 What is this game? Hotel Dusk: Room 215 What is this game about? It's a mystery visual novel created by (now defunct) Cing for the DS. That's it? It is a mystery VN. Telling more would be spoilerish. Fine. So what are the rules about spoilers? NO SPOILERS AT ALL ARE ALLOWED, EVEN IN SPOILER TAGS! What about the sequel? I'm planning to LP the sequel, Last Window: The Secret of Cape West, whenever this LP is done, so Edit: I'm asking for help in getting the Game Overs in that game, so any explanations about it can be made in spoiler tags. Please don't spoil any plot twists, though. I heard that there are many game overs in this game? There are. I am going to do all the game overs in a chapter AFTER I finish the normal run in that chapter. I will make some exceptions though. I'm also doing the normal run in a completed file and the game over run in the new file. The story is mostly the same and I will be pointing out major differences between them. So how are you going to differentiate your commentary and the game's dialogue? Normal game dialogue will be in normal text. (Kyle's thoughts will be in brackets).

Music: Rainy Night As stated before, we're going from top to bottom. I'm waiting for a package.  There's supposed to be a package for me. A package for ya? Sorry, I don't see nothin'.It should be here. Maybe you an actually...look around or something? Ya send a package to a hotel when ya don't even have a reservation? Nice... Oh yeah? What problems?  What kind of problems?Is it anythin' that's gonna inconvenience my hotel?Depends on what you mean by "inconvenience"Had a bit'a trouble with a package for another young guy like you. Thing turned into a drat circus.(??? Really? What Happened? ???)  Buncha lousy... I'll have the bellhop look for yer package. If it shows, we'll bring it to yer room.What won't you talk about? So, you had a guest with my name?Yep. Called himself Kyle Hyde, too. As I remember it, he was about yer age.Blond fella, tall and thin. Looked kinda like a stork. (A tall, thin, blond man? Sounds like Bradley.)But I wouldn't mistake you for him. He was different.How so?Wearin' a nice suit, good shoes, the works. Looked like a somebody. I'll keep that in mind. So does Mr. Somebody stay here often?Naw, just the one time. It was 'bout...six months ago. Ain't seen him since.My room grants wishes? Fill me in on this whole wish-granting thing.It's a story I heard from folks that stayed in 215.Firse, there was a young girl. Then a middle-aged fella...Both of 'em looked beat down when they arrived. Like they had no future... But by next mornin', they'd been reborn. Their faces were just...peaceful, like. Well, I was surprised as a dog'n a tree, so I asked 'em what happened. And ya know what? They both told me the same thing. "Room 215 is magic. It granted m'wish. Everything's OK now." So that's why I said... Gotta love how Kyle looks so smug here. What's so funny? Good one, pops. Real nice. I didn't think an old-timer like ou would tell me fairy tales.Fairy tales?That's what ya think this is? Call it a fairy tale if ya want. It's a free country.What was the trouble? Talk about the trouble you mentioned earlier. What happened?That? Well, it was right 'bout three years ago. One'a the bellhops took a package up to a guest's room, right? And then...BANG! Buncha cops and detectives come stormin' in!(Detectives?)Seems m'guest was a crook! Part'a some big crime ring or somethin'. He was usin' my hotel as a drop-off for stolen goods. Whole thing was a drat mess! Gunshots in the hallway... Screamin' guests runnin' every which'a way... That's why the Dusk's got a strict policy: No crooks... AND NO COPS!Translation: do anything suspicious or caught investigating by Dunning and it's game over. Music: Hangover Blues That it?Yeah.Enjoy yer stay.And now we're back to the map. Walk a few steps and the door will open   (As I walk away from the front desk, I hear a voice behind me...)   I need a room for the night. (Just another guest.)New Music: Slow Steps Welcome to my own little slice'a heaven...Hotel Dusk!As luck would have it, we got vacancies. What kinda room ya lookin' for, darlin?Well now, aren't you just a sweet-talker? But there's a certain room I want.Which room's that? The one I saw in the newspaper article! I want that special room. The wishing room. This is the Hotel Dusk, is it not?Glad somebody bought the story.  'Course it is! And I know the room yer asking for!Unfortunately, ma'am, that room's... Oh, dear. Is it taken?That's right, and I'm drat sorry 'bout it! Uh, I mean... I'm real sorry, ma'am. Well, isn't that a shame!Ya want a different room? We got plenty, and they're all top'a-the-line!Yes, I... I suppose I'll make do with something else.And now they finish talking  Naturally, we should talk to her! Excuse me...Now, now, young man. I'm trying to check in to this nice hotel. Well that didn't go so well...  Maybe talking to Dunning will go better? Music: Hangover Blues Got a sec?Yer all checked in, ain't ya? I'm helping this other guest right now. Come back later, will ya?Fine, we'll go somewhere else. But before that... New Music: So Noted  Let's take a look at the menu! The time is the in-game time, as shown in the beginning of the last update. All of the options are self explanatory. Let's look at items first.     The pager and suitcase key has been there from the beginning of the game. Next up, characters!     The ??? only has the old lady's sprite so not worth looking at. Poor Rachel though, not having a last name.      The brochure Dunning gave us also has an incomplete map. Those greyed out areas are staff-only. Now that that's done, let's visit the lobby. Music: Monochrome (Map) Music: Straight Chaser (Examination)  The rest of this update are all flavor text, so if you don't care about that you can skip the rest. The music changes everytime you went to examination screen and the map so I'll just lump the music together.  Let's check the chairs first. They can't even bother to provide a sofa...    Left chair There are a couple of chairs in the corner of the room. Right chair Looks like someone picked these up at a garage sale. ...Or from the dump. Table There's a simple wooden table in front of the chairs.  Let's look at that vending machine with that AMAZING graphics.   Vending machine A vending machine. The bachelor's best friend. (Needs coins, huh?)StickerThere's a sticker on the side of the vending machine.   Note "get change at the front desk." -Join the Hunt!- Find the seven lucky numbers hidden in this hotel. Calculate the sum of the numbers, then input it into the machine for a prize! Get lucky for just 25 cents! So now we know what the stickers mean. We can't actually use the machine yet since we don't have any coins. The numbers are randomly generated every playthrough so you have to actually get all 7 every time. We'll just note it and move on.     Lamp I had a lamp just like this. It's worth about a buck-fifty. New. Cabinet Looks like the cabinet I owned when I still lived in the city.    Nothing interesting about the doors. You can examine the card, the knob, and knock the door but nothing will happen. I just put it so you guys know what the doors look like. And that's all in the lobby. We'll move on to the central hallway now.    The door to the restaurant is locked, obviously. We're still being railroaded.   Sign It's a neon sign advertising the hotel restaurant.  Zoomed-in sign Moonlight Grill. Not a half-bad name. Chalkboard There's a chalkboard near the restaurant entrance.  Zoomed-in chalkboard There's a message on the board. Moonlight Grill In preparation. Open at 6:00 Chalk There's some chalk lying at the bottom of the board.  Zoomed-in chalk It's some chalk.    Leftmost frame It's a framed line of poetry. ...It doesn't even rhyme. Painting There's a still life painting on the wall.  Zoomed-in painting It's a painting of a couple of apples and a bottle of wine. Cute.  It is not a couple of apples. A couple means only 2, but there are 3 apples in the painting.Sticker There's a sticker next to the frame.  Plant There's a decorative plant in the corner of the hall. Must be hiding a stain.  Fine. I suck at drawing, OK? Anyway, as we go north...  How can you not see the stairs? It's literally right there! But I can't help but feel that we're missing something...  There we go. Now let's just go upstairs...   And we'll talk to that kid next time! 1234567890num fucked around with this message at 08:27 on Dec 14, 2017 |

New Music: Pink Rabbit Hey. What?You're blocking the stairs, kid. Move it. (So this is how it's goint to be...) Move it, you brat! Move it, kid.  I'm not moving. And you're a big jerk.Where'd you come from? What's your name?Leave me alone! What was that, kid? Why won't you tell me? You won't tell me? That's what my mom taught me. She said I should never tell strangers my name. Especially jerks.Got an answer for everything, huh, kid? You keep this up and we're gonna have trouble. I'm not goint to put up with your crap.Ooooo, scary. What're you gonna do, huh?You want to know?Maybe I'll call Dunning and have him give you the bum's rush. Maybe I'll call your mom and tell her that her kid's a drat terror. Hey, kid. Ha! She's afraid of Mom! What now? You afraid of your mom? Great! Sometimes the portrait will break the monochrome style and have that 'aura'. If it happens, that means that you messed up and may/will get a game over.  Sniff... Hey, kid. We should back down for now to prevent a Game Over. Don't worry, we'll be a jerk later. C'mon, stop crying. Quit crying. You can't talk if you're bawling, right? C'mon, kid. Knock it off, will you? Why won't you move? If there's a good reason, just tell me. I... I can't finish it.Can't finish what?I can't finish my puzzle.(??? Puzzle? What puzzle? ???) Music: Rainy Night  Read note What're you looking at?Write note What're you writing?Show pager What's that?Show room 215 key Yeah, that's the key to your room and stuff.Show others Yeah, that's not mine.A puzzle, huh? New Music: Hitting the Pavement A puzzle? How's a puzzle stop you from moving? I... I can't finish it.It's almost done, but... Smooth, Kyle. This isn't the place to be working on a puzzle. Go to your room or the car or a freeway or something.My dad says I make too much noise. That's why I'm here.I was gonna go back to the room when I finished, but...I can't, OK?! There's some jokes to be made here, but I don't know which one to use: 1. What every gamer who ragequit says. 2. The Witness in a nutshell. Music: Pink Rabbit Oh, for the love of... Stop bawling! Hey. Fine, we'll help. Let me help. Give me a break, kid. A puzzle isn't something to bawl about. Look, just let me do it for you, OK?Whaaaaaaaaaa! Whaaaaa... Huh? Are you gonna help me, mister?The name's Kyle Hyde. If you're gonna talk to me, use my name.Mister Hyde?Close enough.Listen, just... Here. Give me the puzzle. Wow. What a stupidly hard puzzle. I'll leave you guys to figure out how to solve it yourselves.  There.Now take this and go back to your room.The kid shakes her head. What's wrong now?The puzzle's done. Everything's OK.No, it's not.It's not?Why not?It just isn't! It's no fun if I don't do it myself!   What are you doing? You're a complete basket case, you know that? At least say thanks for the help before you bust up the puzzle! Nice attitude, kid. You better watch your step! Huh?Pick it up. You threw 'em down, you pick 'em up. Again, smooth, Kyle. This one is justified, though. OK! OK! S-Sorry... But at least she picked up the puzzle pieces. I'm done, OK? You happy?Thrilled.I'm sorry. I'm so s-sorry... Wha... Whaaaaaaa! P-please don't hurt me!Fine, yeah, whatever.C'mon, kid. Enough of the waterworks already. Hey... Look, I didn't mean-Music stops   The girl laughs at me and runs up the stairs. drat it! I don't have time for this crap.Kyle:  (??? Who is that kid? ???)<--White Question Music: Pink Rabbit The girl dropped something on the stairs.  What's this?   Wonder what it is? And finally we're on the second floor. We'll try to look around... Music stops   Yeah... I accidentally screenshot the frame during Kyle's sprite change. That's why he looks like that.  Hey there. Hey, you OK? What's going on? Hm?You don't look so hot. What?You sick or something? N-no. No, I'm fine.All right. Sorry to bother you.Music: Slow Steps  Hold it. Yeah?Who are you?Me?Kyle Hyde. I'm down in 215.I'm Jeff. Jeff Angel. Stay here a lot?  No, I've never stayed in a place like this before. Really? No choice, huh? Why don't you have a choice? Something happen?What's that? Why am I staying here? I don't think I need to explain myself to you.Just asking.Just asking?Easy. It's not like I'm a cop or anything. You're not a cop?That's kind of an odd thing to just blurt out, isn't it?So...you're not a cop?That's too bad.(??? It's too bad I'm not a cop? ???) Music: Rainy Night  Read note What are you reading?Write note What are you writing?Show pager Yeah, that's a pager. So what?Show room 215 key That's the key to Room 215. My room is 213. It's called Trust. I know...stupid, right?Show hotel brochure That's a brochure for this dump.Show others Why are you showing that to me? I don't know a thing about it.And we'll ask the questions next time! Yeah, this is a LONG game. We're not even a third through the first chapter!

