The art style in this game is just phenomenally cool. I'd still be playing if the battery wasn't charging. Such an interesting story, and the main character Kyle is a refreshing character to play as in a Nintendo game. Anyone else playing, played or thinking about playing this game?

I'd like to play this game, but first I'd have to find it.
Hey, I have a blog! (Actually being updated again!)

The story was very refreshing like you said and very intricate. I was personally taken back by the ending. I hadn't a clue the story arc was going to take the turn of events it did. Excellent development, great cast of characters, very film noir.

Funny how that turned out. And after recently purchasing Brain Age, I've found I really like holding a DS sideways... It's a very different feel from vertically arranged games.
tldr; probably going to buy this soon.

Let me second this. More games need to have their characters look like crinkled-up pencil-sketches. When I first turned it on, and saw the opening where Kyle is driving down the highway in black and white, then as he locks eyes with the girl he's passing, time slows down and the scenery fills with color for a few fleeting seconds, I knew I was in for a treat.

I got the one where
It is slow and plodding, and I get stuck on the dumbest shit imaginable. Right now I just am wandering around the hotel with now idea where to do, and the last 45 minutes of gameplay has been dull beyond the point of imagining.
Does this say more about me than it does about the game? Quite possibly. But since I have instituted a NO GAMEFAQS policy I'm a lot more severe on games that I feel leave me hanging.

There was really only one point in the game where I was so stuck I needed to check a FAQ.
...unless you're at the spot where the old lady finally left the cafeteria and you're left to wander and every door you go to has nothing interesting behind it.

Well either I'm there, or you're smarter than me. Thanks for rubbing it in.

Wait, are you at the part with
Because that sounds like the section you're on and that part was kind of stupid.
IIRC, you're there. It's the game's one flaw - one part leaves you aimless and it's hard to figure out what to do.
Puzzle-wise there was some very creative stuff also. Frustrating moments as well, but not so much that it hampered the game. I had to look for answers a few times and felt like a dummy when i did.

No I got the pen, I'm just after that.
Shit. I would really like to get past where I got stuck, but I got stuck there like a month ago so I don't know if I can describe my situation really well.

now I restarted with new game + and I'm already tired of the slow dialogue rate. But by God I'll replay this because I love it the first time, even if there were some really, really, really dumb parts.
Assuming they have an entry for Hotel Dusk (they must).

"Oh, hey kid. You left your puzzle piece on the stairs."
"Take my pen. Just don't steal it."
It would be an awesome movie if you replaced the entire story with something with slightly more going on.
i'll admit the end of the game does get pretty intense, storywise. But the beginning, good lord it's boring.
They're still around? I used to use them for the Monkey Island games when I got stuck.
Yes, I was an impatient little kid.
Turn it into a noir piece.
I didn't say "translate the game moment to moment". I said "adapt".

The music that plays during the chapter recap quizzes, stupid as they were, is some of my favorite video game music ever. I don't know what it is about it, I just somehow find the combination of the baseline and the percussion almost hypnotizing...
I've filed him beside all the awesome characters that share my name.
...Okay, it's just him and Kyle KAtarn.
I like his name.
It's a good name, huh?

Really? What's your name?
I've been thinking about picking this up recently, if only to encourage people to think outside the box more when making games. Not that I'm saying every game needs to be a revolution (I like the Zelda series, so that should tell you something), but I always love seeing new ideas.
I laughed really hard at this.
I don't know if you meant that as a joke, but ooooooh man.

Yes, it was a joke.
