Introduction [Intr011]
======================================================================


About me
----------------------------------------------------
Greetings fellow gamers. My name is Zac, but I usually go by the
message board name of psylentnight. I love video games. I've
been playing them ever since I can remember. This is the first
FAQ I have ever written for a game. I have written a few reviews for
gamefaqs.com, but I'm trying to branch out I try to target games that
don't really have reviews and now I will try to target games that are
available to me and don't have FAQs. If you find any inconsistancies
in my guide I welcome you to e-mail me with corrections or to notify
me with errors at [email protected] . I also welcome CONSTRUCTIVE
criticism as this is my first guide and will most likely make errors.
If you try to e-mail me to tell me how bad I am at writing or how crappy
this guide is I'll probably just stop reading and delete the e-mail.
If you provide me with corrections or additions to the guide then
I'll be happy to give you credit in the guide if you would like me to
do so. Thankyou and I hope this guide provides usefull to all who read it.






About the game
-----------------------------------------------------
Hotel Dusk: Room 215 plays out as a point and click
exploration/adventure game in the style of a film noir. There is a
lot of dialogue in the game and it is certainly not for everyone.
Fans of other games such as Trace Memory and Pheonix Wright will
probably enjoy this game.It is quite lengthly and can take some
time to beat.






About this guide
------------------------------------------------------
When you are having conversations with the other characters in the
game you'll be able to branch off the conversation which can sometimes
result in a game over if the wrong choice is picked. I will be showing
readers the path I took to complete the game. If readers feel that I
left certain things out that need to be in this guide I once
again welcome all to e-mail me and I will update the guide accordingly.

======================================================================
Playing the game [Play011]
======================================================================

Hotel Dusk: Room 215 can be played entirely with a stylus. Once you
choose the left or right-handed style, you'll hold the DS sideways
accordingly. When walking around freely your character will show up
as a red circle with an arrow pointing in the direction you are looking.
Press the stylus in the direction you want to look or move on the touch
screen. The other screen will display what you are looking at in a
first person perspective as you walk around. When you are in front of
something you can examine, your magnifying glass will light up to show
you can examine the area. When examining an area, you can usually
examine multiple objects in that area. Click on an object while in
examination mode to see if you can examine it further. If it lights
up, it means you can click itagain to find out more about the object,
if not, then you can not find out anything further. Sometimes you are
required to move an object or take it. The game will usually give
hints with what you are supposed to do with an item if you need it.


The other big part of the game is interrogation. You'll need to
speak to a lot of people in the game. As the conversation progresses,
the person you talk to will say something you'll want to know more
about immediately. This can be easily identified by words with
red coloring in their statements. A yellow triangle may appear
on the touch screen for you to touch and make a choice between two
questions. This isn't always necessary and can just change the
dialogue a little. The other type of questioning is what is known
as pressing. The person you are talking to may say something you
want to know more about, but Hyde will just make a mental note
about it and a question mark will appear in the top left corner of
the screen. When the person you are talking to is done speaking you
can choose to press them on the question or leave them alone.

You also carry a bag with you at all times. When walking about you
can open it up to do various things including: Save or load, see
information about characters you've met, See the items you've obtained,
write a memo with your stylus, or check the map.

This game is quite a doozy so if you're ready
its time to play Hotel Dusk: Room 215!



======================================================================
Chapter 1 December 28th, 1979 5:00-5:30 P.M. [Chap011]
======================================================================


Entering The Hotel
-------------------------------------
After watching the opening sequence you'll learn a little about the
main character of the game, Kyle Hyde. He's gone to Hotel Dusk to
pick up a package for his boss, Ed. Open the door to the hotel by
hitting the handle. Kyle will comment on the condition of the lobby
and wonder if Ed's package has arrived. Make your way over to the
front desk and examine it. You'll notice a few items scattered about
the desk. If you examine the tv and look at the note on the side
you'll see that the TV operation hours are from 7:00 to 9:00 PM.
Go ahead and examine the bell and ring it a few times to get the
attention of the hotel owner.




