Hotel Dusk: You can check out any time...

But you can never leave.

The Year's 1979. You play Kyle Hyde, a burnout detective on the search for an old, backstabbing, partner.
Your next stop is quite eery, Hotel Dusk. You can sense the traces of Bradley, but he's nowhere to be found.

"With Hotel Dusk, it's definitely a noir-esque theme. But being that it's in '79, it's much more modern than that."
-Tim O'leary (localization writer)
hotel_dusk_room_215_e3_20060511.jpg
In Hotel Dusk, you walk around in a 3D world.
A diary can be accesed to write notes with the stylus. If a person tells you to meet them at a specific place and time, write it down in the diary for a quick reminder.

Another big part of Hotel Dusk, is interacting with other characters.
The dialogue has been localized by Tim O'Leary and Alan Averill, so translation shouldn't be a problem.

Another thing that I'm sure all of you like, is the art style.
I'm not aware of who is doing the art, but it's pretttttyy nice.

Hotel Dusk: Room 215
Developed by: Cing inc.
Published by: Nintendo
Awesome: Very yes

    For you, inthegray:

    hotelduskawesomejm5.jpg

    The game looks beautiful in motion, and I'd buy it for the art style alone. The fact that it's an adventure game that looks to be in the old point-and-click vein makes it even tastier.

    I don't recognize the names. Should I? Are they from another project or something?

    I actually didn't recognize them either, I think they did Trace Memory.

    Looking forward to this, even though I am having a hard time getting into Trace Memory. Mostly this is due to massive backlog, but it is also paced glacially slow IMO at the start.

    Hotel Dusk looks great though.

    Tim O' Leary does a lot of Nintendo localization. I know I've seen his name in the credits of Nintendo games plenty of times. Can't think of specifics though.

    And this comes out late January right? I'll be all over it. Trace Memory was great, albeit really short.

    Not that I really care, just an observation.

    I never finished Trace Memory. Which is kinda sad since it's apparently like a four-hour game.

    $18k a year without moving expenses.

    Apparently without a degree they really had no confidence in paying me more, regardless of how well I can translate or write. :P

    Wasn't enough to relocate to Redmond to, so I said fuck it and am getting my associate's, then trying again.

    The ESRB website says its rated T as well. Looks interesting none the less.

    Yes. Yes. This game is completely awesome looking. And I will probably never get to play it unless some extra money just comes my way. :(
