Well, this is about as niche as any game on this 列表 will get. Ever since I got Phoenix Wright for my DS, I was always interested in 更多 mystery games for the handheld device, stuff like Professor Layton and Ghost Trick. But… I never got to play either of those games. But one I did get to play was one that was very unique in its style, known as Hotel Dusk: Room 215.
Hotel Dusk follows the protagonist, Kyle Hyde, an ex-detective and now salesman who visits a small hotel in Nevada known as Hotel Dusk, where room 215 is 说 to make your wishes come true. As he explore the hotel, he hopes to find clues pointing to his missing partner who was involved in a massive heist years ago. The game has all the characters drawn in these rough sketch art, and yet it really looks nice for the DS. Sure, the rest of the game is the typical 3D plane graphics of the DS, but the sketch art really makes the characters stand out. The story is also really gripping, with each character having their own backstory to them and their own plight, with each one following a sort of theme of betrayal, where they either betrayed someone 或者 they felt they were betrayed themselves, and it makes each character interesting, some 更多 than others, sure, but they all have a unique character to them that makes them worth looking into. And the puzzles are so much fun in this game. 你 got a few simple ones, but as the game goes on, 你 get a ton of crazy difficult puzzles that 你 need to solve. They are tough, but if 你 use your brain and think hard enough, you’ll have the puzzle figured out in no time. All it takes is doing some thinking (Or a walkthrough). Some of my 最喜爱的 puzzles are having to connect the dots to get a code for a combination 或者 having to solve the puzzle in a computer to escape a death room. That last one really puts 你 on edge and makes 你 want to get through it as quick as possible.
Hotel Dusk is one of the few games that I wish got 更多 recognition. It’s a classic among mystery games, and yet no one talks about it like Ace Attorney 或者 even Ghost Trick. It did get a sequel, but never released in America. Guess I gotta cough up a few dollars to get an English version from Europe.