Music: Rainy Night Who's the kid on the stairs? The kid on the stairs. Where's she staying?Kid?Young girl, about ten. Rude as hell.Oh, her. You must be talking about Melissa.(Her name's Melissa?)She's in Room 219.I don't know this because I never stayed in a small hotel, but is it normal for the guests to know one another's room like this? She's staying with her father. Part of the great unwashed, if you ask me.It's too bad I'm not a cop? Why is that too bad? You lookin' for the law?Oh, no reason. Hey. Cool? What did you mean by "cool"? Take a look around. Better yet, take a sniff. This hotel... It's like the set of some cheap TV crime drama, don't you think?What if a real crime took place? Something sleazy and violent... And then if a real gumshoe was here trying to figure things out... C'mon! That would be cool! Even you must think so.That's an odd thing to think about.Yeah, I'm a pretty deep guy.Hey, take it easy. I'm not a criminal or anything.Of course you aren't. If you are Dunning would've kicked you out already. Music: Slow Steps Anything else?Not now.All right.See you around.Mr. Jeff Angel goes back to his room. And that ends the conversation. We can now look around on the second floor hallway. Music: Monochrome (Map) Music: Straight Chaser (Examination)    Plant It's a potted plant of some kind. Painting There's a painting on the wall. It's a still life.  Zoomed-in painting It's a painting of a couple of apples and a bottle of wine. Cabinet It's a small wooden cabinet. My favorite. Lamp There's a lamp on the cabinet. Leftmost frame There's a frame on the wall. Looks like the history of the hotel.    Wall lamp It's a small light stuck to the wall. Frame There's a legal document on the wall. Probably lets them run the place. Table lamp There's a lamp on the cabinet. Cabinet It's a small wooden cabinet. Sticker There's a sticker on the cabinet.    And we already got 4 out of 7 codes! If only we can find some coins...And now it's time for DOOR MONTAGE! (Some of them actually have interesting comments) we can actually meet a character early    See if you can figure out which door belong to which room.  Knock Guess no one's here. Or they're ignoring me.  Knob Door's locked and won't open. drat.  Knob Door's locked and won't open. Stupid door...  Knock No one seems to be in. Maybe these doors are soundproof...  Knock  Holy poo poo! Someone actually opens the door!  Kyle Hyde. I'm in 215.   The man says nothing and shuts his door. (See where the kid gets her manners...)Hey, at least he still opens his door when we knocked! Knock again Doesn't appear to be anyone in. ...Oh...   Knock  Kyle Hyde.I don't need anything. Go Away. Kyle: Screw you too, Jeff.  Knock Knock, knock... Anyone home? Guess not...    And that's all the doors! Let's look at the menu for a second. Music: So Noted     And we'll go into the room next time! Just kidding! We'll enter now... (The door's locked. Guess that figures.)(The key I got at the front desk should open it. Unless the owner is an idiot...)Yeah... I guess we SHOULD use the key first. You can tap the bag icon to access the item menu.  And after selecting the item, you can tap the area you want to use it on. In this case we use the Room 215 Key on the doorknob. I use my key and unlock the door to Room 215.And THEN we can tap the knob to enter the room.  So this is where wishes are granted, huh? My rear end.  (Just finish Ed's job and get the hell out of here.)  Yeah, I got the sprite-transition frame again. Sorry about that. ALL of the sprites have 2 seconds of animation. The phone rings.    Technically we can examine our room now, but we probably should take care of the phone first.  Phone The phone's ringing. New Music: Serenity   Heavy breathing, eh? Well, it must be you. Glad you made it in one piece, handsome. Hey, Rachel.You could have called when you got in! Some of us worry, you know.Yeah, yeah. Look, I just got here. Get off my case. And listen, do me a favor and give Ed a massage. Tell him he doesn't need to have you checking up on me with every little thing. I got my instructions. I'm on top of it. I'm not calling for Ed, Kyle. That so?Yes, it's so! I'm calling because I was worried. I've been thinking about it ever since we had dinner on Christmas Eve. Something's bugging you.Why would you think that? Oh, please! I may not be a hard-boiled gumshoe like you and Ed, but I have eyes! You get that stare sometimes, you know? The one that says you're a million miles away.It's nothing, Rachel.Fine. Be that way. But, Kyle, you're not exactly an open book. And people are saying all kinds of things, sweetie, and most of them aren't very nice. Like that you're an ex-cop from New York who was on the take and split town? Or a mystery man on the run from some shadowy organization?Hey! That's Kyle's dream! They talk and you listen. Is that it?Listen, Kyle... Your past is yours, OK? Nothing to do with me. I get it. I just want to know you better, handsome. That's all. Whatever you say.So, um, has the package arrived yet?Not yet. Maybe some shadowy organization killed the deliveryman.You can be a real jackass sometimes, sweetie. You know that? Listen, when it arrives, check the order sheet and give me a call. OK?All right. Is that all that's in the package? An order sheet?No, there are some new products in there, too.New products? What am I supposed to do with them?You're a salesman, Kyle. Try selling something. Oh, and those are Ed's orders. Not mine.Door-to-door sales in a hotel? That'll be fun.Oh, and one more thing. I put the client list in the package too.Oh, that."Oh, that"? Listen, mister, "that" is a salesman's best friend! Be nice! When the package arrives, don't just leave the client list in the box, all right? Put it in your suitcase!Yeah, yeah. I know.Bye, sweetie. Don't forget to call.Yeah. Ed usually contacts me through his secretary, Rachel. She doesn't know anything about Bradley, though. That's my business, not hers. Phone rings again. Phone again.Yes, we have to select the phone EVERY SINGLE TIME we want to answer/make a call. It gets annoying really quick. Music: Hangover Blues  That you, Dunning? Yep. So how's the room?It'll do.Good to hear, good to hear. Oh, by the way... I forgot t'mention this when ya checked in, but...What?I need ya t'pay yer tab up front.Up front?Now don't get me wrong! It ain't that I don't trust ya or nothin'. It's just...yer a first-time guest, and I don't know ya or nothin'.Translation: Pay me now so I don't lose any money when/if I kick you out. Hold on. You want me to pay you right now?Naw, ain't like that. Ya don't hafta take care of it right away. Ya just got here after all! Go ahead and sit a spell. But if ya swing by and take care of it before six o'clock, I'd be much obliged. I'll be in m'office or at the front desk.Fine.Thanks a bunch, Hyde. Sure do appreciate it.Sure. Whatever.Kyle hangs up Cash... Where's my cash... Oh, right. I tossed my roll in my suitcase when I got out of the car. We'll explore the room and get our cash next time! 1234567890num fucked around with this message at 07:07 on Dec 3, 2017 |

Music: Monochrome (Map) Music: Straight Chaser (Examination) Last time, Dunning asked us to relax in our room. So that's what we're going to do now.   Wall lamp There's a light above the painting. Painting There's a painting on the wall. It's a still life.  Zoomed-in painting Those are some tasty-looking apples. I must be getting hungry. Bed So this is where I'll be sleeping? Bed's a bed, I guess. Phone There's a phone next to the bed. ...Music: Serenity Hello, Red Crown.Hey, Rachel. It's me.Well, hi there, sweetie. Did you get the package?Not yet.So you just called to talk to me? How sweet! But just call back when you have it.All right.Kyle hangs up. Music: Monochrome (Map) Music: Straight Chaser (Examination) I didn't even know that scene exist. Same with that scene with Melissa's father. Phone again There's a phone next to the bed, which means I can call Rachel. Dresser Hey, a dresser! I've just got an old box in my place. Brochure Hotel brochure's next to the phone.  Paperclip There's a paper clip on the brochure. A paper clip, huh?Table lamp It's a lamp with a dingy shade. Bet it used to be white.    Window Can't see anything out the window. Bed So this is where I'll be sleeping? Bed's a bed, I guess. (Same comment as before.) Lamp I've got a small lamp next to my lamp. Beats candles. Lamp stand There's a shoddy-looking wooden stand here.    Lamp There's a lamp on the wall. Mirror There's a mirror above the sink. Towels Got some towels on the shelf. Nice to see things in order. Toiletries There's some shampoo and stuff in front of the mirror. Sink That's your basic sink. Just like the one I got at home. Toilet paper It's toilet paper. This hotel's looking better and better all the time. Toilet It's a toilet. Big surprise, this being the bathroom and all. Curtain There's a shower curtain around the bathtub. Bathtub Bathtub's clean. That gets a gold star in my book.  This game really tries to capture the old-school feeling. Unfortunately, old-school doesn't always mean good. Case in point: that wall.   Rack There's a wooden hanger rack attached to the wall. Hanger The hanger's attached to the rack. Do people really try to steal these?  Zoomed-in hanger That's a wire hanger.    TV Now THAT'S and old TV. Bet it's black-and-white. Fridge Hey, there's a minifridge under the TV. How's that for class? Pitcher There's a pitcher and a cup on the bureau. Last thing I want is water. Cabinet Got myself a small bureau. It's empty, and it's going to stay that way. A quick google search shows that 'bureau' in this case is a British word while this game is set in USA. Lamp There's a floor lamp in the corner of the room. Chair That's a wooden chair. Table There's a round table in the corner of the room. Suitcase My suitcase is sitting on the table.   (All the scuffs and tears... It sure is showing its age. Still, it was my father's suitcase, and it's been with me a long time. Hell, I was lugging the old girl around when I started working for Ed. My constant traveling companion.)OK, that's enough relaxing. Let's finally open our suitcase and get our money. Use suitcase key on suitcase  Another easy minigame. All we need to do is put the key in the keyhole.  And then we just have to turn it. It's no big d...  ...oops    Dammit! This is not what I need right now.(Now what am I goint to do? Maybe I can use some wire to pick the lock.)Why would you know how to pick a lock? Anyway, someone then knocks the door.  Hullo? Hey, got a package from the front desk.  And we're finished with the first part of the first chapter! Each chapter is divided into 3 parts.  So now we should open the door. Everytime we want to do so we have to get near the door and press the 'door' icon. Annoying but not as bad as the phone. Music stops   OK.Put it down anywhere.  Great service and grammar. No problem. We just have to tap the top box. No, we can't take the bottom box. I take one of the boxes from the bellhop.  New Music: Easy Feeling  ...I gotta blow? Wait a second... This guy is really bad at lying. Wait a second... Well, we don't know him, but Kyle seems to. So we probably should 'greet' him. You sound familiar! Don't move! That voice. I know your voice. Can't be? Why? Look at me! (What's up with this guy? What's he hiding?)(Time to get a look at his face.) I said look at me! We now need to tap the bellhop. I grab the bellhop's chin and yank his head up. You! Aw, man!I know you!Dammit, man! Aw, dammit...Louie!  'Course, I guess there isn't nothin' I can do about it now, eh? Long time, no see, Officer Hyde. (Last time I saw him was the winter of '76, three years ago. He was roaming the subways of Manhattan picking pockets for a living.)Why are you here, Louie? Run out of wallets to lift in the Big Apple?What's it look like, man?I'm workin' here!Working? You? Bull. I don't buy it.That's the God's honest, man! I got my act together!(??? You got your act together? ???) Been three years since I moved out here and scored this gig!(Three years... That's about the same time I quit the force.)How did you know I was here?Aw, man, I knew it soon as I saw your name on the package, yeah? Package shows up for the cop what busted me... What're the odds, man?I been here for THREE YEARS! Just started to put all that New York stuff behind me, ya dig? Hold on a second... Bad memories of me, eh? You wanted to forget my name, Louie? You bet I did, man! 'Course, I wanna forget all the crap what happened back then.Is that so?When I first got this gig? Used to check the guest list every day. I was a total freak show. Always afraid someone I knew would show... It was a trip, man! You woulda laughed at what a dork I was. But I got lucky, and never saw a name I recognize. ...And now you show.(??? No guests with my name? ???) So what's the deal, Officer Hyde? What you doing all the way out here in a crappy hotel like this? Must be a major bust you got lined up, right? Why else would a Manhattan cop be so far from home? It's kind of complicated... That's not it.So...what? You're, like, on vacation? Checkin' out the tar pits and crap like that?No. Huh? Man, you're a TRIP! I don't get you! Everything you say's like a riddle or a mystery or somethin'.Whatever. Not my business what you're doin' here. You keep your secrets, and I'll keep mine.What? What?What's the problem? Why're you staring at me?Mellow out, man. No big. Just that...you're different now, ya dig?I was gonna say somethin' earlier, but I didn't want you to freak.What're you talking about?What's different about me?I dunno...Spit it out. Just...something.You got a different vibe about you.(??? A different vibe? ???) Music: Rainy Night  Read note What're you looking at, man?Write note What're you writing, man?Show pager What ya showing me a pager for, man? I got no need for fancy electronics.Show room 215 key Don't lose your room key, brother, or old man Dunning'll skin ya alive.Show hotel brochure Ya think these brochures really do anything for business?Show others  I got a job, Hyde. I don't need your handouts.And as always, we're going to ask those questions next time!

