Introduction [BeefInt]
===============================================================================
Hello. How are you? Fine? Nice! I figured I would tell you some things about
the document you're viewing right now, so that there will be no
misunderstandings between us. Ok, this is a walkthrough for Cing's Hotel Dusk:
Room 215, which is a game developed and released for the Nintendo DS. The game
is kind of an adventure game, where the focus is set on solving mysteries and
interacting with other characters. There are already several walkthroughs out
there for Hotel Dusk, since the game has been available in North America for
several months. I did however, get the European version just recently. You know
how it is here in Europe -- games don't come as fast as in the US.
Oh well, yeah, this walkthrough can be used to to guide you through the whole
game -- from beginning 'til end. It does not however, contain the whole game
script, and it does not list all the conversations that were crammed into the
game by the developers. You see, sometimes, there are several things you can
ask a person in Hotel Dusk. This walkthrough doesn't list all of the choices -
it goes with the ones that won't get you a nasty GAME OVER screen. Sometimes
there are several correct choices, sometimes not. In other words, this
walkthrough guides you from the beginning 'til the end in a fashionable way.
In many situations there are alternate ways of doing things, but as said above,
the goal I've set with this walkthrough is not listing every single bit of
information that can be found in the game. You can of course, reach me at mail
if you've got something you think absolutely has to be added to the document.
With that said, I'll recommend checking out the next two sections - Controls &
Overview and Gameplay Basics. If you haven't been playing Hotel Dusk a lot
earlier, some hints and tips should be at their place.
===============================================================================
Controls & Overview [BeefCon]
===============================================================================
There is one very big difference between Hotel Dusk and most other games
released for the Nintendo DS. It's the way you're supposed to hold the system
while playing. While in most games, you hold the DS in your hands so that the
touch-screen is placed below the upper screen. In Hotel Dusk however, you will
be holding the DS so that the touch-screen is placed right of the other screen.
Just like when you're holding a book -- the touch-screen will, if we think
about the DS as a book, be your right page, while the other screen will be your
left page. You walk around by holding your stylus in the direction you want to
walk in, and you interact with people and objects by touching them.
When talking to someone, Hyde will appear on one of the screens, while the one
he is talking to will appear on the other screen. When walking around, you'll
see a map on the touch-screen and a three-dimensional overview on the other
screen. Both screens are used all the time, so keep an eye on both of them!
Also, if you're left-handed you can also play the game without problems, as the
main menu lets you select a 'left-handed' option. So, the bottom line is, that
Hotel Dusk can be played by using the stylus, and nothing else. If you want to,
you can move around using the directional pad, but doing so is honestly less
comfortable, considering the way you need to hold the Nintendo DS while
playing the game. Read more about icons/actions in the next section.
===============================================================================
Gameplay Basics & Hints [BeefBas]
===============================================================================
- Walking Around: On the right screen you will at all times, when not talking
to someone, see a map with icons on. The red icon is Hyde, while other
persons get other colors. The map covers every single object, like tables,
beds, lockers and vending machine. On the left screen, things are all 3D.
While the map is well-structured, and makes it easy to navigate, the
inclusion of 3D graphics on the left screen is a nice feature. You will be
using your stylus to walk around at all times, by simply pressing the map.
- Talking to People: When you touch somebody on the map, you will start talking
with them. In most cases, there will be questions that you can ask the
persons you are talking to. Most questions can only be asked once, so make
sure you read everything that's being said. Also, when talking to people,
Hyde will also get new questions, who quickly fly over his head, then
disappears. These questions can either be asked to the person you are
currently talking with, or to someone else when you meet them later on.
- Pressing People For Info: A lot of times, triangles will appear while you're
talking with people. If you press this triangle, you will usually get to ask
the person a question. Usually, you can choose one out of several questions.
If you chose the 'wrong' one, you might get a GAME OVER screen, so try to
avoid that. Also, small things might change depending on what questions you
ask the characters in the game. This walkthrough does not list the outcome of
every single question -- it takes you from the beginning to the end in a
reasonable way, without going into details like giving you all the dialog in
the game or anything like that. I will however, never lead you to GAME OVER.
- Examining Things: You should always examine things like lockers, papers and
machines. To examine something, touch it's icon once on the map, then the
game will zoom onto the item in a 3D perspective. Touch the object you want
to examine in this 3D view to find out if there is something you can do with
it, if you can grab it, or interact with it in any other way.
- Using Items: You will use a lot of items in Hotel Dusk. For example, if you
see a locked suitcase, you should try using a suitcase key on it. To use
items, simply select the bag icon on the right screen to get an overview over
Hyde's inventory. From there, you can select whatever item you feel like
using. You can also take a look, or read about some of the items this way.
- Notebook: Hyde has a notebook with him at all times. There is a icon for this
notebook, next to the bag/inventory icon. In the notebook, you can draw and
take notes of anything. Stuff like dates, names, deals you want to remember
and so on should be noted down. In some cases, NPCs will use your notebook to
show you drawings or notes they've made themselves. You seldom need to use
the notebook, but I recommend taking notes of stuff often.
- Questions, Items, Brackets: In this walkthrough I've put some brackets around
questions that you can ask, and items that you find for the first time.
Questions you can ask people {look like this}, while first-time items are
marked [like this]. See? Two different kind of brackets. This is just to make
it easier to find important stuff without having to read every single bit of
text I've typed down. Easier for you, easier for me. We both win ;D
- Maps in This Walkthrough: Each time you enter a new area, as in a room or
corridor you have not been in before, you will see a map at the top of the
section describing what you need to do in that area. The maps are rough
sketches made with ASCII, showing you what important things can be found in
each area. The important items, objects etc. have been given letters. The Map
Legend which is included near each map explains what each letter means. The
maps might not look fancy, but should help you a lot! I think!
===============================================================================
Frequently Asked Questions [BeefFaq]
===============================================================================
Q: First of all, does this walkthrough contain spoilers?
A: Yep, but in the main walkthrough, I won't spoil anything before it happens.
Q: Tell me what the number on the torn memo I found in the Main Office is.
A: You got to draw the lines on the memo manually to find out, since the
number you get by doing this isn't always the same.
Q: What's the number I get when I add all the star sticker numbers together?
A: Again, this number isn't always the same -- start counting sticker numbers.
Q: Where are the seven star stickers located?
A: Front Desk, Lobby, Central Hallway, Dining Room, Restaurant, Bar, 2nd Floor
Hallway. Take a look at the 'extras' section for more specific locations.
Q: Tell me how to get all of the endings!
A: This game is filled with different endings -- most of them aren't very
different from each other. Depending on your actions during the main
game, you will get one out of several endings. Explaining how to get all
of them is out of this walkthrough's scope.
Q: How do I get the coins that are needed to operate the vending machine?
A: In Chapter IV, show Dunning your cash after Jeff has stopped talking about
something that has been stolen from him. Dunning will give you the coins.
Q: What happens when I enter the star stickers number on the vending machine?
A: On your first playthrough you get a pinkie rabbit doll. On subsequent
playthroughs, you will get a lipstick. Give these items to people to make
them either happy or irritated.
Q: Dunning gives me game over when I run downstairs in Chapter IV!
A: You need to put the three tools back into the toolbox in the linens room,
and leave the Room 217 Key, Small Red Box, Stack of Cash and Memo in Hyde's
suitcase. Now you won't meet Dunning when running downstairs.
Q: How do I get more pages in my notebook?
A: By making progress with the storyline. You start out with only a few pages,
but as you play, you will get more and more of them.
===============================================================================
Characters [BeefChr]
===============================================================================
Kyle Hyde (Room 215)
--------------------
This guy is you, and you are him. Kyle Hyde is the main character in Hotel
Dusk. Being an ex-cop, Hyde now works for a company named Red Crown. He's a
salesman, but also helps his boss Ed find things that don't want to be
found. Hyde's real goal is to find his partner from the force Bradley, who
betrayed him several years ago. Hyde arrives at Hotel Dusk after being told
to go there and pick up some things for Red Crown. Things get complicated,
and suddenly, he's in the middle of a noir detective story. Kyle likes strong
beverages, doesn't let anyone get too close to him, and sneaks around a lot.
Louis DeNonno (Has his own room in the left hallway)
----------------------------------------------------
This chap is usually called Louie, and works as bellhop, receptionist and
bartender at Hotel Dusk. Hyde knows him from earlier, when he was a street
punk robbing people back in the city. Louie says he's clean these days, and
that he's stared a new and better life. The other hotel employees does
however think that Louie is a lazy, hopeless slacker. Louie likes young
girls, and falls in love with Mila the instant he meets her.
Dunning Smith (Has his own room in the right hallway)
-----------------------------------------------------
Dunning is the hotel owner. He bought Hotel Dusk some years ago, after the
place went bankrupt because of some bad rumours that were going around at
the time. Dunning is a penny-wise man who loves hockey games, but hates
guests who sneak around in corridors. Dunning doesn't spend a lot of money
on keeping the equipment in the hotel rooms up to date. Dunning can bust you
for a lot of stuff, so you'd better watch out for him. When he's in a good
mood, Dunning is a great guy to have a chat with, though.
Rosa (Has her own room in the right hallway)
--------------------------------------------
Maid and cook, Rosa knows a little bit of everything. She takes Mila under
her wing when the poor girl arrives at the hotel, and makes great steaks.
Rosa is also a huge fan of Martin Summer, and collects autographs. She's got
about fifty of those. Rosa often has to do Louie's tasks, but manages to
cope with it. Cleaning and cooking are Rosa's two specialties. Rosa's weak
spot is that she tends to run her mouth, saying things about people,
spreading rumors that aren't always of the good kind.
Mila (Stays in Rosa's room)
---------------------------
A mysterious girl with long black hair and a cute face. She seems to be mute,
but attracts both Louie and Jeff. Mila arrives at Hotel Dusk without any
luggage or money, after being picked up by Jeff. Jeff leaves Mila once they
arrive at the hotel. Rosa takes Mila under her wing, and lets her stay in her
own room. Since Mila doesn't speak, Hyde communicated with her by letting her
draw and write in his notebook. Hyde believes Mila is somehow connected to the
man he has been searching for all these years, Bradley.
Martin Summer (Room 211)
------------------------
A man that doesn't introduce himself before Hyde realizes that the package
Louie brought him from Red Crown isn't from Red Crown at all. Summer is the
one that got Hyde's package. He might not look like it, but Martin Summer is a
novelist and the author of one of the best-selling books ever released in the
states. Martin has a thing for trying to find out what kind of persons the
people around him really are. If he's good at it or not, you'll see yourself.
Helen (Room 212)
----------------
An old lady with a patch over one of her eyes, Helen wants to stay in Room 215
when she arrives at Hotel Dusk. Unfortunately for her, Hyde is already
occupying the room. This old woman likes to take a drink, and enjoys speaking
with Hyde about various subjects. She's not very good at walking anymore, and
needs help to get up and down the stairs leading to her room. Once a master in
her profession, Helen doesn't have a good relationship to her family.
Jeff Angel (Room 213)
---------------------
Mister Angel is a man in his twenties, and pretty good looking. He picks up
Mila when he sees her walking on the road, and brings her to Hotel Dusk, which
is where she was walking to in the first place. Jeff is a little weird in
Dunning's opinion, since he doesn't always react when people talk to him. In
addition, he is short-tempered and seems to avoid talking with Hyde. The other
guests don't like Jeff a lot, but he doesn't seem to mind that a lot.
Melissa (Room 219)
------------------
This is one of the first persons Hyde meets at Hotel Dusk. Melissa is a little
girl that is staying in the hotel along with her daddy, Kevin. Melissa likes
playing with puzzles, but seems to have a lot on her mind, and cries pretty
often. She doesn't think Hyde is a bad person, and asks him for help many
times throughout the game. But what is Melissa really doing at the hotel? She
doesn't even seem to know herself.
Kevin Woodward (Room 219)
-------------------------
Kevin is a surgeon -- a real sawbones. He's a pretty pale man, and seems to be
worrying a lot about something. He doesn't let his daughter Melissa walk
outside of the hotel room without being accompanied by himself, and doesn't
have a very long fuse. Kevin is your typical nervous guy, and would have been
a perfect addition to a dark, scary horror movie. But is he really a bad guy?
Iris (Room 216)
---------------
This woman is also staying at Dusk. She's got a special attitude, and thinks
that she's a little more worth than everyone else. Iris easily gets upset, and
believes that Hyde is a rude fellow, talking too much and asking too many
questions. While it's sure that Iris likes to take a good drink, no one seems
to know why she is staying at Hotel Dusk, or where she comes from. Did I
mention that Iris looks better than anyone else in here? I did? Good!
===============================================================================
Chapter I - 5:00 - 5:30 PM [Hyde100]
===============================================================================
It's been three years since Kyle Hyde quit the police force in New York. Now
he's working as a salesman for a company named Red Crown. In addition to
selling, Hyde helps his boss finding certain items -- items that don't always
want to be found, as Hyde calls them. As you might have guessed, our friend
Hyde is the main character in this game. You are him, and he is you. It's going
to be this way throughout the whole game, so you'd better get used to him.
Anyway, Kyle has been assigned to check up on an old hotel named Hotel Dusk. On
his way there he sees a beautiful girl walking on the road all alone, but
doesn't stop to ask her about anything. Instead, he drives directly to the old
hotel. Tap the front door to enter the hotel.