Speaking To Dunning
-------------------------------------
He'll yell at you from the back room thinking you were Rosa, the
maid. Here you can question him or just let the conversation continue.
Questioning him will give you the option to say "What a charming voice."
or "Did you call me Rosa?" Choose the 2nd option and the owner explains
that Rosa is the maid. The owner will introduce himself as Dunning Smith
and Hyde will comment that Dunning seems grumpy. Hyde will request a
room and Smith will try to offer him a suite. Regardless of what you
choose you'll end up getting one of the cheap rooms. Dunning will
hold out a pen that you need to click on and then a card will appear
for you to fill out. Just touch each section of the card to complete
the task. After filling it out, Dunning will react a little surprised
when seeing your name on the card......Has he seen your name somewhere
before? You'll get to question Dunning again. This time you can say
"You like my name?" or "What's your problem?" Choose the 1st one and
Dunning comments on how he's seen plenty of it in the phone book.....
Sarcastic bastard. He'll hold out your room key 215. (now where have
I heard that number before....doh) Hyde will notice the word "wish" on
the key. Dunning explains that every room in the hotel has a name and
Hyde comments on how he thinks its stupid. When Smithtells Hyde he isn't
surprised a man like Hyde wouldn't like his story you can question him
yet again. Choices are "What story?" and "You think you know me?"
Stick with the 1st option. Dunning says that room 215 is the place
"where wishes are granted." Dunning then hands you a hotel brochure
with a map. How nice of him. I Didn't know it was so hard to get
lost in a hotel hehe. Dunning will tell you how to get to the room
and when the bar and restaurant open and close. He also tells you the
checkout time. You can write these down in your memo if you don't want
to forget. He'll ask if you need anything else and you can askabout the
package you are supposed to pick up and about history behind your room.
Go ahead and ask about the package to which Smith will reply that he
doesn't have it. He'll comment on how he doesn't want anything in his
hotel that will cause problems and you can question on that statement
with "What Problems?" or "Mind your business, pops." Go with the
first option and Dunning will talk about how another man got a package
and will say nothing more. Next ask Dunning about the story behind the
wish granting room. Smith will tell another story and Hyde will call it
nothing more than a fairy tale. Finally ask about the trouble with the
package. After the story Dunning will let you go.




Heading For The Stairs
-----------------------------------------
You can explore the front area a bit if you want. If you look left
of the dart board you'll find a sticker with a number written down on
it. As you exit the front you'll hear the front door open and an
elderly lady with an eye patch will walk in. She'll ask Smith for the
wish room, the same room you're in. She'll be dissapointed to learn
someone else, namely you, are staying in it and accept another room.
If you try to talk to her she'll tell you that she's trying to fill
out paper work and to properly introduce yourself later. In the
lobby there is a candy machine on the right side of the room.
If you examine it and rotate to the far right you'll find something
posted on the side. Reading it will tell you about seven lucky numbers
hidden in the hotel and if you calculate the sum and input the answer
into the machine you'll get a prize! ooooooo prize gimmie gimmie.
Looking to the far left of the machine will reveal a sticker. As
you walk towards the central hallway on the right side of the room Hyde
will have a flashback of your conversation with Dunning and wonder why
Dunning reacted to your name. Exit to the central hallway on the right.
You can either go left or right here. If you go left uou'll get to a
dead end, but can find another number on the wall to the right of the
painting. The restaurant is closed at this time so you can't enter
there for now.




A Troubled Young Girl
------------------------------------------
Go up the 2nd floor stairs and you'll find a girl sitting on the
stairs blocking your path. She won't budge when you tellher to
move so you can question and your choices will be "Is something
wrong?" or "Move you brat!" Go with the 1st answer and she'll
continue to give you trouble and call you mister. Your next
options are "why won't you tell me?" and "Mister? Seriously?"
Choose the 1st again and Hyde will scare the girl by saying he'll
tell her mother. She'll become afraid and your new choices are
"Ha! She's agraid of Mom!" and "Oh, give her a break." This time go
with the 2nd. The girl will finally tell you that she can't finish
her puzzle. Press her about the puzzle and she'll get upset. When
the new choices come up offer to help her. You'll have to place
five pieces to finish the puzzle. You can rotate them left or
right so they fit. Its pretty simple to figure out. You should
have no problem with it. She'll be upset that she couldn't do it
herself and wreck the puzzle. When she runs off she'll leave a
puzzle piece behind so go ahead and pick it up. Note how there is
something written on the back of the piece. Now would be a good
time to save if you haven't yet. Its never good to get through
part of the game just to start over again right?