Music: Rainy Night You're doing better? You got your act together?Yeah, man, I got tired of picking pockets. Big risk, small reward, yeah? Hold on.So what happened? Something happened, didn't it?Yeah, maybe... But I ain't talking about it. Not somethin' I'm gonna get into with a cop.(??? What won't you talk about? ???) (Oh, right...)(He doesn't know I quit the force.)What's up, man? Cat got your tongue?It's nothing.I have a different vibe? Different vibe? What the hell's that supposed to mean?Well, it's, you know...C'mon, man, you gotta know what I'm sayin'!You got that crappy leather jacket and that totally whacked-out tie. And your hair? Man, you got serious issues there.This look... It ain't like you, man.Not like me?Uh-huh.The Officer Hyde I remember always wore a fly black suit.And the way you used to strut around the city? You had it goin' on, man!(He's right. That's how it used to be. That's who I was. We ruled the streets, Bradley. You and me, playing the heroes.)Yeah? What else?Well, that's it, man. I mean, you were...Spit it out, Louie.You were cool, man. Even when you were hasslin' me, you were cool.My cool ran out.I changed jobs and changed clothes. That's it.Right....No guests has my name? You telling me you never heard of other guests with my name?Yeah, man. That's what I'm tellin' ya. Not likely I'd forget somethin' like that.Why you bustin' me about it, anyways?Seems there was a guest with my name about six months back.Six months...?No, man, I got nothin'. 'Sides, you think I wouldn't remember a guest what had your name?I guess...What won't you talk about? What don't you want to talk about? What happened? Forget it. I split that scene for my own reasons, man. Got nothin' to do with you.Music: Easy Feeling This gig's been goin' on too long. I gotta blow, man.All right.But, uh, listen. Before I go, lemme ask you something?What is it?You, uh... You said you changed gigs, yeah?What's the story?Oh, that. I hung it up. Truth, Louie?I hung it up.Hung what up?My badge.What? No way! You quit the beat?!Yeah. Actually, I got canned. You were FIRED?!Oh man, Officer Hyde! What'd you do?!Well...New Music: Midnight  Hyde, I've got bad news. It's Bradley. He...   Music: Easy Feeling You really wanna know?...No thanks, man. I'll pass. Sounds too heavy for me. Maybe some other time, yeah?All right.Can't believe you're not a cop anymore, man. What a trip.So, what's your deal now?I sell household goods door-to-door.C'mon! Get outta here! You're a door-to-door salesman?Yeah.You?Me.So that package what I delivered is full'a sales stuff? Detergent and floor wax and hairnets? Old lady crap like that?Could be. Louie REALLY enjoys this. Knock it off. What's so drat funny?Everything, man! C'mon, the famous Officer Hyde? A SALESMAN? That's even more of a gas than me being a bellhop! Whaaaaa ha ha ha haaaaa!Like i said, REALLY enjoys this. That so?...All right, man, I gotta bail. ...Yo, Officer Hyde?Yeah?My past... You know all the crap that happened in New York? All the stuff I did? Well, ain't nobody out there who knows about it, man. I'd appreciate it if you'd... like...keep it to yourself. Ya know?All right.Louie leaves the room. Now we can check around the room. Let's check our package. Music: Straight Chaser (Examination)  Package The package Louie delivered is on the bed.  A single brown notebook is inside the box. Notebook Huh? What's this supposed to be?There's no order sheet. This isn't Ed's package. The moron Louie brought me the wrong package!(??? I gotta tell the front desk. ???)<--White Question  The title written on the cover of the notebook is "The Secret Word." I guess we SHOULD try to open the suitcase and get our money. Seriously, I have no idea why didn't he just keep some money in his wallet. But how will we open the suitcase? Thesaya posted:Well, the hanger for sure but I haven't seen any wirecutters lying around. This is a good idea but we can't cut it so we can't try it out right now. Examining the hanger gives the same response as before. DariusLikewise posted:Paperclip that bitch So this is what we're going to try now. Paperclip There's a paper clip on the brochure. A paper clip, huh?Better hang on to this. It may come in handy.  (If I straightened this out...)And we got our paperclip! Honestly, I have NO IDEA how this become a meme. Seriously, there's a speedrun category that ends when you get this item.   Using the paper clip will bring us into a minigame. In this one, we have to straighten out the paperclip. It's not too hard. Just don't move it too quickly or it won't work.  Like I said, easy. (What's not easy is making sure the GIF size is below 2 MB.) There we go...nice and straight. (Let's see if I can pick the lock on my suitcase.)Use thin wire on suitcase   Like before, we just need to push the object into the keyhole.  What comes next is different, though. Our goal now is to push all the "locks".  But of course it's not that easy. (This GIF is just barely below 2 MB.) (This ain't working. I'm not gonna get my suitcase open with this thin wire.)(I'm going to need a bigger piece of wire.)Well that didn't work. Maybe we should use the hanger after all. Also, finding an object in the hotel to do something will be a common puzzle in this game. We should let out some steam by complaining to the front desk. But before that, we'll look at the descriptions. Music: So Noted      Music: Monochrome Okay, let's go to the front desk. Maybe we'll find a wirecutter there. We won't be opening the suitcase this chapter. But just as we approach the stairs...  Someone's coming out of Room 219.    Ah! We'll talk to her and complain about the hotel service next time! 1234567890num fucked around with this message at 16:50 on Nov 23, 2017 |

Do you guys think that the length of the updates are long enough, or do you want me to make it longer or shorter? I was kinda hoping that we can get into the next page before the chapter is over, since this page has many images. Next update hopefully will be posted in 2 days.

Yeah, I honestly don't think we'll be able to move to next page by next day. I'll put the first update in lpix before posting the next. Also, I'm planning on LPing the sequel to this game whenever this LP is done. I'm actually a little surprised it isn't in the request list.

Last Window: The Secret of Cape West, the sequel to this game. It have several minor spoilers to this game. Speaking of which... NO SPOILERS TO THE SEQUEL TO THIS GAME!!! Probably should add that to the OP while it hasn't been discussed yet.