As you can see above, I've made a map that shows you what is placed where in
the Front Desk area. If you're using this walkthrough to lead you through the
game, you'll find a map like the one above each time you enter a new area. It's
much easier to lead readers to the right places when showing them a map in
addition to telling them where to go, don't you think so too? But let's get
this started, shall we? On your left side there is a dart board, a pinup poster
and a star sticker. The only important thing here is the star sticker, since
all star stickers are related to a sidequest where you need to find all the
stickers in the hotel and add the numbers on them together. But hey, we'll get
back to that later. Right now, you want to play the main game, right?
Walk over to the reception, and examine the television there. There is a note
hanging on the TV, saying that it is operational between 7 and 9 PM. This
means that you can't watch television right now. Instead, examine the bell on
the counter. Tap it with your stylus a couple of times to call the owner here.
As you can see, a yellow triangle icon appears when the owner starts talking.
Later in the game, you should try touching these triangles. When you do, and if
you do it before the icon disappears, you will be able to ask the person you
are talking with one of several questions. Try it on the owner when the
triangle icon appears. You can either ask the owner, who says his name is
Dunning Smith, about the maid Rosa, so do that. Continue talking to him until
he offers you a suite. It doesn't matter what you tell him here -- you will end
up in the same room no matter what. Dunning gives you a pen so that you can
register yourself as a hotel guest. Take his pen and use the stylus to fill out
the form. Don't worry though, no real names are used here!
Dunning seems surprised by Hyde's name. Try asking him {What's your Problem} to
find out that there was a guest with the same name staying at Hotel Dusk some
months ago. Weird, isn't it? Anyways, take the [Room 215 Key] that Dunning
gives you after he's stopped talking. Now, try asking Dunning {What Story} to
find out that there is a rumor going on about Room 215, which is where Hyde
will be staying. Apparently, people have had their wishes granted while
staying in Room 215. Grab the [Hotel Brochure] that Dunning gives you. Now
you've got three main questions that you can ask Dunning:
+-------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| | MAIN QUESTION TIME - DUNNING |
| {I'm waiting for a package} +-----------------------------------+
| --------------------------- |
| Dunning hasn't seen any package yet, but will tell the bellboy to |
| take a look for it, and give it to Hyde later on, when the package |
| has been found. Dunning also says that there better not be anything |
| troublesome about the package. If you ask him {What trouble?}, |
| Dunning explains that there was an incident some time ago, with |
| policemen, a gunfight and so on. |
| |
| {What won't you talk about?} |
| ---------------------------- |
| Dunning talks about the other guest who had stayed here at Hotel |
| Dusk with the same name as Hyde. This dude was tall, thing and |
| blond. Hyde thinks this sounds like his old partner, Bradley. The |
| thin man stayed here six months ago, Dunning recalls. |
| |
| {My room grants wishes?} |
| ------------------------ |
| There's been several people who have changed totally after staying |
| just one night in Room 215. Is the wish-granting rumor not fake |
| after all? |
| |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Alright, take a look at the map above. Your next destination is the Lobby, just
left of the counter where Dunning is standing. Try heading over there now.
Someone stops you. This someone is an old lady with a patch on her right eye.
The old lady doesn't want to talk with Hyde right now, so head north to the
Lobby instead. Getting familiar with the controls yet? I hope so!

+----------- F -------------------------+
Examine the vending machine in the right corner of the room, close to the door
leading into the main office where Dunning has been watching TV. You will need
some coins to actually operate the vending machine, and you don't have those
right now. You'll get them later in the game, but don't worry about them for
now. Also, on the back of the vending machine there is another star sticker, as
well as a note explaining that there are seven different star stickers in the
game. If you find them all, and add the numbers on them together, the note says
you should return here and input the number to get a prize. You don't have to
do this, but it could be fun, don't you think? Now go left from the vending
machine. Hyde starts thinking about what Dunning said earlier. Thinking is
good, but what you need to do now is go left into the Central Hallway.

As you can see on the map, there is a sticker on the wall in the southern part
of the central hallway. West from the hallway, there is a restaurant named the
Moonlight Grill, and a hallway. Those two doors are locked, by the way, and you
can not open any of them right now. So, after examining the sticker, and maybe
noting down the number on it if you have already started getting serious with
them, head north to the stairs there. Start walking up to the second floor. A
little girl is blocking the path though. She's completing a puzzle in the
middle of the stairs. Wow, kids and their toys never learn.
Start talking to the girl, asking her if {something's wrong}. The kid doesn't
really feel like talking, so ask her {why won't you tell me} when you get the
chance. The kid says that her mom told her not to speak with strangers,
especially not jerks like Hyde here. Now, choose to {give her a break}. The kid
says that her mom isn't here and that she can't finish her puzzle. Ask her
about {a puzzle, huh?} then tell her that you can help her with the puzzle.
Now you will enter puzzle mode! There are arrows in the left and right corners
of the screen. Those are used to rotate the currently selected jigsaw puzzle.
There are just a few pieces you need to rotate and place at the correct
location, so this is not hard or anything like that at all. The final result is
supposed to become a pink rabbit, fantasy-animal, or.. some creature.
This kid is fantastic though; she's still not satisfied even though you helped
her. She gets mad and runs away. In her hurry, she drops a [puzzle piece]. Pick
it up and walk to the top of the stairs to arrive at the second floor, where
almost all of the guest rooms are located. Well, yours is, at least!