Meeting Jeff Angel
-------------------------------------
Once you're up the stairs move left towards your room. You'll stop
when you notice someone coming out of room 213. Question him
immediately to say hello to the troubled looking young man. You'll
introduce yourself and the man will say his name is Jeff Angel.
Hyde will ask about how often Jeff stays at the hotel and he'll say
never and that he had no choice. Press him on that statement by
choosing the 1st statement "No choice, huh?" Jeff will become
somewhat defensive and when you say you're not a cop he'll say that's
too bad. Ask him about the kid on the stairs first. He'll tell you
her name is Melissa and she is in room 219 with her father. Ask him
about cop question next. You'll almost immediately get another
question. Ask why it would be cool to have a cop and Jeff will
explain that the hotel is set up like a "cheap TV crime drama."
After a little more talking Jeff will step back into his room.
Continue walking left until you get to room 215 (your room) and hit
the door symbol on the bottom of the screen. Check your bag for the
key click on the doorknob to open the door.



Entering Room 215
--------------------------------------
Once in the room, Hyde will think about the fairy tale again and
remark that he still thinks its a load of bull. After you put
your suitcase on the table the phone will ring. Walk inbetween
your bed and the bathroom to reach the phone. Examine and pick
it up. Rachel will be on the other end. Some banter will go
on back and forthand she'll try to dig up your past. You'll
learn about some new products in the package you're supposed
to get and Ed's orders are to try to sell them. She'll also
mention a client list included in the package. You'll end the
call and Hyde will comment about Rachel. Next, examine your
suitcase and use the suitcase key in your bag. It will break
and Hyde will suggest using wire. Since the hanger won't budge
you'll have to find something else. If you check the brochure
by the phone you'll find a paperclip on it. Hmmmm...maybe you
could use this? Go back to the suitcase and use it. You'll
have to straighten it out first, but its easy enough to do.
When you select the paperclip it will highlight the area where
you need to straighten it. Click and hold the wire, then bend
it slowly till it straightens. Examine the suitcase and select
the wire from your bag to use it. Move the wire towards the
lock and try to press it against the three lock pieces.
Once you try it on the suitcase you'll realize that it isn't
thick enough to jimmy the lock. Guess we'll have to find
something else now. Try to exit the room and there will be a
knock at the door. The package finally arrives and the time
changes to 5:10. When you open the door the bellhop has a
couple boxes in his hands. Help him out by taking the top box
off his hands. When he tries to leave stop him and question
him saying "You sound familiar!" He'll still try to leave so
yank his chin up to discover its Louis DeNonno or Louie for
short. Turns out Louie used to be a pickpocket back in New
York and Hyde busted him. He says that he's got his act
together and you'll be able to press him on that in a moment,
but first you need to question him about wanting to forget you.
Ask about the bad memories and you'll have another question to
press him on shortly. Wow lots of questions for this guy huh?
When he asks what you're doing so far from New York reply to him
by saying its just work. He'll add one more question to press
you on and then stop. Ask him about getting his act together
first. Louie will say he wanted to clean up, but stop him and
ask what happened. This will result in yet another question for
you....ugg. Ask him about your different vibe next. He
basically tells you that you look like crap. Ask him about any
prior guests with your name next. He'll tell you he doesn't
remember anyone else with your name and that he think he would
have if he saw it. Finally ask him why he doesn't want to talk
to a cop about his past. He'll ask you about why you changed
jobs. Tell him you transferred for now and he'll split. When
you examine the package you'll find out that Louie gave you
the wrong one! Better tell the front desk. You'll recieve the
old notebook in your inventory.