Let's talk to Melissa now. We should chew her out for last time. Music: Pink Rabbit  What?What's the score?Hey! Kid!I'm talking to you.My name's not "kid"!Yeah, I know. Your name's Melissa.Hey! You know my name!'Course I do. Don't underestimate adults, kid. We know things.Yeah, right. Whatever.I don't know about you guys, but I'd be surprised if someone suddenly knows my name. Seriously, kid. Stop playing on the stairs. It's a hassle.I'm not gonna play on the stairs anymore. But I lost something really important. Tell me something, will you? Why can't you see mom? You won't be able to see your mom?Uh-huh. I had to promise my dad. I gotta do what he says... with no "back talk." If I don't, we won't see my mom. We'll just go home.(??? You're going to see Mom? ???) That's why I'm not gonna be a brat anymore.Music: Rainy Night  All of the new items (except puzzle piece) give the 'others' responses from last time. Let's just start with the questions. Going to see your mom, huh? What do you mean, you're gonna go see your mom? Hey, kid. Where'd your mom go? Where'd your mom go?I dunno.But I was crying 'cause I wanted to see my mom for Christmas, right? And so Dad said we could go and see her.So where are you going?I dunno.That's quite the plan.Where are you going, mister?Me?I'm here on business, so I go where the boss says. Just gotta wait and see.Oh business?That's just like my dad. My dad always has to do whatever his boss says. That's why he's so busy.(??? What's your dad's job? ???) What's your old man do? What's your old man do?Old man? Who's that?Your dad. What kind of work does your dad do?He's a surgeon and stuff.He works at some hospital somewhere.A sawbones, huh?Yeah, I guess.And my mom works at an art museum. Her name's Grace. My mom's... Wow, Kyle is REALLY GOOD with kids! ...Fine, go ahead. What's your mom like?What's she like? She's nice, and pretty, and she bakes really good birthday cakes.What else?Well, she always said nice stuff about my drawings. I used to draw pictures of my mom all the time.Pictures of your mom?Uh-huh.Sounds like a class act... Why don't you draw a picture of her in this?I open my notebook and give it to Melissa. Sure, I guess.Melissa drew a picture in my notebook. There. Hmm?Music: Pink Rabbit (Oh, right... Guess I'll give her back that puzzle piece I found on the stairs.)And then we get kicked into the map screen. We talk to Melissa again. Hey.What?Music: Rainy Night And that brings us to the question screen without any question. For other times when this happens I'll cut to the question screen. We can actually see the picture Melissa drew.  I can point out the various strange things with this picture, but I won't. It is a kid's drawing anyway. Also, notice that there's 4 pages for the notebook now. Not that we can draw on the fourth page. Also, she actually have different reactions for notes this time. Read note Whatcha looking at?Write note Whatcha writing?There's no new reactions for any previous items. So let's just give her the puzzle piece. Show puzzle piece This is yours, isn't it?Oh...Here.T-thank you.This puzzle was a present from my mom. It's my treasure.And we're brought back to the question screen. With nothing to do, when we exit the screen... Music: Pink Rabbit    Dad, I was- OK. The two of them go into Room 219. (What's up with that guy? I can see why his wife split.)Music: Monochrome    Right, let's talk to this mysterious girl that will definitely not be important in any way! Music: Secrets  You got a second?Hey! .jpg) There's dramatic music when her face is revealed, even though we've seen her before. (That's her. That's the girl I saw on the drive out here.)It's you! I saw you standing alone by the side of the road. You were on the side of the highway, about an hour from here.Wait, we've been here only for 10-ish minutes! Assuming he went here after Ed called, meeting the girl. on the way, there's no way he met her about an hour from here!  You know, unless she's actually the Flash.  What? What's wrong? Not you?(What's going on? Why won't she say anything?) Huh? Wait a minute... Sorry, are you deaf? I didn't mean to...Yeah, the typical 'asking the deaf person if he/she is deaf' She can hear just fine! Mmm-hmm! There's a voice behind me.  Music: Hangover Blues  But she hasn't said boo since she arrived. Don't ask me why not! I don't know.Who are you? Me?  So you're Rosa?Why are you asking? Has someone been talking about me again?Yeah, I ran into Dunning at the front desk. He came out screaming 'cause he thought I was you.Oh, did he now? Yeah, that sounds like Mr. Smith. Sorry about that.I bet the boss was lost in one of his hockey games. As usual. He's supposed to be watching the front desk. 'Course he never does. The man is useless. Totally useless.Right... So who's the girl? Her? Miss Talkie over there? That's Mila. Why? Why you asking? There something you need from her?(??? Her name's Mila?! ???)  And we're kicked back to the map screen. Talking to the girl again gives us... Music: Secrets Hello?Can't answer me, huh? Right. Let's talk to Rosa now. (Ignore the flashing notebook. I haven't read the note when I took the screenshot) Music: Hangover Blues Who are you, anyway? I haven't seen you around here.That doesn't surprise me. I'm a guest. Probably don't see too many in this place.Wow, that's rude. Well, don't I feel silly! I didn't realize! Wait a second... A salesman, huh? Why'd you think I was a salesman?Red Crown.What?The jacket. On your back. You're wearing one of their jackets, aren't you?Guess I am.So then I was right, wasn't I? Yeah, I knew it. Mmm-hmm!I bought some things from one of your salesman before.He gave me a song and dance about how great your stuff is. Of course, he lied. Do me a favor. Get your company to sell things that are worth a darn.So tell me, what's your name? Wait! Let me guess! Um...no. I have no idea.Kyle Hyde. Oooooohhhh...So YOU'RE the man staying in Room 215. Shoulda known, shoulda known.Look at that. You do know me.Music: Rainy Night  Read note What're you reading?Write note What're you writing?Show pager Yes, yes. That's a very nice... one of those things.Show room 215 key That's your room key. You know, for opening the door? Don't lose it.Show hotel brochure That's a pamphlet for this hotel. I clean those off the floor all the time!Show others Huh? What? What's that? Put that away, will you?And we'll ask those question next time! 1234567890num fucked around with this message at 10:11 on Dec 1, 2017 |

Music: Rainy Night Let's get straight to complaining. I got the wrong package. Your bellhop delivered a package a few minutes ago.But it wasn't mine.Huh? What? He brought you the wrong package? What a dolt!Yeah, looks like he got his wires crossed somewhere.Sorry about that. I'll make him look into it. Don't worry about a thing.Her name's Mila? So the girl's name is Mila?Oh yeah. Sure. Well, that would be my guess. I mean, that's what the bracelet on her left arm says.(Bracelet?)Music stops  Dramatic music! Unfortunately I don't know how to get the jingles. There are plenty. There's one for this dramatic thing, getting item, starting minigame, finishing minigame, failing minigame, etc. Music: Suspicions   Music stops That's impossible.(The bracelet Bradley was wearing... It couldn't be...)Music: Rainy Night What is it? Something wrong? What's wrong?No...it's nothing.Oh...OK. Fine by me.So...the girl. Is she staying here tonight? Yeah, I think so. I'll probably drop her in my room.(??? Drop her? What's that mean? ???) It means she's going to drop her off the window in her room, obviously. You're going to drop her? What do you mean?It means I'll let her stay in my room. As a favor?You have a room?Yeah, that's right. A room. I work here and live here, too. Lousy deal, I know.But tht poor young girl's obviously lost, so what can I do? Nothing, that's what!You're giving her a room to stay. That's not 'nothing'. I thought only little kids got lost.Well, she might be a simple old to be called lost, but she sure looks out of place. I heard she was just standing on the side of the road. Poor thing! She doesn't have any luggage or anything.Did she make it here all on her own?No, she got a ride. Hitchhiked. That young man who checked in earlier brought her.(??? Young man? ???) But then he found out she doesn't talk, so he left her here. You believe it? Pretty cold if you ask me! Leaving here here all alone like that! Just ain't right.What guy brought her? Who brought her in?Fellow's name is Jeff Angel. He's in 213.Why? Why'd you ask? Do you know him? Yeah, we met. I met him. Briefly.That so?Then you understand what I'm talking about! He looks harmless enough, right?But it's the ones who look sweet that you have to fear, and for a fact!I'm sure he just picked her up because she's cute. Then he abandons her! What a creep!I have some problems with the timeline here. Did Jeff check in before or after Kyle? If it's before, then he wouldn't be able to get into the room while we're messing with Melissa. But if it's before, it still doesn't make sense how Mila is found 1 hour away but still managed to get here and tell Rosa somehow about him. You know, unless she's actually The Flash. Music: Hangover Blues   Rosa runs to the front desk and answers the phone.         Note how Kyle's expressions changes. Rosa finishes talking and hangs up the phone. That sounded promising.Seems we found your missing package. Good thing, eh?That was another guest. Sounds like he got it by mistake. He said he'll just take it on over to your room. Pretty nice of him.So we could've called the front desk instead of going there directly? Wow, what a waste of time. Works for me. Now you just go on up and wait in your room. Go on, now! Move it! Of course, Mila. Just go with Rosa. Who WOULDN'T trust that smile? Rosa and Mila walk off to the far end of the lobby. (Mila, huh? That was the name of Bradley's kid sister.) Music: Monochrome We're now back in the map screen. With nothing else we need to do, we get back to the second floor. (Maybe I should have a chat with Jeff Angel about Mila.) Knock Music: Slow Steps  Yes? What is it?I met a girl in the lobby named Mila.Mila? Who's that?You should know. You brought her here.Oh. Her.(??? You didn't know her name? ???) What about her?Music: Rainy Night  Read note What are you looking at?Write note What are you writing down?Yeah, I think the reactions for note in every conversation is different. I'll try to get them all. You didn't know her name? She never told you her name?Maybe. I don't remember. ...Why'd you bring her here? Wait, wait. She ASKED? She ASKED you to bring her here?Of course! Well, kind of... Actually, she never said a word to me.She didn't talk?I thought you already know this! So how'd you know she wanted to come here?She had a brochure. Of the hotel, you know?(??? She had a brochure? ???) You know, paper? Little pictures? Anyway, I figured it was her stop.Showing him the hotel brochure gives the same response as before. She knew about this hotel? So she knew about this hotel, did she?Are you practicing to be an echo chamber or something? Yeah, she knew. She was carrying a brochure from this hotel. I don't get why this is so hard for you. I asked her where she was headed. She showed me the brochure. I needed a place to stay, too, and figured one place was as good as another. So here I am. Believe me, I wouldn't have stopped if I knew what a dump it really was.Music: Slow Steps You need anything else?No.All right.Good-bye, then.Jeff finishes talking and shuts the door. We move some steps to our room.  A door opens on the right side of the hallway, and a woman steps out.  Music: Easy Feeling  You must be the man from Room 215.Yeah.Who are you?I'm staying in 216.That's a funny name.I'm Iris.  ...You're not much of a conversationalist, are you?No, but I can carry a tune.I'm sure you can carry all manner of things, Mr...Hyde. Kyle Hyde. Mr. Hyde, hmm?I'll make a note of it.(Make a note of it? What the hell's that supposed to mean?)You need something?No, not really. I was just confirming a hunch.(??? Confirming a hunch? ???) Music: Rainy Night  Read note What are you looking at?Write note What are you writing?Show room 215 key Your room is called Wish? They stuck me in Success. Fitting, I suppose...Show hotel brochure Do you feel the need to carry around a brochure for this place?Show others  I can't imagine why you're showing me this, but I'm sure I can't care less.We'll ask the questions next time!

Mine is Rosa because she is the only competent staff in Hotel Dusk. By the way, for the game over updates, do you want me to show only the choices that lead to game overs or show most of the alternate choices? The latter will obviously make it a lot longer. Edit: i plan to show some minor changes from new game and new game + either way. I don't plan to show every single dialogue choices either way. 1234567890num fucked around with this message at 04:28 on Nov 27, 2017 |

I guess I'll skip the 'press' (yellow triangle) and skip the two lines of dialogue from doing it. I'll show off different dialogues if they're really different. There's actually a LOT of dialogues people miss when playing normally even when they're being thorough (like how I showed in the normal updates). I'll show the other dialogue option if I get a choice without pressing. I'm actually just finished writing the next update and can post it as soon as we move to the next page.

The alternate choices are longer than I thought. Even after splitting the updates to 3 parts each of them are still longer than normal updates. The first one should be up tomorrow.

Do you guys think that the way I'm showing the alternate timeline clear enough? Or should I put more context on when the conversation happens? I'm also curious about who reading this thread haven't played this game before.

To those of you who already played the game, feel free to tell me if I missed anything in chapter 1. To those of you who read this blind, click the music links. The soundtrack for this game is really good. It really adds to the mood of the game.