Walk around a little until someone comes out of Room 213. It's a man that
looks a little confused. A young dude. Ask him if {he's ok} to find out that
his name is Jeff, and that he stays at 213. He's one of your neighbors, yeah.
To top it all, his surname is Angel. Jeff Angel, wonderboy deluxe! Ask him
about why he has {no choice} but to stay here. Jeff doesn't want to answer.
You can however, and should, ask him about some other stuff:
+-------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| | MAIN QUESTION TIME - JEFF |
| {Who's the kid on the stairs?} +-----------------------------------+
| ------------------------------ |
| Jeff has heard that the girl's name is Melissa, and that she stays |
| at Room 219 with her father. |
| |
| {Is it too bad I'm not cop?} |
| ---------------------------- |
| Jeff thinks it would be cool to have a cop here at Hotel Dusk. Ask |
| him why he thinks that would have been cool. After all, Jeff just |
| meant that it would be trilling if something happened, and a real |
| gumshoe tried to solve the case afterwards. Useless thoughts. |
| |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Now, if you want to, take a look at the star sticker in the far western end.
Knock on Room 219 to meet Melissa's dad. He says he is busy right now, and
locks the door again. Gah, what a geezer! No fun! Go to Room 215 then, which is
where Hyde has been assigned to by Dunning. Use the key you got from Dunning to
unlock the door, then head inside.

So, what is so special about Room 215, you might say. The answer is that there
is nothing very special about it. Right now there isn't at least. Hyde leaves
his suitcase at the table in the middle of the room, then the phone near the
bed starts ringing. Answer the call like a normal gentleman, ok? Great! The one
calling is Rachel, the secretary of Hyde's Boss, Ed. Rachel isn't sure about
what kind of guy Hyde really is, but still likes him. What a lovely girl.
After Rachel is done talking, Dunning calls the phone as well. Have a chat.
The old man says he wants Hyde to pay for his room -- pay now. Hyde remembers
that he tosses his cash into his suitcase. The suitcase is lying on the table,
so why don't you examine it and use your Suitcase Key to try and open it?
Use the stylus to put the suitcase key into the lock. Unfortunately for Hyde,
the key breaks when you try opening the suitcase. Too bad! Walk around in your
room for some second until someone knocks on the door. Who might that be?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5:10 PM - A Package For Mr. Hyde [Hyde106]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Area: Room 215
The bellhop that was knocking on Hyde's door wants Hyde to help him take care
of the package he is carrying, so grab it using the stylus. There is something
about the way that the bellhop talks, Hyde thinks. Ask the bellhop {you sound
familiar!} then grab his face using the stylus, so that Hyde can get a good
look at the mysterious bellhop. Turns out that Hyde knows the bellhop from
earlier -- his name is Louis DeNono, also called Louie. Hyde hasn't seen him
for three years, then Louie was a thief in Manhattan. Louie says he started to
remember a lot of shit now that Hyde is here, so ask him about {bad memories}.
Louie tells Hyde about how he always used to search the guest lists for names
of people he knew from earlier. He was a real freak show, he says. But, enough
about Louie. Now he wants to ask Hyde about some stuff. Tell him the whole
thing is {kind of complicated}, since that's the truth.
+-------------------------------------+------------------------------------+
| | MAIN QUESTION TIME - LOUIE |
| {You're doing better?} +------------------------------------+
| ----------------------- |
| Louie says he's stopped picking pockets, since it's too risky and he |
| is getting too old to live as a punk. Ask him what happened, only |
| to find out that he won't tell a cop. Too bad -- you'll have to tell |
| him that Hyde quit the force years ago sometime later. |
| |
| {I have a different vibe?} |
| -------------------------- |
| Hyde has changed his way of clothing since quitting the force, and |
| looks a little tired. Hyde doesn't rule the streets anymore. |
| |
| {No guests had my name?} |
| ------------------------- |
| When Hyde checked in, Dunning recognized his name, since there was |
| another guest using the same name six months ago. Louie however, says |
| that no guest has used Hyde's name at all. At least, he can't remember. |
| |
| {What won't you talk about?} |
| ---------------------------- |
| He still doesn't want to talk. Louie, Louie, Louie.. |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Before leaving, Louie wants to know why Hyde changed gigs. Tell him that you
just {hung it all up}. Hyde explains how he shot his partner Bradley and --
that's where he stops explaining. The bellhop leaves after asking Hyde to keep
all the stuff he has been doing earlier a secret from the others at the hotel.
Now that he has left, examine the brochure that is lying next to the phone.
Pick up the [Paper Clip] that is holding the brochure together. Now examine the
paper clip from your inventory and use the stylus to bend it all out, so that
it comes to look more like a stick than a clip. Bending it slowly is most
effective. Now the clip transforms into [Thin Wire].
Put the thin wire into the lock on your suitcase. Start fiddling around with it
inside the lock only to find out that the wire is too thin, and won't be able
to pick the suitcase lock open at all. Oh well, let's think about that later.
Take a look at the package that Louie left on Hyde's bed. There is nothing but
a notebook inside -- turns out you got the wrong package. Well, take the
[Old Notebook] from the package. The notebook has some letters on the outside.
Area: 2nd Floor Hallway
With the notebook in your inventory, head out to the 2nd floor hallway again,
and run over to the stairs. Melissa comes out of Room 219. Melissa is all sad
because she's lost something important, and says that she won't be able to
see her mom now. Interesting.. Ask her {why can't you see Mom?} to find out
that her dad is pretty strict and that he won't take Melissa to her mom
unless she behaves nicely. Put a question to {Going to see your mom, huh?}
then ask her where she lives. Turns out Melissa lives in Santa Monica with
her dad.
After getting all that info out of her, give Melissa the Puzzle Piece she
dropped while playing in the stairs earlier. Once there's no more questions
to ask, head downstairs. If Hyde wants to ask Melissa more questions, go
back up and see her again. The whole thing ends with Melissa saying that her
dad is a surgeon and that her mother is missing. Also, her mother's name is
Grace. After Melissa has drawn a picture of her mom in Hyde's notebook, her
dad comes to get her. Watch them head inside Room 219 again. If you take a
look at the notebook, fourth page, there is now a drawing of Melissa's
mother. Try drawing something of that quality yourself, if you wanna. Head
downstairs and go over to the Front Desk.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5:10 PM - Mysterious Girl at the Front Desk [Hyde107]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Area: Front Desk
There is a girl standing near the hotel entrance. Tap her back to have her look
at you. When Hyde gets a look at her face, he realizes that this is the girl
that was walking on the road when he drove here. The girl doesn't want to talk,
but the maid Rosa, who has appeared behind Hyde, says that the girl does at
least hear what other people are saying to her. Rosa explains that the girl's
name is Mila. Talk to Rosa again. She thinks Hyde looks like a salesman, so ask
her about {I look like a salesman?}. Rosa has figured out that Hyde is a
salesman that doesn't really sell way too much. Ouch, that hurts!
+-------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| | MAIN QUESTION TIME - ROSA |
| {I got the wrong package} +-----------------------------------+
| ------------------------- |
| Rosa says that Louie is a dolt, since he brought Hyde the wrong pack. |
| She also says that she will have Louie look into the whole thing, and |
| that Hyde doesn't have to worry about a thing. |
| |
| {Her name's Mila?} |
| ------------------ |
| There is a bracelet on Mila's left arm, where her name, or at least, |
| someone's name is inscribed. The name is Mila, so, yeah, that is |
| most likely the girl's name, according to Rosa. Hyde thinks that |
| the bracelet looks the same as a bracelet that his partner Bradley |
| used to wear back in the day. |
| |
| {You're going to drop her?} |
| --------------------------- |
| Mila doesn't have any money, so Rosa has decided to let her stay in |
| her room for some time. Rosa says that Mila hitchhiked with Jeff Angel |
| to get here, since Mr. Angel saw her walking on the road. |
| |
| {What guy brought her here?} |
| ----------------------------- |
| You already know the answer to that question, but ask anyways. |
| Mr. Jeff Angel brought Mila here, then he left her alone. Tell Rosa |
| you've met Jeff, then let her answer the Front Desk phone. |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
The one calling the front desk phone is a guest who has received a package that
contains something different from what he was expecting to get. Sounds like he
got the stuff from Red Crown which Hyde was supposed to receive, right? Right.
After Rosa and Mila have left, Hyde remembers that Bradley's kid sister was
named Mila as well. Is this girl the same person? We'll find out!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5:20 PM - Asking Jeff Angel About His Relationship to Mila [Hyde108]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Area: 2nd Floor Hallway
Plod upstairs to the 2nd floor hallway again and knock on Room 213's door. Jeff
Angel is staying there, you know. He might wanna talk to you about Mila, since
he picked her up in his car earlier today. Jeff doesn't know, or rather,
remember who Mila is, since he's too cool for his own good. No matter how cool
he is, ask him if {he didn't know her name}. Jeff explains that he brought her
here because she asked him to. But, as far as Hyde knows, Mila can't speak!
Something weird is going on here. Try finding out about all this by asking if
{She ASKED?}. Apparently, Mila had a Hotel Dusk Brochure, and didn't ask Jeff
by using words. This has to mean that Mila {knew about this hotel}. Mr. Angel
now locks the door and leaves you all alone in the huge hallway. Head left
towards Room 215 now. You'll meet someone before arriving at 215.
The person's name is Iris, and she's living at Room 216 for the time being.
Iris asks for Hyde's name, and says that she just wanted to confirm a hunch.
Ask her what {she's confirming} to find out that she just wanted to find out
what kind of man her neighbor Hyde really is. Tell Iris that Hyde is
{a salesman} when she asks. Iris is relieved, as she doesn't think Hyde will
try and take a picture of her. Weird, huh? Is she some kinda celebrity? Oh
well, someone calls Hyde after Iris has left. It's Louie. Hyde tells Louie
about the package mixup. Louie leaves just as fast as he came. Well, go into
Room 215 now. Maybe Hyde can actually get a rest or something.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5:20 PM - Writing Genius Knocking on My Door [Hyde109]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Area: Room 215
The moment after Hyde has arrived in his room, someone knocks on his door. Open
the door. The one knocking is a man named Martin Summer. He says that he is
lodged in Room 211 for the time being. Martin says he received Hyde's package,
and saw Hyde's name on it. Ask him if he {likes your name}. He does indeed like
Hyde's name, and has brought the package with him here. Tell Martin that you've
{heard about him} earlier. Summers thinks that Hyde might have read one of his
books, so ask him if {he's a writer}. You can tell Martin that you've read one
of his novels to continue the conversation, or say that you haven't, to get
this over with a little faster. No matter what you tell him, he will take the
notebook from Hyde, and you will be taking the package he brought here.
Hyde now puts the package from Red Crown on the bed, left of Martin's package
which contained nothing but the notebook. Examine the new package to find out
that there's a bunch of stuff inside, like an order sheet, some products and a
client list. Grab the [Order sheet] from the package. On the sheet, the things
that Ed wants Hyde to find are listed:
1) A Small Red Box
2) The December Issue of a Magazine With Cecily Lee on the Cover
The [Client List] can also be found inside the package from Red Crown, so make
sure to snag that one with you as well. After getting those two items, use the
phone near the bed to call Rachel, the secretary working at Red Crown. Rachel
says she does not know what's inside the box that Hyde is supposed to look for.
Hyde hangs up, and reminds himself of his boss Ed, who was a cop in Los Angeles
that worked like a hound before he was forced to retire. Ed used to be friends
with Hyde's daddy, who died when Hyde was ten year old. That's it -- now Hyde
wants to ask himself some questions about what has happened this far. Quiz!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

