Hotel Dusk

I like it - reinforces the interactive book feel. Gets uncomfortable after a while mind.

I dont understand. do you hold it like a book? if so thats landscape not portrait no?

[NekoFever]

Yeah, you hold it so that the two screens are orientated vertically, as if it was an open book. Brain Age did the same thing. It can get a bit uncomfortable after a while but a quick reposition of the hands usually does the trick.

Am I right in what I've heard that there are multiple paths... or different things happen in the game depending on your questions and answers? So playing through again could take you down slightly different sidepaths?

Not so much as mutiple paths rather than mutiple endings. Conversations themselves are pretty linear, and giving a wrong responce will eventually lead back into the same road as the correct one. It is said that if you can avoid getting red flags (when you say something wrong a wave of redness goes over the character) you can get a different ending. I am currently replaying the game on this very same quest, so I'll report back in.

Hehe, ive been playing this on left handed portrait, it was so uncomfortable, but i got used to it, then i realised i could flip it to right handed, and now i hafta get all comfortable again. Grrr..........

Im still stuck on the 1st chapter, im tryna take me time on this cos i sense it will be somat special. I always do this with games i have a special bond with.

currently stuck, but im sure ill figure it out soon. Did notice somat about the still life paintings though, hmmm..........

Started it off last night when I was a) distracted b) tired. Probably not the best way, but eh

Agree with the sentiments about running a bit of a gamble with making the lead character not so likeable, but he's not lost me yet and I'm still expecting good things from this. The art is f'ing gorgeous, if nothing else.

Well.. My Hotel Dusk looks to be having an issue.. on Chapter 3 where you go to the restaurant.. you pick up the doll off the chair then move to the center table to eat apparently. I picked up the doll when i was playing late last week then left the room and saved. Now when I go back in Helen is stood there and is continuously finishing her food. Nobody answers any of the doors.. tried 219 to give melissa back her doll but nothing. Examining all the tables in the restaurant does nothing, been to every room ever to see if anyone is about to kick off the cycle again or something but nobody is Broken :/

anybody else had this problem ?

Have you got the pen/read the message on it yet

Oh yes. It wouldn't be an adventure game if it didn't have one utterly obscure, non-sequitor of a clue / puzzle that you must pass to make the story progress!

If you want a hint, highlight this spoiler:

->Open Spoiler<-

go outside the double doors to the restaurant and examine the chalk board.

If you need more help,

->Open Spoiler<-

examine the chalk at the bottom right corner.

I know!

[reektan]

haha im gonna go have a look at this now.. almost as vague as some of the sections in LTTP !

->Open Spoiler<-

Just did the bit where you use the pen on the 2 bits of chalk and find a message..

i'd have never ever worked that out :/ Crazy puzzle