 Music: Easy Feeling What're you reading?Aw, some skin mag one of the guests left behind.(??? A guest forgot it? ???) I dunno if they forgot it or tossed it or what... But who cares, right? Free is free!So whattaya want, anyway? This is your hiding spot? So this is where you've been hiding, eh? Hidin'?!How's the cleanin' coming? ...You know Rosa's looking for you, right?What? Cleaning? Is that all? Man, I was all tripped out for nothing!Here I thought Officer Hyde was gonna bust my rear end, and you ask 'bout cleanin'? Wait a second... You're lying. You're lying to me, DeNonno.Huh?Rosa told me all about you. Said you're nothing but a slacker.That old bag? Forget her! What gives her the right to hassle guests about me?Talkin' crap 'bout people's like her hobby, ya know? I'm workin', man, straight up! This is an honest gig.Look, Officer... I mean... Hyde. Listen to me for a sec. I'm clean, and I'm workin'. Workin' HARD.I'm like three times more serious than I was in the city. God's honest.Three times? You call this...C'mon, man, stop preachin'!This is it for me, ya know?! I ain't smart or talented... This is the best I can do.Not being a cop anymore's gotta be rough, yeah? We're the same man. It's like ya just gotta take a break and catch your breath before ya snap. That maid Rosa's a loud-mouthed old bag. And Dunning's a penny-pinchin' slave driver.I'm the only bellhop in this whole stinkin' place. No matter how hard I work, stuff just keeps pilin' up.Like a total energy vampire, man.Honestly it's a wonder this place is still running. What if you get fired?Ha! Yeah, right. Fire me? That's rich.Like I'm gonna get fired from this gig!Ain't nobody want to work AND live here, man. Nobody 'cept me, I guess.Not so long as those stories are out there...(??? Stories? ???) Music: Rainy Night  Read note Whatchya lookin' at?Write note Whatchya writin'?Stuff gets left behind? Lot of things get left behind?Yeah, tons. Some of it's worth pretty good dough, too.Don't worry, man, I don't touch any of it.It all gets kicked up to old man Dunning.Well, it's his joint.Yeah, he keeps all the lost and found stuff in his office.Doesn't trust anyone else, I guess.(Lost and found items are kept in the office, huh? Good to know.)What stories did you mean? Stories? What're you talking about?This place is lousy with 'em, man!...Lousy with what?...Ghosts.Ghosts....Yeah. A long time ago there was an...an "incident," ya know?(??? What was the incident? ???) Soon as it happened, people were talking 'bout ghosts and hauntings and stuff. Folks said they heard some young kid sobbin' during the night. Then when they followed the voice, they found a little girl in a white dress. And if they tried to talk to her? ...She'd VANISH! Poof! Total trip, man.Anyway, that's the story. It's enough to keep people from wantin' to work here.Wow. Louie just told the story that Rosa really tried to keep as a secret. You seen this ghost?'Course not, brother! It's just some crazy story.But I'll tell you something... When I saw that young chick today? She was facing the other way, and it kinda tripped me out for a sec.It's cool, though. No way that girl's a ghost. She... She's like an angel that got lost or... or somethin'...The hell you mumbling about, Louie? What girl?The one right here, man! The mystery girl! Her name's Mila.(??? Mila? ???) When was this incident? When was this incident?...When?I heard it was ten years ago.(??? I wonder what happened? ???) What's Mila like? What kind of girl is Mila?Huh? (Is Louie blushing? He really think he's in love with this girl?)She was in the lobby earlier right? Girl with the long hair?Met her already, eh?She's a looker, right?I guess. Whoa! Nothing changes? Why'd you say nothing changes?I'm talkin' bout YOU, man! You're like some dinosaur stuck in a tar pit. I know your history, Officer Hyde. You only fall for chicks with...ya know...Issues....How's that?Sure! Detective Kyle Hyde of the fightin' 89th and his whacked-out lady lover... All us street rats knew the story, man. It was famous.Really?...Yeah. Guess I shoulda kept my head hole shut, huh?Probably.Talk about the incident. Tell me about the incident....Hmm. This stuff still interest you? Even ya ain't a cop anymore?Guess so.Crimes and criminals still get my blood going. You don't just walk away. No one does.Ha! Still the same ol'Officer Hyde!Ya know, you look real weird without a badge and a gun, man. You always seemed like a "cop for life" kind of cat, ya dig?Yeah.So about this incident. What happened?I heard about it from this gabby guy over at the newspaper stand. Seems a man and his daughter stopped here for a night, yeah? Then, in the middle of the night, the girl disappeared.(??? She disappeared? ???) A girl disappeared? She disappeared?Yeah. Kid was only ten years old, too. Father looked all over for her, but the sun came up and she was still gone.Later on, the cops got a mysterious letter...It told 'em where they could find the girl's body.(??? Did they find the body? ???) Did they find the body? Did they find the girl's body?No, that's the crazy part. Guy told me they didn't find squat. No kid, no crook, no nothin'. Thing's still unsolved....That so?Yep. And after that, the stories started. The murdered chick's ghost appears at night and...acts scary or whatever. Now we're getting somewhere. Dusk went bankrupt? Place went under, huh?Yeah. Bottoms up. Place was deserted till Dunning rolled in 'bout five years ago. He picked the place up for nothin' and bam! Hotel Dusk is open for business.Anyways, that's all I know. Dunning and Rosa don't like to talk about it.Yeah. We saw what happened when we tried to ask Rosa. Music: Easy Feeling Yo, Officer Hyde!Lemme ask ya somethin'!What?So you quit the beat and left the city, yeah? You come all the way out here to avoid cats from your past?That's part of it. But I was born out here, too. My mom and I only moved to New York after my old man passed. Figured I could use my old contacts to get back on my feet.Yeah, I dig.And, well...Well, what? Don't leave me hangin', man!I'm looking for someone.Lookin' for someone? Get outta here! You ain't a cop no more!Not like that. It's just a guy I used to work with who went missing.A guy you worked with? What, like a cop?Yeah, my ex-partner, Bradley. Don't think you ever had the pleasure.Bradley, huh?Yeah.Why's he missing?He got shot at the docks three years ago and took a dive in the Hudson.Three years ago?Something wrong? I could make the DeNonno pun again, but instead I'm going to say that for some reason I always think of him saying that with Tommy Wiseau's "accent". But ya know... If the cat's been outta sight for three years... Well, kinda safe to assume he's dead. Ain't it?No. He's alive.Hey, I know you guys were tight and all, so you want him to be alive... But you gotta let go. Dead is dead, right?(Want's got nothing to do with it. He's alive. I know it.)But lemme tell ya...Having a compadre wink out or skip town's a total drag, ain't it? Wait, Louie. We're the same? We're the same? What are you talking about?Um...Spill it. ...NOW!We're the same, man. I had me a buddy died three years back.That's all.Hey, I gotta split. You'd better get outta here, too. I told ya, man. this place ain't for guests, ya dig?I dig.Louie finishes talking and hurries out the door. Wow, that's a long talk. We'll investigate this room next time. 1234567890num fucked around with this message at 14:46 on Dec 4, 2017 |

Music: Monochrome (Map) Music: Rainy Night (Examination)  We can investigate this room now that Louie's gone.   Mop There's a mop leaning against the wall. Locker There's a locker on the wall. It's unlocked.  Bottles Bottles of floor cleaner are next to the toolbox. Mops There are some mops in the bottom of the locker. Cloth Looks like a dust rag to me. Toolbox There's a toolbox on a shelf in the locker.  Zoomed-in toolbox It's a toolbox. Crowbar What's that? A crowbar?  (Never know when you might need one of these.)Screwdriver Lucky me. It's a screwdriver.  (I bet I'll be happy I found this before all's said and done.)Pliers There's a pair of pliers in here.  (This should come in here somewhere.)   Cart It's a linen cart. Empty as can be. Louie must be slacking again. Trash can It's a plastic garbage can. Iron That iron looks heavy. Table There's an old, worn ironing board next to the wall. Spray bottle That's a spray bottle.    Top-left cloth These look like towels for the guest rooms. Other clothes These must be sheets for the guest rooms.    Left bottle There's a bottle of cleanser on the shelf. Right bottle It's a bottle of bleach. Keep out of reach of children. Top-left cloths These look like towels for the guest rooms. Other clothes These must be sheets for the guest rooms. Bottom-middle 'cloth' Whoa, that's not a sheet. It's a nudie mag.  Magazine I've seen that dame on the cover before. Says her name's Cecily Lee... I'm impressed Kyle knows that.  (The actress Cecily Lee is the cover girl for this issue.)(December issue of a mag with Cecily Lee on the cover... This must be the magazine on Ed's list.)That's all we can do in this room. When we get out... Guess I'll go check out the office. Moving a few steps...  A door near the stairs opens and someone peeks out.  Music: Slow Steps  Yoo-hoo? Pardon me, young man!What? Me?Yes, that's right! I was wondering if you could be a dear and help me? Do you know what time the restaurant opens?(It's that old lady from downstairs.)Yeah. Six o'clock. So it's still closed. You might want to stay in your room.Don't want you to climb stairs if you don't have to. ...Is that so? Oh! Thank you so much for your kindness, young man. My name is Helen Parker. Forgive me for asking, but what is your name?Kyle Hyde.And what room are you staying in, Mr. Hyde?215.Ah! So you're the rascal who's staying in Wish!Wish?That's right. It's such a nice name for a room, don't you think?I'm in Room 212. It's called Angel.(I guess old ladies like the names. Least that's something...)Sure. It's a good name, I guess.It is at that, isn't it?! Well, Kyle Hyde, thank you for taking the time to speak with this old woman.Please excuse me, dear.The old woman with the eye patch turns and shuffles back to her room. (??? Why's she staying here? ???) We can now knock the door and ask the question.  Knock  Kyle Hyde. From Room 215. Wish?Yes, yes, I remember now. What can I do for you?Music: Rainy Night  Read note May I ask what it is you're reading?Write note May I ask what it is you're writing?Show room 215 key Oh, how I wanted your room, you rascal!

This game is educational! Why stay here? I'm curious why you're staying in a dump like this.Oh, I see. Well, if you must know, I've some dear memories of this hotel.(??? Dear memories? ???) What kind of memories? What kind of memories?Eh heh heh! That's a secret, young man!The best memories are the ones you keep locked up in your private heart. That's what makes them special.They're not the sort of things you share easily.Music: Slow Steps So polite! Are you sure there's nothing else?No, I'm afraid not....I see. Well, please excuse me then.Helen closes her door. Music: So Noted       The map has been updated. The two rightmost rooms were blacked out before. Music: Monochrome As Kyle said, we should check out the office.  Knock Music: Hangover Blues  Yeah.Ya come to pay yer bill?(...drat. My money's still in my suitcase.)Oh yeah. Cash in advance. Can't be too careful and all that, right?I'd 'preciate it if ya settle up soon as ya can.Dunning says nothing more and shuts the door. Oh... Right... We still haven't opened the suitcase. If I remember correctly... Thesaya posted:Well, the hanger for sure but I haven't seen any wirecutters lying around. We can try this now. Music: Straight Chaser  We do have something to cut the hanger now. Use pliers on hanger  We got into a minigame. We have to pick the spot we want to use the pliers on. Once we picked a spot the pliers will cut it.  Like this.  You can faintly see the spots where it's been cut. Ignore the fact that the cut part is different from the pliers shot from the previous picture. If we didn't cut the hanger correctly, it won't lead to game over, instead this happens Nope, that isn't the way I need to cut it.And we can try again. So, it's time for AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION. How should we cut this hanger?

Honestly, none of the minigames aren't THAT hard. Most of the difficulty comes from figuring out how to get the minigame and what you actually have to do to complete it.ultrabindu posted:make it into a little wire stickman That would've been really great, but unfortunately, we can't do that. We can only cut in 2 places, and the shape of the wire can't be tampered further. There's actually a hint somewhere in the previous updates about the shape needed.