===============================================================================
Chapter II - 5:30 - 6:00 PM [Hyde200]
===============================================================================
Area: Room 215
Hyde wonders about what he should do now that he's got the package and all. He
finally decides to start searching for the red box and the pinup magazine that
Red Crown wants him to find. Head outside to the 2nd floor hallway to find
Rosa. It looks like she's cleaning or something.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5:30 PM - Rosa is Cleaning the Hallway [Hyde201]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Area: 2nd Floor Hallway
Rosa is complaining about that she has to clean, since this is really Louie's
task. She says Louie always disappears when he's supposed to work. In addition,
Louie has told Rosa that he has fallen in love with Mila, the silent girl.
+-------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| | MAIN QUESTION TIME - ROSA |
| {Tell me about Louie} +-----------------------------------+
| --------------------- |
| Rosa does not like Louie at all, and says that she has asked Dunning |
| about getting a replacement for him several times. There are however, |
| nobody else who wants to work at Hotel Dusk because of some stories. |
| Put a question to these stories to find out that the stories date |
| back to when Hotel Dusk had another owner.. Ask Rosa is she can't talk |
| then tell her that you won't push her if she doesn't feel like telling. |
| |
| {How is Mila Doing?} |
| --------------------- |
| If you told Rosa that you won't push her to tell about the hotel |
| rumours, Rosa will then ask you why you are so interested in Mila. |
| Tell her it's because of the bracelet she is wearing, that reminds |
| you of Bradley from the police force. Rosa says that you can talk |
| with Mila in her room anytime after 8 PM. Rosa's room is located |
| east of the Lobby area. Write that down in your notebook, ok? |
| |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Run right after Rosa has left. Hyde hears someone whistling from somewhere. Run
to the eastern end of the corridor and open the door leading into the Linens
Room. Louie is inside, reading a magazine.

That slacker Louie hasn't noticed Hyde yet, so talk to him. He puts the
magazine away, and prepares for answering questions. Ask him if this is Louie's
{hiding spot}, since Rosa told you Louie usually runs away from work. Louie
says he has already cleaned the hallway. Tell Louie that he {is lying}. Louie
now mentions the stories that Rosa was talking about earlier. Maybe you can get
some information out of him? Who knows? Let's try!
+-------------------------------------+------------------------------------+
| | MAIN QUESTION TIME - LOUIE |
| {Stuff gets left behind?} +------------------------------------+
| ------------------------- |
| Many things get left behind by the guests at Hotel Dusk. Dunning keeps |
| most of it in his office at the Front Desk, Louie says. |
| |
| {What stories did you mean?} |
| ---------------------------- |
| A long time ago there was an incident where some guests had heard a |
| little girl crying. When they talked to her, the girl vanished! |
| Louie has never seen this girl, who is said to be a ghost, himself. |
| When it comes to Mila, Louie is all lovey-dovey, saying that she is |
| an angel that has gotten lost. |
| |
| {When was this incident?} |
| ------------------------- |
| Ten years ago, ten years ago. |
| |
| {Talk about the incident} |
| ------------------------- |
| Louie says a man and his girl stopped at Hotel Dusk for a night 10 years |
| ago. In the middle of the night, the girl vanished. Poof, into the air. |
| |
| {A girl disappeared?} |
| ---------------------- |
| The girl was only ten years old, and her father didn't find her again. |
| Not even the next morning. Later, the cops received a mysterious letter, |
| which told them where they could find the girl's body. |
| |
| {Did they find the body?} |
| ------------------------- |
| Even though the latter said where the girl's body could be found, |
| the police never found it. No crook, body, no nothing. The case |
| was left unsolved, and stories about Hotel Dusk started running. |
| Ask Louie if the hotel went bankrupt because of the stories. Dunning |
| picked up the place about five years ago, and that's all Louie knows. |
| |
| {What's Mila like?} |
| -------------------- |
| Louie starts blushing, since he likes Mila so much. Louie says Hyde |
| never had an eye for the ladies, so ask him {no eye for the ladies?}. |
| Louie says that Hyde doesn't know about girls being beautiful, and Hyde |
| says that he doesn't care about small girls. |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Hyde tells Louie that he moved to New York with his mommy after hid dad passed
away, and that he is looking for someone -- Bradley. Louie says he understands
how Hyde is feeling, about dead compadres. Ask him if he {understands?} to find
out that Louie also had a buddy who died three years ago. But, Bradley isn't
dead, or is he? Wanna find out? Continue playing.
Examine the shelves to find the magazine that Louie was reading before talking
to Hyde. The dame on the cover is Cecily Lee. Good match -- this is the
magazine that Red Crown wants! Take the [Men's Magazine] with you. Next up is
the locker near the door. Open it and examine the red box inside. This is not
the small red box that you are looking for, but a toolbox that contains some
stuff you need to take with you: [Pliers], [Crowbar] and [Screwdriver]. Now
that you've got your stuff, head back outside to the 2nd floor hallway.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5:40 PM - Helen in the Hallway [Hyde203]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Area: 2nd Floor Hallway
Hyde wants to check out the office to search for the little red box, but is
stopped by Helen in the 2nd floor hallway. She asks Hyde if he knows when the
restaurant downstairs is going to open. Hyde says it'll open at six. Helen says
that she is staying in 212, but that she wanted to stay in 215, because of the
rumours about people getting their wishes granted and so on. Helen leaves and
walks into 212. Knock on her door to ask her a couple of questions. Ask her why
{stay here?} to find out that Helen has dear memories of this hotel.
Interesting, ask about these {memories}. She doesn't want to talk about them.
Ok, we'll have to dig into that later. So, hop over to Room 215 again, then.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5:40 PM - Hanger Goes Thick Wire [Hyde204]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Area: Room 215
Now that you've got the pliers from the Linens area, use them on the metal
hanger near the door leading out of Room 215. You need to cut the hanger two
places using the pliers. Like on the sketch below. Oh, and please don't diss my
ASCII art skills, I know I'm not the best in the world, but I'm helping, eh?
|

Now you will have a [Thick Piece of Wire], and the hanger will be pretty much
broken because of you mad pliers-using skills. Put the thick wire into the lock
on Hyde's suitcase, which can still be found on the nearby table. Fiddle around
with the thick wire inside the lock until the three squares inside the lock
have been pushed away. Doing it slowly is recommended. Now, the suitcase will
finally open up. There are lots of things in the suitcase, but the only thing
you will need right now is the [Cash]. Grab the cash, then close the suitcase.
Now, select your client list and leave it in the suitcase. Rachel told you to
do this earlier, and we don't want to disappoint such a lovely woman, do we?
With the cash in your pocket, head down to the Lobby to pay Dunning.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5:40 PM - Paying Dunning [Hyde205]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Area: Lobby
Knock on the main office door. Dunning comes out. Give Dunning your cash.
Dunning starts talking about the package mixup that Louie is all behind. Tell
him that {I don't follow you}, just to play it all safe. Dunning wants to make
the whole thing up to Hyde, by giving him free dinner and desert tonight. The
deal isn't bad either. Dinner tonight is Rib Eye Steak with Fresh Garlic
Butter! Rosa is making it -- she's supposed to be a good cook, so you can't
pass this offer. Dunning now leaves the office. Great chance, great chance!
Open the main office door, and head inside to search for the small red box.

