have to flip it. Since the top/left screen represents the puzzle, we have to flip it. Here's a hint: this is what a DS (the only platform this game is released in) looks like  If you think that you have to close the lid, you're right! This is one of the ways this game integrate unconventional DS control with the story and one of the reasons this game is amazing. Now, let's see the message behind the puzzle.  By the way, the piece found on the stairs was the one with the chimney, with the dash between good-bye. The shape and position matches up. That's a neat touch. Unlike that one Professor Layton game which the shape of the picture pieces in the puzzle and story is COMPLETELY different. (There's a message written on the back of the puzzle! "Good-bye, Melissa.")(If she wrote this, she wasn't planning on coming home.)(??? Why did Melissa's mom leave? ???) Note that while Kyle is thinking, Melissa is still crying on the other screen (which I have helpfully neglected to provide).  ...Huh? Mr. Hyde?What are you doing here?We were playing!I told you not to let anyone into our room!Hey, don't yell at the kid.Pardon me, but I've had quite enough of-I let myself in. She didn't do anything wrong.Music: Easy Feeling Sorry. Didn't mean to step on any toes.Well...as long as you know how I feel, I guess there's no problem... Now please leave.Yeah, I'm going, but... Let me ask you something.Music: Rainy Night  Read note What're you looking at?Write note What're you writing?His response for the magazine still doesn't change. There's no amusing dialog of Melissa asking Kevin what it is. Why did your wife leave? So why did the kid's mom leave?Pardon?Wife left you, right? L-left me?!What did you do? I mean, why'd she take off and leave you and the kid- Easy, pal. No need to get in a lather. Easy! Don't scare Melissa. Keep your voice down....What?I think you're scaring the kid....Dad....Melissa. Don't look at me like that. Music: Easy Feeling Mr. Hyde, I'm going to ask you to leave now. (Oh, right... I've got to track down that bookmark for Summer.) Music: Monochrome When we get to Room 215... (Guess I should check out the box Summer's notebook came in. See if a bookmark's there.)Music: Straight Chaser  Right box  It just occured to me that I never showed the spiral before every minigame. I just rectified that.  Now we have to find the bookmark in the box.  We can rotate the box using the arrows.  And we can shake the box by tapping it (unfortunately you can't really see it on the gif). As for how to exactly do that... well... I don't exactly know. Just imagine me tapping and rotating at random.  Eventually the bookmark will came out. We just have to tap it to zoom in.  Now we just have to take it.   This must be Summer's bookmark. There's a picture of an angel on it. (So this is the angel, huh? Guess I should take this back to Summer.)(??? I wonder who painted it. ???)<-- White Question Music: So Noted  I'll just show this now since we're going to be giving it away really soon. Music: Monochrome   Knock Music: Easy Feeling  Got a minute?Did you perchance happen to find my bookmark?Yeah.You did? Splendid!Music: Rainy Night  Read note What are you looking at?Write note What are you writing?Who painted the bookmark? Hey, there's a picture on the bookmark. You know who did it?Ah, you noticed! Breathtaking, isn't it?Yes, I'm quite fond of this particular piece.It's a reproduction of a very famous painting. Are you unfamiliar with it?The original was painted by a man named Osterzone.(??? ...Osterzone? ???) This work is considered to be the pinnacle of his artistic achievements. There are many rumors surrounding the painter known as Osterzone.In fact, I intend to use his life story as the basis for my next mystery novel! Yes, I think it should be quite good, actually...So who was Osterzone? What kind of painter was this Osterzone guy?Ah, now you come to the meat of it, for Osterzone was a true enigma! The mysteries of his life, much like those in his art, both entice and fascinate! We do know that he was a British painter from the late nineteenth century.And the angel painting you see on this bookmark is his true coup de grace! It's rumored to have been Osterzone's final work.As a landscape painter, he had never before attempted the human form. The painting on the bookmark is his only such piece. Tell me something, will you? Angel Opening a Door? Angel Opening a Door?That's the title of the painting?That is correct.Actually, it's his most popular and sought-after painting.I'm sure you must agree that it is a stunning work.(Osterzone, huh?)Music: Easy Feeling Mr. Hyde? Don't you have something for me?Music: Rainy Night Show bookmark Here's your bookmark. It was in the bottom of the box.Yes, this is it! Thank you very much, good sir! Thank you again!Music: Easy Feeling Mr. Hyde, are we finished?Music: Monochrome And we're kicked to the map screen. With nothing to do, we just move a little... Insert knocking sound here.   Sorry for the static. The file size is too large for that one. In case you can't read it, this is what Kyle says: I think it's coming from behind that door. Let's see who's knocking. Music stops   Um... Hey? Is somebody in there? Who's there?I'm...sniff...scared...  ...I'm so scared!! Hey! Squirt! What are you doing in there? You're in 219. This isn't your room!  Hey, squirt. You OK?And the conversation just end there. Knocking again just gives that same conversation. Poor Melissa...