Thesaya posted:It's not that I think it's hard, it's more that it feels a bit arbitrary and I don't feel like it. I was going to include a smiley to show I wasn't too serious but I don't remember what the codes are on here and was too lazy to look it up. Yeah, I understand. I just can't think of a better stopping point, and the next place we'll be investigating is pretty meaty. The update should be up later today.

There's actually a hint about the shape we need.  Remember that we got this from straightening out the paperclip. We need the wire to be straight. Or you can just randomly pick 2 spots. That's what I did when I played this the first time.    If you can't tell from the pictures, we have to cut it in the right and left part of the horizontal line in the bottom. The difficulty of the minigames is mostly in figuring out what to do in them (and how to trigger them in the first place.) Music: Straight Chaser I cut it to the right length. (Let's see if I can get the suitcase unlocked with this.)Yeah. Let's.  Use thick wire on suitcase.  The first part goes exactly like the key and the thin wire.   Again, we need to push all the 'locks' inside. However, this is much easier than last time.   Finally! (Here we go... That got the lock open.) We can examine the top and the bottom part separately. Let's start with the top.  We can move the items around.  Notably the receipts and the photograph were hidden before we moved the newspaper and map. Map It's a map of L.A. Brochure It's one of Red Crown's brochures. Newspaper That's yesterday's paper. Receipts This is a stack of receipts. Gotta turn these in to Ed and get paid... Photograph That's a photograph. If you look closely you can see that it's a photo of 2 people. I think it may be Kyle and Bradley. Let's move on to the bottom part.  Nothing is hidden this time. Socks Those are my socks. Gotta wash 'em... Bottle It's a bottle of whiskey. The good stuff, too. Cash  Pencil That's a pencil. I don't need this right now. Razor It's an electric razor. I hair up fast, so this is nice. Tie This is a necktie. Got it on sale. Shirt It's a clean shirt. My only one, actually. If we try to go out... (Oh, and I better not forget what Rachel told me.)Do you guys remember what Rachel said? One of the 'difficulties' in this game is that it's very easy to forget things that the game won't remind you about, such as this. This game doesn't have a to-do list. In this case, Rachel told us to put the client list in the suitcase. Use client list on the suitcase. (I hid the client list in my suitcase.)Music: Monochrome With that done, let's pay up Dunning. Knock Music: Hangover Blues Yeah.Ya come to pay yer bill?Yeah.How much?Forty clams.Here.Forty on the nose.Oh, and I heard all about yer hassle! ...Hey. You should be sorry! Hassle ain't the word for it, pal. You need to get a handle on things. Figure out some way to get things from here to my room without losing 'em, all right? Hey now! Said I was sorry! No need to jump down m'throat! That drat Louis is just one screwup after another. Next time he does somethin' like that, he's gone!But right now I'm busier'n a one-legged man in an rear end-kickin' contest.So firin' him will hafta wait for a bit.Too bad.Lemme make it up to ya... Dinner's on the house tonight! And just listen to what the Moonlight Grill's got on the menu... Rib eye steak with fresh garlic butter! And that's a class steak, too! Rosa may run her mouth, but she's a helluva cook! I'll even have her throw in dessert for ya.Oh, and by the way...I'm gonna close up the office and head back to my own room for a spell. Ya need anything, it'll have t'wait till later.Dunning finishes, then turns and walks down the hall. We didn't even get to ask anything about the box. It's probably in the office, but surely Dunning isn't dumb enough to leave it unlocked, right? Knob (Guess I should nose around the office while Dunning's out.) (Might as well check the guest register, too. See if I can find any info on the other me who stayed here.)...You've got to be kidding me. Is locking the door just too for Dunning?Let's just check the office. Starting with the door to the front desk and the door to the mystery room in the map. Music: Monochrome (Map) Music: Rainy Night (Examination)  Knock All this knocking is making me a little crazy. Knob Door won't budge. ...Stupid door.  Knock I keep knocking on these doors, but nobody answers. Maybe it's my breath.    The numbers of the cabinet are barely visible. Cabinet 3 This looks like Cabinet 3.  Zoomed-in cabinet 3 Yeah, this is Cabinet 3 all right. Lock There's a combination lock on the cabinet. Cabinet 9 This cabinet looks like it weighs a ton. Other cabinets The cabinet drawer won't open. Paper There's something stuck under the corner of the cabinet.  Zoomed-in cabinet 9 This cabinet must weigh a ton. Zoomed-in paper There's some kind of memo stuck under the cabinet. What's this?  Crap! The thing ripped! There's a bunch of dots and numbers on the memo. (What in the...?) Um...  It looks like a 'V'! We'll get to this later. ...   Right frame There's some sort of certificate in the frame. Board There are a bunch of receipts and memos on the corkboard. Right book There's a book on the desk. It's about hockey. Card There's a card on the desk. Left book There's a notebook and a card on the desk.  Zoomed-in book The cover of the notebook says Supervisory Log.  December 26 Tidied up the cabinets. Put things left by guests into Drawer "3." Put guest registration cards into Drawer "A."Zoomed-in card There's a card on the desk. It's a birthday card.There's a message written on the card. "Happy Birthday to my dearest Jenny!" (??? Wonder who Jenny is... ???)<-- White Question Penholder There's only one pen in the penholder. Paper Look at this... The sports page. What a surprise. Newspaper There's a newspaper on the desk. Table Dunning's desk is against the wall. Calendar/Phone There's a calendar on the left side of the desk.  Zoomed-in phone There's a phone on the desk. I should make some free long-distance calls. Zoomed-in calendar  It's circled...(??? What's special about 12/5? ???)<-- White Question Small board Nothing on the board has any real importance to what I'm after. Left frame The wall's decorated with contracts. Doesn't really do much for me. Key hanger Dunning's got all the room keys hanging on the wall.  Keys Dunning's got all the room keys hanging on the wall.  Wow, that's a lot. If your eyes just glazed over them, we got two white questions: (??? Wonder who Jenny is... ???) (??? What's special about 12/5? ???) Moving on.    Right frame There's a shot of a brick-lined streets tacked on the wall. Left frame Dunning's got a framed diploma or something on the wall. Sofa Nice sofa. I spent a month sleeping on one of these once... Newspaper There's a newspaper on the table. Looks like today's. Table There are some papers on the table.    TV Another TV? Dunning must be a real couch potato. Files Nothing unusual here. Just some files and books. Cabinet A The drawer is unlocked.  Books Looks like a tourist brochure and a map. Folders The file case in the drawer is full of registration cards. Might not be a bad idea to take a peek at these cards. Everything except the name about this is different with ours, even the handwriting. The name Kyle Hyde is written on one of the registration cards. Stayed in Room 217 on June 30th, 1979.(Dunning wasn't screwing with me after all. There really was a guest with my name.)Other cabinets The cabinet drawer is locked. Now all that's left is to get the rest of the memo. We have just the right tool for the job.  Use crowbar on cabinet  If you forgot to grab the crowbar you can actually go back and grab it. It's not like Dunning cares about us using the properties of his hotel to get inside his private office and steal his memo. Anyway, what to do here is obvious. There's even a helpful white circle.  This is... There's a bunch of dots and numbers on the memo. (Well, this is useless...)(What's this supposed to mean?)  Really, Dunning? You make the 'puzzle' like that? Even Melissa could've solved it! Maybe if I connect the dots...Yes, we get it Kyle! Anyway, if I remember correctly this code is randomized every playthrough. You can't even try to open the cabinet until you get the full memo. Lock There's a combination lock on the cabinet.   That's it!Cabinet 3 The cabinet's open.  Box There's a small red box in one of the cabinet drawers.  (This must be the box that was on the order sheet.)(Nice. That's everything I was supposed to find.)That was quick. We found both items already  . Now let's get out of here.     Busted. We'll talk to him next time. 1234567890num fucked around with this message at 15:27 on Mar 14, 2018 |

So it was that other detective what was runnin' with Nile?Yeah.Oh, wow, man. Trip...What're you mumbling about now, Louie?I never thought meeting up with you again would clear up that...

And don't you tell me to shut up!OK. I'm going! Man...Louie leaves.  Rosa's still hanging around here. Let's see what she has to say. I honestly don't know why they decided to separate the conversation. ...Hasn't changed a bit....Eh? Hasn't changed?Yeah. ...Hey. What's wrong? Something eating you?Huh? What? Me? No! No, just... thinking about you and Louis is all.C'mon. What're you thinking about?Say, you wouldn't happen to...Happen to what?Happen to know Louis from somewhere else? You do! Don't you? Louie did ask us to keep his past a secret... Nope! Never met him!  Nope.Don't try and fool Rosa, mister. You can't do it! I know things! I heard you and Louis talking, you know?Oh......but yeah. They're terrible at hiding it. I'm right, aren't I? Don't start lying to me now!I couldn't hear WHAT you were talking about, but... I did hear Louis call you "Officer Hyde." What's that, huh? Officer? There's no mistaking that, and for a fact!That so?Well, I guess the gig's up, isn't it?Yeah, Louie and I know each other. What now?It's nothing. Really! I just thought if you and Louis knew each other...I thought I could ask you something.Go ahead.Well, see... Oh, this is so awkward... Well, I really want to ask about...Louis's past.His past?That's right! His past! You know, what he was like before?You knew him, right?So you could tell me what he did before he started working here. C'mon, talk to me!Why Lisa why Lisa please talk to me please. ...Sorry. For some reason that line just came into my head.  Don't tell her anything. His past? Why?Well, it's obvious, isn't it?!He's hiding something, I just know it!Hiding something? What do you mean?It's been almost three years since Louis started working here. And in all that time, he's never once talked about his past. Not ONCE.He's hiding something. I can smell it! Always can!Oh yeah? So what's he hiding?Something terrible! I'd stake my mop on it!Define "terrible."You know! A criminal record, or an ex-wife, or running from the law or something. Got a second? You're crazy, Rosa!   Glad to see  Kyle also exist in the original timeline. Wha-?!What are you laughing at? This is serious!Sorry! Sorry... It's just... I can't believe you just said that. And why not?You're wrong. In fact, you're so wrong it's funny.Oh, I'm wrong, am I?Yeah. I know, first time for everything, right?Listen, you're right about one thing, I did know Louie.But let me tell you about our pal Louie...Guy worked in a back alley jewelry shop in the East Village.Tiny store, sold nothing but crap. Nobody ever shopped there.He worked in a jewelry shop?Yeah. Look, there's no way Louie was ever a criminal. He's a professional slacker. He doesn't have the stones to be a crook.Truly? That's his story? Well, I'll be... Music: Rainy Night  Read note What're you looking at?Write note What're you writing?Show crowbar Don't go breaking any of our windows with that thing, now!Show men's magazine Mr. Hyde! You have no cause to show me that, and for a fact!Show cash Looks like both of us could use more money, am I right?We'll ask these questions next time!