+---MO---+------+------------------+ Y - Calendar
First of all, the doors leading into the main office and right hallway are
locked, so you can't open them. Examine the southeastern part, where the
birthday card, log and calendar can be found. Take a look at all the three
objects I just mentioned. The log says that lost and found things are kept in
one of the drawers, the birthday card is addressed to someone named Jenny, and
on the calendar, December 5th has been marked with a red pen.
Now take a look at the Drawers in the western part of the office -- the ones
with a TV ontop of them. There are many drawers under the TV, but the upper
right one is the only open one. Take a look at the files inside the drawer to
find out that someone calling themselves Kyle Hyde stayed at Room 217 at June
30th, 1979. Some months ago, in other words. Now, head over to the drawers in
the southern part of the room. Examine the paper that is lying on the ground,
with the drawers ontop of it. Try pulling the paper out, only to tear it apart.
Hyde gets the ripped apart [Memo]. Now, use your crowbar to lift the drawers,
so that you can get the other part of the ripped memo. You need to lift the
drawers very, very slowly, if you don't want Dunning to come and paste GAME
OVER onto Hyde's face. So, be careful while using the crowbar. Now that you
have the whole memo, you need to use the stylus and draw a line, connecting the
similar icons on it with each other. In the end, when all the similar icons
have been connected, you will have three numbers. The three numbers are seldom
the same, so you'll have to draw the lines yourself, without help from me.
Start with the lowest number, then draw a line to the next number. Once you get
to the last icon of a shape, you should have one digit. Get all three digits,
and input them at the locking mechanism that is found on the upper right
drawer. The drawer opens, so now you can grab the [Small red box] in there.
With the box in your inventory, and the other objects I mentioned examined,
head out of the office, into the Lobby again.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5:40 PM - Louie in the Lobby [Hyde207]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Area: Lobby
Oh no! Did Louie see you when you came out of the office? Does he know you've
looked at Dunning's stuff, and stolen the red box? Tell Louie you were in the
office because of {well..you know, work}. Louie is worried Hyde might have told
Dunning about all the bad stuff he did back in the day. Calm him down by saying
{nah, it wasn't about you}. Tell Louie that {you can trust him}. Hyde starts
explaining how he and Bradley were investigating some art thieves from an
organization named Nile. Louie goes mad when he hears the name, so tell him
that you think he {knew about that, huh?}.
Hyde also says that it was Bradley who was out running after Nile, while Hyde
himself was working at the office. Louie seems to have realized something now,
so ask {that's how what was?}. Before Louie gets to speak, Rosa runs into the
lobby. She tells Louie to start working at once. Well then, have a chat with
Rosa now that Louie has gone away to the restaurant.
Ask Rosa {what's wrong?}. Rosa says that she thinks Hyde knows Louie from
earlier. Smart woman. Tell her that {yeah, I know him}. Now Rosa starts getting
interested in hearing about Louie's past. Now you need to {not tell her
anything} since ratting him out would put Louie in trouble. Tell Rosa that
{she is crazy}. Hehehehe, cool, eh? But seriously, tell her she is crazy. Hyde
now lies about Louie to protect him, saying he used to work at a shop before
coming here to Hotel Dusk. Now, ask Rosa about {Jenny} and {December 5th}. Rosa
does not know anything about either of them. Well, no problem there. After Rosa
has left, Hyde's pager starts beeping. You'd better get back to Room 215.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5:50 PM - Calling Red Crown [Hyde208]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Area: Room 215
Use the phone in Room 215 to call Red Crown. Rachel answers Hyde's call, and
puts Ed on the line. Ed starts asking about Louie, and says that he has been
talking to someone in LAPD. Turns out that Ed knows someone who is working on
the Nile case. For some reason, Ed believes that Louie is somehow connected to
Nile, and that he was friends with someone named Danny. Of course, Danny is
dead now -- killed by Nile. In addition to all this mess, Nile seems to think
that Louie has a lot of money belonging to themselves. Is Louie in danger? You
should definitely have a chat with Louie now, if you can find him, that is. Go
downstairs again. Dunning stops you before you reach the restaurant entrance.
Area: Central Hallway
Now, there are three questions that you can ask Dunning, but only one will
prevent you from getting GAME OVER. Ask Dunning {where is Louie} to find out
that Dunning thinks Louie is relaxing in his room. Now head into the Left
Hallway behind Dunning -- the door is unlocked.

Louie's room can be found in the upper left part of the hallway. Knock on his
door to have him open it. Hyde starts asking Louie about Nile, but Louie does
not want to talk about it. Ask Louie {why not?}. This doesn't give any results,
so tell him {oh, you'll talk to me}. Louie totally breaks, and starts talking
about his friend Danny. Hyde explains that {LAPD says} that Nile is after him.
Hyde explains how Nile thinks that Louie has their money, but Louie says that
this is all impossible. Hyde asks Louie if he {took the money} or not. Louie
screams that he didn't do anything about Danny's money at all!
+-------------------------------------+------------------------------------+
| | MAIN QUESTION TIME - LOUIE |
| {Who killed Danny?} +------------------------------------+
| -------------------- |
| Tell him that you don't think Louie was the one that killed Danny-boy. |
| Louie says that the murderer was called J. Who might that be? |
| |
| {Who's J?} |
| ----------- |
| Louie says that J was an insurance-fraud professional working for Nile. |
| He used to run together with Danny, stealing art and stuff as well. |
| When Danny was killed, he was working together with J. |
| |
| {Why was Danny killed?} |
| ------------------------ |
| Danny was going to steal the angel painting. Or, at least that was what |
| he called the painting. Weird name, yes? It was however, J's idea to |
| steal this painting from Nile's hideout, not Danny's. |
| |
| {What's this angel painting?} |
| ------------------------------ |
| The angel painting was a painting that Danny and J found in Nile's |
| warehouse. The painting was worth lots of money and Danny was crazy |
| about stealing it -- he just had to try, since if he got it, he would |
| be set for life, with cars, babes, everything. A real dream painting. |
| |
| {Who stole the money?} |
| ----------------------- |
| Tell Louie you don't think it was him who stole Danny's money. |
| Louie just says that it was the guy who killed him who stole them. |
| In other words, J was the one that stole Danny's cash. |
| |
| {Why did you leave the city?} |
| ------------------------------ |
| Say that you think Louie left town because Danny got killed. |
| Louie says that it's correct. Danny and him were going to blow outta |
| town if Danny could steal the angel painting. None of them had family |
| or anything, so Danny bet everything on one card -- one last big job. |
| |
| {What was the job?} |
| ------------------- |
| The job was stealing stuff, like the angel painting from Nile's |
| warehouse. This was J's plan, and Danny got sucked into it. |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Louie starts explaining that the night Danny died, he went over to Nile's
warehouse because he thought he'd might find Danny there. Louie heard a gunshot
inside the warehouse. He peeked in and saw Danny lying on the floor -- shot by
his partner in crime, J. This was three years ago, December 24th, 1976. Louie
got to talk to Danny before he died. Danny's last words were that J was a cop,
at the same time as he was a criminal. Is this connected to Bradley?
Take a look at the picture that Louie hands out. The guy in the middle is
Danny, and the guy on the right is J and Bradley. Yes, J and Bradley is the
same person. What a crock. Louie thinks that Nile was the one that shot Bradley
because they figured he was a cop. But, he's wrong.. The one who shot Bradley
was no one else than Kyle Hyde. When hearing about this, Louie gets more
friendly, asking Hyde if he wants to team up with him in the search for
Bradley. You'll talk to Louie about this later on.