Music: Rainy Night Who's Jenny? Who's Jenny?Jenny? I don't know anyone named Jenny.What's with Dec. 5th? the date December 5th mean anything to you?December 5th?Hmmm... Lemme think on that for a sec... December 5th... Well, my birthday's June 30th! And I'm pretty sure Dunning's is October 8th...Sorry! Doesn't ring a bell....That so?Music: Hangover Blues Well, I've got to get a move on. Dinner won't wait, you know! Busy, busy, busy...Rosa finishes talking and scurries away. Insert beeping sound here.  Music: Monochrome So now we have to go back to our room and pick up the phone. Music: Straight Chaser Phone Guess I should give Rachel a call.  It's me. You paged.Hey, sweetie! That was fast.What are you saying? I always call back right away.I think we have a different idea of what that phrase means.Maybe, but mine's right. So what do you need?Let me put Ed on. Hyde! Tell me something, will you? There a kid named Louis DeNonno working there at the Hotel Dusk?DeNonno? Yeah, he's the bellhop. I knew him from back in the day. Said he left the city and drifted out here 'bout three years ago.You know the kid, huh? What's his story?Just a punk who used to ride the subways picking pockets. Can't tell you how many times I busted his rear end. Why? What's going on?I just got back from meeting a buddy of mine. He's LAPD. Guy heads up their Nile task force, and he said-Wait, hold it. You've got friends on the Nile case?I could use the smilie again, but I won't.Yeah, I know some guys working on it. Don't get your panties in a bunch. Anyway, we're having a drink, shooting the breeze, and he mentions Hotel Dusk. Then he tells me about some scuzz named Louis DeNonno who's working there. Seems Nile's been looking for this mope.Mope (noun): 1. a person given to prolonged spells of low spirits. I don't think Louie fit that description, at least not anymore. That doesn't make sense. Louie's small time. Nile wouldn't care if he lives or dies.Well, three years ago a stiff turned up near a warehouse in Manhattan. Some kid named Danny was up to his eyeballs with Nile, and he got himself offed. NYPD wrote it off as gangs or Mafia or the like. Hell, you know the drill: no witnesses, no leads, nobody ever brought in.What's this got to do with Louie?I'm getting there, Hyde! Relax, will ya?! You sound like my ex sometimes... Anyway, seems your boy DeNonno's right in the middle'a all this. The night Danny got aired out, he was the bagman for a buncha payoff scratch. 'Course, when Danny boy buys it, the bribe money vanishes. Word on the street is Danny was buddy-buddy with your pal, Louie. And here's where it gets good; after Danny cashes out, Louie vanishes. POOF! So now Nile wants their money bak, and this kid's the only lead. They been looking all over hell and breakfast, and now we think they found him.They must really be on the hunt if they tracked him to this dive. So if they know where Louie is, why's he still breathing?They think he's a patsy. Think there's somebody else calling the shots, pulling the strings, ya know?Nile... Never thought I'd hear that name in this place.Total coincidence.I don't know... You think so?Don't think so. Know so. Oh, and I got another tidbit for ya. The Nile money that Danny was carrying when he got smoked? They got the cash by fencing stolen art.  Could be. Yeah, he may have some dirt on Bradley we never heard. Tell me something, Hyde. You find the stuff on the order sheet?Taken care of. Don't worry about it.Good. Business before vengeance, ya know? Har har har! Anyway, I'll be in touch. (Louie's friend was involved with Nile? I think Louie and I need to have a little chat.)(??? Where is Louie? ???)<--White Question  Music: Monochrome Now we have to look for Louie. The rooms are locked and there's no one in the linens and utility closet. As we descend down the stairs...    Hey, it's you! Music: Hangover Blues Got a sec?Whatcha need?Music: Rainy Night  As always, we'll ask the questions from the top. No, I didn't forget anything. Why did you ask? Who's Jenny? Who's Jenny?...Jenny?Where'd ya hear that name?!Little bird told me.Why the hell ya asking me about Jenny?! Ya ain't been pokin' around my office, have ya?Music: Drunken Waltz  Someone ransacked my office! Was it you?Nope. I was too busy stealing towels from my bathroom.Don't get smart with me, pal! I know ya was in my office!I knew there was somethin' wrong about ya! You ain't welcome here!Pack up and get the hell 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: 2 Melissa: 1 Iris: 1 Martin: 1 Dunning: 1 Everyone Else: 0 Who knew asking Dunning the questions from his office will make him think we were in his office! Especially since he didn't lock it! The reason I showed this here instead of the alternate timeline is because this is one of the spots people got a game over in. Asking questions from the top has been the norm for most players that they did that on reflex. ...No, I did not do that my first playthrough. We still have two more questions. Music: Rainy Night What's with Dec. 5th? You know anything special about December 5th?...December 5th?Fifth day'a the twelfth month. What of it?Nothing, I guess...What's goin' on, Hyde? Why the hell ya askin' me about that?Ya ain't been pokin' around my office, have ya?Then it goes to the 'Drunken Waltz' link until the game over. We can pick retry to get us back to the point before we talked to Dunning but screw that, we're using savestate. Read note So, what're ya reading?Write note So, what're ya writing?Show men's magazine That ain't mine.Show cash That all the cash ya have? Good thing I keep prices reasonable 'round here.Show crowbar, screwdriver, pliers, memo, or small red box No, I'm not going to do that. Remember WHERE we got those items. For some reason Rosa is fine with them, though. Where's Louie? Where's Louie?DeNonno? No idea. And speakin' a'him, Rosa let me in on yer secret. Told me you and DeNonno are old friends.In a way.Look, there's something I need to talk to him about.That so? He SHOULD be helpin' t'get the restaurant ready. So he's either in the kitchen or loafin' in his room. I'd put a sawbuck on which...That's quite an employee you have there.Damned if I don't know it!If he ain't in the kitchen, I'm sure you'll find him in his room. I'd go grab him by the scruff'a the neck m'self, but I'm a bit tied up. Go see what ya can find, will ya?Music: Hangover Blues We done here? Good. I'll see ya around.Dunning finishes talking or mumbling or whatever he does and walks away. Music: Monochrome  Knob Another annoying part of this game: forcing the players to examine the door and the knob to get to the other side. Thankfully going back only requires tapping the door icon.  We'll find out what lies in this hallway and where Louie is next time! 1234567890num fucked around with this message at 12:41 on Jan 3, 2018 |

Music: Monochrome (Map) Music: Straight Chaser (Examination) Let's explore this hallway.  We can knock this door, but let's explore everywhere else first. If you don't care about exploring just scroll until you see Louie's face. There's 2 doors on the left and 3 doors on the right.  Knock I bet everyone here made an agreement not to answer the door. Knob The bottom left door leads to the pantry.    I'll number the top left cabinet '1' and continuing to the right. Yes, all of them have their own description. Boxes on top There are more cardboard boxes on the shelves. Cabinet 1 Canned fish? Guess that's all they can afford. Cabinet 2 A can of thyme. Now that's just silly. No one needs that much thyme. Cabinet 3 There are boxes full of supplies here. Not very interesting, actually... Cabinet 4 Boxes filled with canned foods. ...Reminds me of my place. Cabinet 5 Boxes of foodstuffs? Guess this is where they belong. Cabinet 6 Cans of whole tomatoes? If I shook 'em up, could I make ketchup? Boxes in front of cabinet 7 & 10 There are some big, big cardboard boxes stacked here. Cabinet 8 I should raid this place later tonight. I could eat for a year. Cabinet 9 I see canned vegetables. Never was much into those. Cabinet 11 Hey, some dusty boxes. Detective work is so exciting. Cabinet 12 Some big cans of food. For the man with a hearty appetite. Bags on right Looks like some bags of grain. Never can have enough fiber, huh? Boxes on right It's a bunch of dirth cardboard boxes. I bet they belong to Louie. There's still more things to examine in this room.    Stuffs on left That's a big pile of all kinds of stuff. Or so my detective senses tell me. Cabinet 1 Looks like a small bag of food. I can't identify it. Cabinet 2 I see two blue cans. ...That's a nice color for a can. Cabinet 3 It's a blue can. Maybe it's full of blueberries. Cabinet 4 Looks like canned fish. A tuna sandwich sounds pretty good right now. Cabinet 5 Cardboard boxes full of canned goods are sitting here. Cabinet 6 It's a small bag of some kind of food. Cabinet 8 Boxes of beer... I'll have to remember where these are. Cabinet 9 There are two small bags of food stacked here. Cabinet 12 A box full of beer... Lucky box. Boxes in front of cabinet 7, 10, & 11 There are some white cardboard boxes stacked on top of each other. The boxes in front of cabinet 11 aren't white!  See the door up there? It's locked and it doesn't have anything interesting comment.    Left freezer It's a commercial-sized refrigerator. Bet you could hide a body in there... Right freezer It's a commercial-sized refrigerator full of meat and vegetables. We go down through the path slightly visible on the second pantry picture.  We'll talk to Rosa later.    Freezer That's a big refrigerator. ...Wonder if they got any bodies in there.    Fryer They've even got a deep fryer. I'll have to get some onion rings later. Stove Guess you need a big range to cook for a restaurant. Ovens Those are a couple of huge microwave ovens. Bottle There's a wine bottle next to the microwaves. Upper box This is where they keep their supplies. Lower box It's jam-packed with all kind of foodstuffs.    Table Kitchen's clean. That's a load off my mind... Shelf It's a shelf for spices. Left can It's some kind of seasoning. Don't ask me... I can't cook worth a drat. Middle can It's a can of sauce. I bet it tastes like sawdust. Right can It's a can of ketchup. ...Who puts ketchup in a can, anyway? Case There's a case full of forks and knives. Bottle There's a bottle of wine on the counter. Left plate It's an empty dish. Right plate There are a bunch of dishes on the counter. Looks like Louie's running behind.    Get ready for plenty of flavor text. Boxes left of cabinet It's a bunch of cardboard boxes stacked neatly in a corner of the room. Cabinet 1 There's a box of foodstuffs on the shelf. Cabinet 2 I see lots of canned food. Guess we're ready if the Soviets drop the big one. Cabinet 3 Looks like a bunch of canned food. Cabinet 4 Canned vegetables? I was hoping for fresh picked. Cabinet 5 Looks like lots of canned foods. Cabinet 6 There's some canned fish here. I haven't had that in forever. Cabinet 7 Cans of whole tomatoes. How appetizing... Cabinet 8 More canned foods. Hope I don't have to eat all of this. Cabinet 9 That's a big can. Must have a whole side of beef stuffed in there. Cabinet 10 Boxes of canned foods. Wonder if Louie has to lug these around. Cabinet 11 More boxes of foodstuffs. Guess I should have expected that. Boxes right of cabinet There are more boxes in the corner of the room. Boxes in front of cabinet There are some cardboard boxes stacked here. Bags in front of cabinet It's a small bag of flour.  Flour The bag's torn, and some flour spilled out. Bag near wall It's a large cloth sack. Wow, that's fascinating. Boxes in front of fridge It's a bunch of cardboard boxes tossed into the corner. Boxes left of fridge There are some white cardboard boxes stacked here. Fridge There's a big refrigerator in the corner of the room. That's all to examine in the pantry and kitchen. Let's finally talk to Rosa.  Music: Hangover Blues Got a minute?What do you think you're doing? Stop! You can't come in here! This is the kitchen! It's off-limits to guests! That means you!Music: Rainy Night  Read note What're you looking at?Write note What're you writing?Where's Louie? Where's Louie?You mean Louis? HA! He's not here! Lazy slacker!Probably in his room wasting time or hiding under the bed or something.Where's his room?Go out of here and take a left. Can't miss it. Smells like cheese.Music: Hangover Blues Are you done? You're done, right? Please go. My kitchen's a busy place, and I'm a busy lady. Always working, working, working...And if we try to leave through the bottom... Where do you think you're going? Stay out! Out! I mean it! The restaurant's not ready yet!Music: Monochrome (Map) Music: Straight Chaser (Examination) Now let's check the other rooms from the left hallway.  Knock All I'm doing is bruising my knuckles. Knob The bottom right door leads to the laundry.    Bottle I'm no scientist, but I think that's a bottle of bleach. Shelf There's a shelf above the vending machine. Left machine Now that's a big washing machine. Guess hotels do a lot of laundry. Right machine The washing machine's empty. Drawer There's a wooden cabinet next to the washing machine. Cart The linen cart's full of dirty sheets and whatnot.    Trash can Garbage can's empty. At least Louie did something. Table There's nothing on the ironing board. Iron Looks like a heavy iron. Rosa's arm must be huge. Drawer It's a wooden cabinet. Rack It's a hanger rack. Hanger It's a hanger.    The 4 machines and bottles will be numbered from left to right. 1st machine It's a big washing machine. Maybe I'll clean my socks later. 2nd machine Nothing inside the washing machine. 3rd machine It's an industrial washing machine. 4th machine There are some sheets in the washer. Hope they're mine. 1st bottle There's not a lot of detergent in here. 2nd bottle I bet this is bleach or some kind of stain remover. 3rd bottle It looks like a cleanser of some sort. 4th bottle It's a jar of cleanser. It looks homemade. That's a scary thought.  Knock Nobody's responding to my repeated pounding on this door. Knob The middle right door leads to the electrical room.    Locker There's a locker in the corner of the room.    Right switchboard There's a cover on the switchboard. Left switchboard This switchboard is covered in dials and knobs and crap.    Right switchboard This switchboard is covered in dials and knobs and crap. Switchboard cover It's a switchboard cover. Left switchboard The cover of the switchboard has been taken off. Knock Knocking is proving to be an exercise in futility. Knob The top right door leads to the boiler room.    Barrels It's some kind of storage tank, and it's creeping me out. Box It's a wooden box. Yippee.    Boiler It's a small boiler. This must be why there's no hot water in this place. Wheel It's equipped with a big handle.    Boiler It's a boiler. Wheel It's equipped with a big handle. That's every other room we can examine. Let's take a look at the new descriptions. Music: So Noted       The left part of the first floor has been updated except for that door from the pantry. Let's FINALLY talk to Louie. Louie's room is in the upper left. This must be Louie's room. Knob Music: Straight Chaser  Got a second?What d'ya want, man?We need to talk, and I don't want any extra ears. Especially not Rosa or Dunning....Like I got a choice. C'mon in, man.I enter Louie's room.

I added the descriptions for the items that I forgot to post for the last few updates. The map is also added.Thesaya posted:"We can knock this door, but let's explore everywhere else first. If you don't care about exploring just scroll until you see Louie's face." Yeah... Funny how that works out...  I was actually planning to put the exploration with the previous update, but it's just too much to not put in its own update.

New Music: Resolution  What gives, man? Why you gotta come in here?We need to talk.Yeah? Well, you might wanna talk, but I don't wanna listen.I told ya, man, I wanna leave everything in the past. So just...leave me alone, dig?Can't do it. I gotta talk to you, Louie.Aw, man! What now? You gonna hassle me about old times again or what?When I mentioned Nile, you looked like you were going to be sick. Why is that, Louie? Speak up. I can't hear you. Too bad, Louie. Oh, you'll talk to me. Oh, you're gonna talk. You'll talk, or we'll go 'round and 'round. I AIN'T TALKIN'! Kick me around or whatever. Makes no difference, man.I know the score, Louie.You don't want to tell me your dead pal was neck deep in Nile's business. That's it. Isn't it?Wha-? Dammit, man! How'd you know that?! Yes, that's a red question. It means that this is serious business, if the new music didn't tip you off already. I got bad news, Louie. Nile's looking for you. What is it? That's what LAPD says. That's the straight skinny from LAPD.Man! Why this crap gotta happen now? When your boy Danny took the big sleep, a lot of cash went missing. Nile thinks you have it. Thinks you bolted town with a briefcase full'a dough. Keep calm, Louie. Did you take the money? So did you boost the dough or what?Get off my case, man! Nile thinks you're a patsy. And until they know who the big man is, they'll keep watching you. You hear what I'm saying?...They're not gonna kill me? At least, not right now?That's it, right?That's it....This is a trip and a half, man.New Music: On The Rocks  I won't show the reactions for notes and items now since it'll break the flow. I'll show it at the end of this update. Who killed Danny? I think I know who killed Danny. I don't think Louie is the type to kill anyone. I don't think it was you. It wasn't you, was it?'Course not! There's no way I'd kill him!So who was it?C'mon, man...Talk, Louie. If you didn't kill Danny, who did?...It was J.J?Yeah, that's what Danny called him, all right? J. Unlike previously when we always ask questions from top to bottom, for interrogations we'll pursue each line of questioning until the end before moving on. Who's J? Who's J?Some cat what works for Nile. He and Danny used to run together.Ever met him?No. Just heard about him from Danny.Said J was some kinda insurance-fraud pro. He'd get an art collector to insure something for a ton of cash, yeah? Then Nile would steal the piece, and the insurance money would roll in. When it was over, Nile sold the art back to the mark for big money. Danny was baggin' the money from one of those sales.Was Danny working with J when he got whacked?That's what he told me. Why was Danny killed? Why was Danny killed?...He got suckered.Suckered?Yeah. Danny was gonna lift this angel painting from Nile's hideout, ya know? Well, that ain't exactly right...It wasn't his idea to boost the painting. It was J's.What's the angel painting? What was this angel painting?No clue, man. That's just what Danny called it. Some big painting he found in Nile's warehouse. He was crazy 'bout the stupid thing. Said it was worth a fortune. Said if we could score it, we'd be set for life. Cars, clothes, babes, everything.Ever see the painting?Naw, just heard Danny run his mouth about it.Who stole the money? I bet I know who stole the money Danny was carrying. Louie would've fled the country if he actually took the money, not hiding out in some hotel. I don't think it was you. And it wasn't you. So who took it?Man, it was... It was the guy who killed him!Why'd you leave the city? Why'd you leave the city? Let me guess. Since he didn't stole the cash, that leaves one answer. 'Cause Danny got killed. Was it because Danny got killed? Had to get outta the city 'cause your buddy got cut down? That why you left? Why you fled a crime scene?Don't tell me that had nothing to do with your little cross-country trip....Had everything to do with it. We had a plan, ya know? A good plan. If Danny's job went OK, we were gonna blow outta there.Drop everything and run?Yeah... Least, that was the plan.Why?I'll tell ya, but you won't get it. Danny and me were a couple'a poor suckers from the street. No family, no nothing. Just two punks with no future.Problem is, neither of us had the nerve to make it as big-time crooks.So... We were gonna go someplace else, ya know? Become new people with new lives. Yeah... What a couple of losers, right?What happened?We needed some serious bread to get outta the city. Danny was gonna get the money by doing one last big job. I tried to stop him, man. Told him it was too risky. But he wouldn't listen...He always was an idiot.What was the job? So what was the big job?At first, it was just lifting this painting, yeah? But things started gettin' outta control fast. He started talkin' about takin' all kinds of art stuff they had stashed.He wanted to steal Nile's entire collection? Not smart.You tellin' me, man?But look, Danny didn't come up with this on his own. He was just sucked into J's plan.J's plan...Music: Resolution (Shakes his head)...What?You don't get it, do ya? You don't understand a damned thing! Not about Danny, and not about Nile. You're a total washout, man.You sayin' you do?Yeah, man. More'n you at least!So enlighten me, Einstein. Tell me how smart you are.  Music: Rainy Night Night Danny died? I was trippin' out 'cause he never showed at the restaurant, right? So I head over to check out Nile's warehouse. Soon as I walk up to the door... BANG! Somebody inside fires a gun. I duck down, scoot over to the door, and take a peek inside... Know what I see, man? Then I look past him... It's Danny. Guy shot him dead. That was three years ago. December 24th, 1976. I'll never forget it.The guy who shot Danny...It was J. Danny was just lying there, bleedin' and cryin' and... dyin'. But I had nothin', man. No gun, nothing. Just had to wait for J to split.By the time I got to Danny... Too late, man. Guy could barely talk, but he managed to tell me one thing... Said he'd been tricked. ...Said J was a cop.Then he actually apologized to me. Said he was sorry he couldn't get us the money. Dammit, Danny......Louie.Officer Hyde... What ya told me earlier in the lobby? You know, about workin' the Nile case? The part about the guy working undercover's what done it. I figured it out, man.What?Music stops Look at this picture.   The guy on the right... Music: Rainy Night You dig? You get it now? ...It was YOUR friend, man. YOUR partner.That's who killed Danny! The cops used him, man. Just a tool in their little investigation. They used him, and then they killed him when they didn't need him anymore!And nobody cared, right? Just some dead street punk. What's that worth to the cops? Nothin', man. Less than nothin'....Your partner gettin' shot on the docks? That was justice, man.He screwed up his case and got popped by Nile. Got what he deserved. That's the reason ya got canned, ain't it? Your partner blew it, and the Nile investigation went out the window.Music stops ...No.No? What d'ya mean, no?I mean you're wrong. About Bradley... Nile didn't shoot him.But...I did.Music: Insomnia  Bradley was a busy boy. He double-crossed a lot of people. Including the police.When I heard, I went after him.Music: Midnight    Music stops Bradley took a dive in the Hudson. Body never turned up. I took the heat for the shooting and quit the force.But...New Music: Violet Sky  That's a crazy story, man. That dirtbag... He screwed everybody, didn't he? Even you. You must really hate him. Wait...you don't think he's dead. Do ya?I get it, Officer Hyde! Yeah, I get it now! THAT'S why you're some loser salesman! You're looking for J! I mean, Bradley.(Nods)Wow... What a trip... Listen, Officer Hyde, why don't we team up?Team up?If your story's on the level, Nile's watchin' me and they want me dead. And I've never even smelled their drat money! Your partner framed me good, man. It's all his fault.So if Bradley's still alive and kickin'? I say we grab him and hand him over to Nile.You serious?Yeah, man. Now that we're on, like, the same team... I'll do whatever, ya know? Just give the word.Lemme think on that, Louie. I'll talk to you later.Kyle exits the room.  (Why the hell would he do it? Could it be this angel painting? Did he betray us all for a drat piece of canvas? Bradley... OK, hold on, Hyde. Take it easy.)(I gotta get my ducks in a row here...)We'll do the quiz next time. For now,here's Louie's reactions. Read note What ya lookin' at?Write note What ya writin'?Show crowbar Planning a little B&E, Officer Hyde?Show men's magazine Now THAT's what I'm talkin' about! Awwwooooooo!!Show cash I hear you, brother. I could use more of the green stuff, too.