Chapter III - 6:00 - 7:00 PM [Hyde300]
===============================================================================
Area: Room 215
At the beginning of Chapter III you will find yourself in Room 215 again. There
is nothing do do here, so try exiting the room, only to receive a call from
Rachel and Red Crown. Rachel asks about who Bradley really is. Tell her that
you {can't talk right now} to make her forget about it. Rachel hangs up the
phone. Huh, wasn't that a weird thing to call for? Asking about Bradley? Oh
well, now you should head out to the 2nd Floor Hallway. Hyde is hungry, so run
down to the restaurant entrance down in the Central Hallway.
Area: Central Hallway
Melissa and her dad are fighting -- well, verbally at least -- down here. When
the little girl says that she hates her dad, ask her if {everything's ok}.
Melissa leaves, and you get to talk to her papa. Tell him that scolding Melissa
is {nothing to apologize for}. The man says his name is Kevin Woodward. He is
working as a surgeon in Santa Monica. When Hyde introduces himself, Kevin seems
to remember something. Ask him {what is it} to find out that he think he's head
the name 'Kyle Hyde' before, some other place. Kevin wonders about what you've
talked with Melissa about earlier. Tell him that you {don't follow}, to find
out that Kevin was worried about Melissa telling stories about her mommy.
+---------------------------------------+----------------------------------+
| | MAIN QUESTION TIME - KEVIN |
| {Why are you asking about her mom?} +----------------------------------+
| ----------------------------------- |
| Kevin is a little disappointed when you tell him that Melissa did |
| in fact talk about her mom. Sounds like there is something going on.. |
| When you get the chance, ask Kevin what it is. Kevin says that all |
| families have their own problems, and that you shouldn't think too |
| much about what Melissa is saying, since she's just a kiddo. |
| |
| {Someone has my name?} |
| ---------------------- |
| The surgeon thinks that one of his patients has a name similar to Hyde's |
| and that he is just confusing the two of them. Kevin leaves. |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Now open the restaurant door, in the western part of the central hallway.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Louie will greet you as you enter the restaurant. He is the one taking orders
from the guests, you know. Hyde orders steak with garlic butter. Louie starts
talking about some of the guest rooms who are messed up, and says that no one
has been in them for six whole months. Ask Louie about {six months}. The rooms
that have been, and are still out of order are 217, 220 and 218.
+---------------------------------------+----------------------------------+
| | MAIN QUESTION TIME - LOUIE |
| {Where's the bar?} +----------------------------------+
| ------------------ |
| The bar is straight down the hall. Louie says that there is lots of |
| good booze there, if not much else. |
| |
| {Room 217 isn't being used?} |
| ----------------------------- |
| No one has been staying in 217 for six months, Louie says. |
| Hyde explains how the man that was using his name stayed in 217 when |
| he was at Hotel Dusk earlier. Hyde then asks Louie to let him into 217 |
| in one way or the other. Louie says he's going to help Hyde to get in |
| there later on. Good job persuading! |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
The desk that Louie is standing behind has a star sticker on it, but since
Louie is standing here, you can not examine it right now. You can do it
later, though, so you might want to take a not of that in you notebook.
Well, follow the restaurant corridor so the southwestern part where the
dining room door can be found. Iris is standing outside, looking a little
shocked. Since she seems so shocked, ask her {what is it?}. Iris says that
something terrible has happened, something that's made her go all depressed.
Go the gentle way and say {depressed? you?} to our little princess.
Apparently, someone has told Iris they hated her. Gosh! Mad stuff! Ask Iris
about {who said she hated you?} to find out that the person Iris is talking
about is Melissa. Melissa has thrown her rag-doll at Iris because of
something. Iris had just asked Melissa who made her doll, then Melissa went
nuts. Tell Iris that you think {she hates kids}, since that's how it sounds.
Keep talking with Iris until she leaves the place. Now Hyde can get his
grub. Head inside the dining room.

As you can see on the map, there is a Star Sticker on the piano in the eastern
part of the dining room. Take a look at it when you're done eating. Is that ok?
There is a doll lying near the south-most table in the dining room. This has to
be Melissa's don't you think? Take the [Rag Doll] with you. Gotta give it back
to your favorite little girl later on, you know. Now sit down at the table in
the middle of the room. Rosa comes with Hyde's food. Eat dinner, then wait for
the desert to arrive at your table. Martin Summer suddenly pops up. He wants to
know if Hyde has seen anything that might have dropped out of the notebook that
Hyde gave him earlier. Looks like Martin is missing something important. Gotta
ask him a couple of questions now, to find out what this is all about.
+---------------------------------------+----------------------------------+
| | MAIN QUESTION TIME - MARTIN |
| {What am I looking for?} +----------------------------------+
| ------------------------- |
| The thing Martin wants Hyde to find is a small bookmark. |
| |
| {What kind of bookmark?} |
| ------------------------- |
| The bookmark is supposed to be small, and have an angel on it. |
| It's a blue bookmark with a ribbon. |
| |
| {What was in that notebook, anyway?} |
| ------------------------------------ |
| Martin asks Hyde if he saw fit to read what was written in his notebook. |
| Tell him you just saw the front cover. |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Rosa shows up again after Martin has walked away. She thinks that he looks and
sounds familiar. Tell Rosa that Martin {is a writer}. Ask Rosa if she {knows
this guy} since she's so interested. Rosa says that she is a huge fan of
Martin, but that at first, she thought he was just a guest with the same name
as the real Martin Summer. Or, not real, but the famous one, rather.
+---------------------------------------+----------------------------------+
| | MAIN QUESTION TIME - ROSA |
| {You're a fan of Martin Summer?} +----------------------------------+
| --------------------------------- |
| Rosa says that Martin's first book was released about ten years ago. |
| She says his first book was named 'The Secret Word'. Ask Rosa about |
| the title of that book. Hyde now remembers that this was the title |
| written on the outside of Summer's notebook. |
| |
| {What's the book about?} |
| ------------------------- |
| The Secret Word is a book about a man who commits the perfect crime! |
| He does so to get revenge on a friend that once betrayed him. |
| The Secret Word was Summer's debut novel, and sold lots. |
| |
| {What about the guy with my name?} |
| ---------------------------------- |
| Strangely, just like Louie, Rosa does not remember a guest signing into |
| the hotel using Hyde's name. The only one who seems to remember is |
| Dunning himself. Why is this? Why is Dunning the only one who remembers? |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Area: Restaurant
Hyde is pretty filled, so a little walk should do him good right now. Head out
of the dining room, check out the star sticker on the desk that Louie was
standing at earlier. Mila is standing near the desk, talking to Louie. Ask
Louie what's going on to find out that Mila wanted to help Rosa in the kitchen.
Rosa didn't need help right now, though, so Mila is just standing around here
doing nothing at all. Try talking to Mila now. She leaves. Talk with Louie
again. The clock moves to 6:10 PM.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6:10 PM - After Dinner [Hyde303]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Area: Central Hallway
Out in the central hallway again, Hyde sees Mila standing in the southern end,
looking at the painting hanging on the wall there. Go talk to her about not
understanding art. Rosa appears behind Hyde. She takes Mila back to her room.
Now try walking up the stairs to the 2nd Floor Hallway. Helen stops you, asking
Hyde to escort her down to the dining room, since she wants to eat something.
Tell Helen that {well.. maybe...} you can take her there. Helen says it's
settled, so now, you'll have to walk her over to the dining room.
Area: Dining Room
Helen wants to take a drink with Hyde in the bar tonight. Tell Helen that you'd
like {a free drink} a lot. Now try leaving the restaurant again, only to be
stopped by Louie. He's found a pen in the dining room, and thinks that the pen
is Hyde's. It is not, though. Anyway, take the [Fountain Pen] that Louie hands
out to you. Louie has to leave again. Follow him into the kitchen, just north
of the dining room entrance.

Rosa and Louie are working in the kitchen. There is nothing they can do for
you, so just ignore them. Examine the bag of flour in the eastern part of the
kitchen. Use the fountain pen on the flour that is coming out of the bag. Use
the stylus to cover the pen in flour. Now use the stylus to slowly rub the
flour off the pen. Do it very slowly, or you won't be able to see what is
inscribed on the then: TO ALAN, WITH LOVE. There is also an alternate method to
find this inscription on the pen. This is done by using the chalk outside of
the restaurant entrance in the central hallway.
Anyway, with the letters on the pen seen, head into the restaurant corridor
again. Louie is waiting at the desk where he was standing earlier. He doesn't
know of anyone named Alan. Go back upstairs to the 2nd Floor Hallway.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6:20 PM - Delivering Melissa's Doll [Hyde305]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Area: 2nd Floor Hallway
Knock on Room 219 to make Melissa come out. She says that her dad is not here
right now. Give her the doll that you found in the restaurant. Melissa says
that her mom was the one that made her the doll. Now, after giving the doll
back to her, ask Melissa about {where her dad went}. Melissa wants Hyde to stay
with her until her daddy returns. Aww.. cute! Hyde agrees to watch Melissa.
Area: Room 219
Speak with Melissa again now that you're inside Room 219. It doesn't look all
that different from your own room, and since there are no special objects here,
I won't bother with a map for his room. Melissa wants Hyde to try out the
puzzle that us lying on the table in the eastern part of the room. Examine the
puzzle now. You gotta listen to kids when they ask you to do stuff, you know.
Well, now you need to put all the jigsaw pieces to their correct positions.
This is pretty easy, and its done the same way as when you helped Melissa with
her puzzle when she was playing in the stairs during Chapter I.
When you've placed all the pieces, Melissa gets very happy! Hyde tells Melissa
that the rabbit on the puzzle is named Pinkie Rabbit. This rabbit used to be on
the television when Hyde was a little kiddo. Melissa says that her birthday is
June 29th, and that her mom once gave her this Pinkie Rabbit puzzle as a
birthday present. Her mom also left her at her birthday, though. Melissa starts
crying because she wants to see her mom again.
Hyde starts thinking about what he saw on the back of the puzzle piece that
Melissa lost back in Chapter I. He examines the puzzle again. Close your
Nintendo DS now. When you fold the Nintendo DS up again, the puzzle will be
laying backside-up on the table. There is a message written on the backside.
It says 'GOOD BYE MELISSA'. Looks like her mother wrote this.
This is getting really interesting for Hyde, but unfortunately, everything is
stopped when Kevin comes running into the room. He starts scolding Melissa for
letting Hyde into the room while he was away. Mean Kevin! Mean Kevin! Ask the
meanie why {his wife left}. Kevin goes all nervous, so tell him that he should
try and not {scare Melissa}. Now you have to leave Room 219. Outside of the
room, Hyde remembers that he promised Martin to look for his bookmark.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6:40 PM - Searching For the Bookmark [Hyde306]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Area: 2nd Floor Hallway
Run back into Room 215. Once there, examine the Martin Summer's box. It's the
one lying on the western part of the bed. Now, use the stylus to turn the box
around. Then tap the back of the box a couple of times. Turn it around again
and check inside of the box. The bookmark is now in there. Use the stylus to
pull it out of the small crack it's half-stuck in. Ok, now you have the
[bookmark] in your inventory. Good going! Head out to the hallway again, and
knock on Room 211, which is where Martin Summer is staying.
Give Martin the bookmark, then ask him {who painted the bookmark}. Martin says
that the bookmark's painting is a reproduction of a very famous painting. The
original was made by a man called Osterzone. Martin wants to use Osterzone's
life as basis for his upcoming novel. Hyde wonders about {who Osterzone was},
so Martin tells him that Osterzone was a British painter from the late
nineteenth century. The angel painting on the boomark is considered to be his
very best work -- a real pinnacle, and it's rumored to have been Osterzone's
last work before he died. The painting is titled 'Angel Opening a Door'.
Ask about the title of the painting, {Angel Opening a Door}. Summer doesn't
have a lot to say anymore, and closes his door after thanking Hyde once again.
Out in the 2nd Floor Hallway, Hyde hears a weird noise coming from Room 218.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6:40 PM - Weird Noise From Room 218 [Hyde307]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Area: 2nd Floor Hallway
Knock on the door of Room 218. You'll hear someone sniffing inside. It's
Melissa. She says she is very, very scared. The door is closed, so you can't
get in. What is Melissa doing in there? Head downstairs to the restaurant.
Area: Restaurant
Louie is standing behind the desk at the restaurant entrance. Hyde asks him if
Room 218 is vacant or not, since that is where Melissa is. Louie says that the
room is indeed vacant and that there is no power in there, because of a broken
switchboard. Hyde tells Louie about Melissa, who is trapped in 218. Louie asks
Hyde if he knows anything about power and electrics. Tell him that you
{know enough}. Louie will now follow you to the electrical room, which is found
in the left hallway, close to Louie's own room. Go there right away.

Examine Switchboard 1, which is the only switchboard that does not have a
cover. Now, use both your hands to flip the two switches inside the
switchboard. When you do, the light will turn on in Room 218, and Melissa will
get happy again. Yahoo! Light's back! Head back upstairs.
Area: 2nd Floor Hallway
When Hyde knocks on Room 218, Melissa says that the door doesn't want to open.
Hyde will now try picking the lock open with his thick wire that he made out of
the metal hanger from Room 215. Picking the lock open is very easy -- just push
the metal knobs slowly, until they are all gone from inside of the lock. Now
head inside and talk to Melissa about what happened.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6:40 PM - Talking Things Over With Melissa [Hyde309]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Area: Room 218
Melissa says that she is in Room 218 because she does not want to hang out with
her daddy Kevin anymore. Ask her if {things aren't going well} with her daddy.
Melissa explains that her dad is lying all the time, and that she won't be able
to see her mommy after all, even if Kevin promised earlier. Hyde says that it
is Melissa's fault that she got locked up in the room -- she reaps what she
sows. Melissa does not know that that saying really means, and thinks that her
daddy doesn't know either. Ask her {why do you think that}.
Turns out that Kevin told his daughter he doesn't know anything anymore. Not
even where Melissa's mommy is or why she went away. Sounds weird. Ask Melissa
if her daddy {knows this place} from before. By the sound of things, Kevin has
been really obsessed with finding Hotel Dusk -- he really wanted to go here,
and searched for the place on a map and everything. Kevin said to his daughter
that they had to go to Hotel Dusk in order to find out where her mom is.
+-------------------------------------+------------------------------------+
| | MAIN QUESTION TIME - MELISSA |
| {Know why your dad lied?} +------------------------------------+
| ------------------------- |
| Kevin lied because he hates to see his daughter sad. Tell Melissa. |
| Hyde gives Melissa a lesson about white lies. |
| |
| {Know why your mom left?} |
| ------------------------- |
| Her mom left, but it wasn't Melissa's fault. Tell her. Melissa |
| explains that Kevin and her mom were always fighting with each other. |
| |
| {Your parents argue a lot?} |
| ---------------------------- |
| When they argued, Kevin always said it wasn't his fault, and Melissa's |
| mother ended up crying, saying that they had to fix the fighting issue. |
| |
| {Let's talk about your mom leaving} |
| ----------------------------------- |
| Tell Melissa that you think her daddy knows about where her mother is, |
| and that he most likely has a plan. |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Melissa says that she once told her mom that she didn't need her, and that she
hated her a lot as well. She said it because she was always fighting with her
daddy, Kevin. Now she tells Hyde about the day that her mom left. Afterwards,
she leaves the room, going back to 219. Head out to the hallway again
Area: 2nd Floor Hallway
Kevin is waiting for Hyde in the hallway. He doesn't know about how Melissa got
locked up a few moments ago. Ask Kevin about {where he was} when Melissa got
locked up in 218. Kevin says that he was on the roof, then he leaves. You can
access the roof from the eastern end of the hallway, so go there right now.
Area: Roof
Iris is standing on the roof. Maybe Kevin has been talking with her? There is
nothing else on the roof, so just go over and have a chat with her. Tell her
that you {just needed some air}. Ask if Iris {needs air too}. Iris leaves.

Chapter IV - 7:00 - 8:00 PM [Hyde400]
===============================================================================
Still out on the roof, Hyde's pager starts beeping. Go back to Room 215 and
give Rachel a call. She must be dying to talk to someone as handsome as Hyde.
Rachel says that Ed has a message. The message from Ed says that it's going to
be some hours until he gets back at the Red Crown office. Hyde asks Rachel to
try and find some information about that painter, Osterzone. Someone knocks on
the door just after Hyde has hung the phone up.
Area: Room 215
Louie is the one knocking on your door. He's borrowed, or stolen the
[Room 217 Key] from poor old Dunning. Now you can sneak in there and see if
there are some clues in that room. Louie has still not heard anything about a
guest named Alan, so he gives the [Fountain pen] back to Hyde again. Head out
to the 2nd Floor Hallway now. Jeff Angel is standing outside of his room.
Area: 2nd Floor Hallway
Talk to Jeff only to have him leave. You don't want him seeing you open Room
217, do you? Thought so, yeah. Well, use the key you got from Louie to open
Room 217 now that Jeff has gone back to his room.

This is the room that the 'other' Kyle Hyde stayed at some time ago. Let's see
if we can find anything out of interest in here. First of all, take a look at
the dresser close to the television. Examine the lighter in there to find out
that this is the same lighter that Bradley always used while in the force. Hyde
takes [Bradley's Lighter]. Examine the two papers that are also found in the
drawer, only to find out that they aren't important at all.
Now then, head over to the northern side of the bed. Examine the painting that
is sitting on the floor all alone. There's four apples and a bottle of wine on
the painting. Take a close look at the right side of the painting. There is an
[Old Photo] lying on the floor. Can be hard to see, but it is indeed there.
There is a man and a girl on the old photo. Run out to the 2nd Floor Hallway.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7:00 PM - Toilet Cash [Hyde402]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Area: Room 215
The door is half-open and there is water on the floor -- someone has broken
into Room 215 while Hyde was sneaking around in 217. Examine the toilet in the
bathroom and pull the handle on it. It doesn't work! See the square toilet
cover above the handle? Use your stylus to remove it. There's a
[Stack of Cash] inside. Haha, a stack of cash in your toilet! Lucky! Hyde's
phone starts ringing, so answer it right away. It's Rachel. Tell her about the
dirty cash you just found, then hang up the phone as usual. Run down to the
Front Desk where Jeff Angel is standing.
Area: Front Desk
Talk to Jeff and ask him if he {needs Dunning}. Right on. Jeff doesn't wanna
talk with Hyde anymore though. Now that you're at the Front Desk and the clock
is 7 PM, you can examine the TV that is standing on the desk. You turn on the
TV by using the rightmost button, and switch channels with the leftmost one.
Right now, there's only a Pinkie Rabbit cartoon and some news airing. Don't
worry about the TV though -- these programs are only small features that don't
have anything with the main game to do. Top top it all, they're not even funny!
Run upside to the 2nd Floor Hallway again.
Area: 2nd Floor Hallway
Rosa is standing outside of Room 211, waiting for Martin Summer. Ask her about
{why she needs Summer} to find out that Rosa wants Summer's autograph. She then
gives you [Summer's Novel] which is a book our little, famous author has
written. The title of the novel is 'The Secret Word'. This was Summer's first
novel, remember? Rosa wants Hyde to get Summer's autograph for her, signed onto
her novel. Heck, the novel wasn't a gift after all. Boohoo! Rosa goes back down
to the kitchen before Hyde gets to tell her he doesn't want to help her. Run
down to the Front Desk to meet Jeff Angel and Dunning.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7:20 PM - Getting Coins [Hyde403]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Area: Front Desk
Jeff and Dunning are talking about something that has been stolen from Jeff.
None of them wants to tell you what the stolen thing really is, and a few
moments later, Jeff runs away. Show Dunning your Cash that you found
in your suitcase earlier. Do NOT show him the Stack of Cash that you found in
your toilet some minutes ago, as doing that will result in GAME OVER. Dunning
gives you some [Coins] back in change. These coins are needed for you to
complete the star sticker sidequest, as you'll need them to operate the vending
machine. So, whenever you've found all the star stickers and noted down the
numbers on them, you can use your coins to operate the vending machine and

Since Jeff was shouting at Dunning some seconds ago, ask Dunning
{what was that all about}. Dunning does not want to talk about it, but try
asking him {what happened} anyway. Our man says that it's just another 'fire'
that he has to try and put out. Suddenly Martin Summer pops up, asking for a
newspaper. Dunning gives Martin a paper. Ok, after Marin has left, ask about
{why Jeff was so angry}. Dunning says that Jeff told him he went down to eat,
and when he returned to his room, something had been stolen.
Hyde wonders about {what was stolen} from Jeff, but Dunning thinks that Hyde
might be the thief! Ouch, such manners, old man. Not good at all. Well, ask him
if he is {gonna play cop}. Dunning ends the conversation now. Still at the
Front Desk, talk to Martin Summer, since he's standing here still. Martin says
that he read that someone named Mr. Damon was robbed in Beverly Hills last
night, and that Damon is a friend of his. Hyde explains that Rosa wants
Summer's autograph, but Summers says that you won't get an autograph if you
don't go see him at his room later. Well, no problem, you can do that! Go over
to the Central Hallway to see Rosa.

7:40 PM - Rosa Cleaning the Central Hallway [Hyde404]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Area: Central Hallway
Rosa is cleaning in the central hallway and stops Hyde when he gets there,
asking if he's managed to get Summer's autograph for her yet. Hyde says that he
doesn't have it yet, and that Martin Summer just walked through the central
hallway. Funny as it is, Rosa says that Summer hasn't passed here at all --
she's been cleaning in the hallway for quite a while and hasn't seen anything
of Martin Summer at all. Rosa thinks Summers might have used the other set of
stairs. Ask her about these {other stairs}, then ask about if {there are more
stairs} here in Hotel Dusk. Rosa explains that you can find the other stairs by
using the right hallway door that is accessible from the Lobby. She does
however say that it's no possible to walk down from 2nd Floor using these
stairs, only up from 1st Floor. This is because the door leading to the stairs
from the second floor is locked on one side. Try to remember, ok? Head over to
the right hallway then, right of the Lobby.

Hyde gets to see the stairs that Rosa were talking about. Run up the stairs to
arrive in the 2nd Floor Hallway. See? It's possible to get up from the Right
hallway, but it's not possible to go directly from 2nd Floor Hallway to the
right corridor. Tricky to remember, eh?
Area: 2nd Floor Hallway
Dunning comes out of the Utility Closes in the eastern part of the hallway. He
looks grumpy, but have a chat with him anyway. Dunning says he was just trying
to find something in the utility closet, but doesn't say exactly what it was he
has been looking for in there. After a while, he mentions that some hotel
equipment has gone missing recently. Ask {what's missing} from the hotel to
find out that Dunning is missing some tools from a toolbox that was kept in the
linen closet. Ooops, we both know what he's talking about, don't we? Dunning
says that some things have been stolen from the main office as well.
On top of it all, there is something else bothering the hotel owner as well.
Ask him if he's thinking about {Jeff}. You were right -- Jeff is the one
Dunning is thinking about. Ask Dunning {what was stolen} from Jeff. Dunning
says that some cash was stolen from Jeff's room a little earlier. Hyde starts
talking about the guest that Dunning said used the same name as him six months
ago. Hyde doesn't get a lot of info from old man Dunning though. After the old
man has left, walk into the Linens room.
Area: Linens
Deliver the Crowbar, Screwdriver and Pliers back into the red toolbox in the
locker. The locker is placed in the northeastern part of the Linens room. Now
leave the linens room and knock on Martin Summer's door -- Room 211.

Talk to Summer about the autograph that Rosa wants. Ask him if he
{likes signing} stuff. Keep talking to Summer and ask him why some things
{never change}. Show him the novel you got from Rosa. Summer says he can't seem
to find his pen right now. Show him the fountain pen that Louie gave you
earlier. Summer says that this pen belongs to him. Ask if {it was his pen}.
Summer says that it indeed is his pen. Weird, you remember that the name
written on it was Alan, right? Ask about {what his name is}. Summer explains
that his real name is Alan Parker, and that Summer is just a fake name.
Now that Summer has his pen, give him the novel again to have him sign it.
Summer now goes to the toilet. Still in 211, take a look at the table in the
middle of the room. There is a notebook there -- the one from earlier. Read
what's written in it. Hyde leaves Room 211 when Summer gets back from the bath.
Area: 2nd Floor Hallway
Try running downstairs to meet Iris in the stairs. She says that Dunning just
searched through her stuff, suspecting her for stealing Jeff Angel's cash. Run
back to Room 215 and leave your Stack of Cash, Room 217 Key, Small Red Box and
Memo in your suitcase. It is also important that you've put the three tools
back into their toolbox in the Linens room. Now try and run down the stairs in
2nd Floor Hallway again. If you forgot to leave the items I mentioned, you will
meet Dunning and get a GAME OVER screen. If you remembered to leave all the
stuff, you won't even meet Dunning. Run into the kitchen now.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7:40 PM - Giving the Autograph to Rosa in the Kitchen [Hyde407]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Area: Kitchen
Talk to Rosa who is standing in the kitchen. Ask her why she {is so trilled}
about getting Summer's autograph. Rosa explains that she collects autographs,
and that now, she has fifty of them. Give her Summer's Novel with the autograph
on. Rosa says that Summer has a special way of writing signatures. Ask her
{how is his signature special} to find out more in regards to that statement.
Rosa says that the special thing is the 'ER' in 'SUMMER. She now shows you the
signature. Nice handwriting, Summer. Hyde asks Rosa when Summer's book was
first published. Rosa says that it was released in 1969, ten years ago. She
also says that Summer's other novels never really took off, compared to his
first one. Hyde asks if Martin Summer is a pen name, or if it's real. Rosa is
sure that Summer is the writer's real name. Go back up to Room 211.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7:40 PM - Fake Writer [Hyde408]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Area: Room 211
Hyde starts asking Summer about how to write a best-selling novel. Summer says
that this is something completely impossible. Tell Summers {but you did it..}.
He now gets angry because Hyde read his notebook earlier. Hyde points out that
the handwriting in the novel isn't Summer's own writing. Tell Summer once more
that this is a {different handwriting} to make the conversation continue. The
next thing you need to tell Summer is that you don't think {his name is Alan}.
Summer goes on about how hard it is to make a novel. Time for more questions!
+-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------+
| | MAIN QUESTION TIME - MARTIN |
| {Why are you so angry?} +-------------------------------------+
| ----------------------- |
| Tell Summer that you think he is so angry about Hyde looking at the |
| notebook because the handwriting exposes him. Summer says that he had |
| someone send him the notebook. |
| |
| {Who sent the notebook?} |
| -------------------------- |
| Summer has no answer. No answer at all. |
| |
| {Who is Alan?} |
| --------------- |
| Still no answers. |
| |
| {Who wrote the novel?} |
| ----------------------- |
| Ask him who really wrote the novel. Summer says that he wants Hyde to |
| come up with proof on the fact that Summer isn't the real author of the |
| novel. Hyde asks Summer for his signature. After Summer has written down |
| his signature, Hyde takes a look at the notebook. Use your stylus to |
| draw a circle around the 'ER' parts of 'SUMMER'. There are two signatures |
| so you will have to make two circles. Back to questions. |
| |
| {Who wrote the novel - redux} |
| ------------------------------ |
| Summer goes all 'gaaaaah' (no, really, he does). On to the next question. |
| |
| {How do you know Alan?} |
| ----------------------- |
| Summer asks Hyde who has hired him. He thinks it might be someone named |
| Dan, or maybe his publishing company. Summer admits that the novel |
| was not written by himself. Summer now tells a long story about how he |
| wanted to be a novelist when he was young. He soon found out that this |
| dream was about to slip away, since he didn't have the talent required. |
| This was when he met the man named Alan. Alan and Martin were the same |
| age, and got to be