Down The Hall
--------------------------------------
Leave the room and walk down the hall and you'll see Melissa leave
room 219. Go ahead and speak to her. She'll say she lost something
and now she can't see her mom. Ask her about it by choosing the
1st option. She'll explain that if she acts poorly around her father
then they won't see her mother. Press her further on the question and
ask where her mother went. She'll say she doesn't know, she just goes
with her dad where his business. Press her about her father. You'll
find out he's a surgeon and she'll talk a little about her mother and
draw a picture for you in her notebook. Hyde will suggest you give
her back the puzzle piece so you might as well. Right after you do
her father will come out and yell at her to get back in the room.
They'll both leave you in the hall.



A Girl In White
--------------------------------------
Head for the front desk and you'll discover a woman staring out the
window. Approach her and talk to her. She won't say anything or even
look at you until you touch her. You'll notice that she is the girl
on the side of the road from the opening scene of the game. You try
to talk to her again, but get nothing. Hyde assumes she's deaf, but
you get interrupted by a rather large woman. Turns out that it's
Rosa. How Smith confused the two of you is beyond me. I guess he
wasn't looking at you at all. Anyways, you'll have a little back
and forth until you ask her about the girl. Rosa tells you that her
name is Mila. You can try talking to Mila again, but it won't do any
good. Talk to Rosa some more. She'll think you are a salesman and
you can question her on it. Pick "Salesman, huh?" She identify you
as an employee of Red Crown and that she has done business with the
company. When's she done talking ask her about Mila. You'll have a
flashback about the braclet on Mila's wrist and Hyde will freak a
little. When Rosa says she's going to drop Mila in her room ask her
what it means. So Mila is going to stay the night with Rosa....ok
then. Rosa says a young man gave her a ride, ask her about that.
Turns out Jeff brought her. Tell Rosa you met Jeff. You learn how
Jeff picked her up, but left her when he found out that she couldn't
talk. Guess he's not such a nice guy. Now ask Rosa about the
package mixup. After you ask the front desk phone will ring. Another
guest got your package and offered to bring it to your room. Rosa and
Mila take off after that. Hyde states that Mila was the name of
Bradley's kid sister and the time changes to 5:20.



The Iris Of My Eye
--------------------------------------------
Go upstairs and Hyde will think that he should have a chat with Jeff.
Continue walking to your room and the door to the room across the hall,
room 216, will open and a woman will step out. She introduces herself
as Iris. After she finds out who you are she'll say she's confirming
a hunch. Press her on that statement. She'll say she had requested
that no one be in the room next to her or across from her. She also
feels relieved to find out you are a salesman and won't want to take
her picture. Hyde asks about this automatically and she seems insulted.
She'll get pissed and say good day. Maybe she's some sort of celebrity?
Louie walks up immediately and compliments you on your smoothness with
the ladies....yeah..right.....Iris will roll her eyes at his statement.
When he says you're an officer Iris will get nervous and go to her room.
Hyde gets pissed at Louie and he takes off. If you go back to Jeff's
room (213) he'll ask you what you want. You'll start having a
discussion about Mila and you'll need to press him on not knowing her
name. When he says she asked him to bring her, stop him and say
"She ASKED?" He'll tell you she had a brochure so press him on that
next. After you're finished Jeff will go back in his room.




Back To 215
---------------------------------------
Head back to your room and once inside there will be a single knock.
Open the door to find Dunning and he needs to talk with you. Iris
complained about you and you call her clueless. Unfortunately she's
there too and you need to stop her and tell her to calm down. Hyde
will put the moves on her and make everything better. As they leave
another man walks up to you. His name is Martin Summer in room 211.
He is the one who got your package. Hyde thinks he's heard his name
before somewhere. Hyde seems to remember a lot of people in this
hotel. He says he opened it before he realized it wasn't his. You
can question him and asked if he likes your name hehe. You can
then press him more on who he is. Looks like Mr. Summer is a writer.
Well isn't that just fancy shmancy. He is extremely annoying, too.
He'll ask if you read a book of his. Say you have and that it was
called The Angel Whispers. He'll be excited and you'll give him
his notebook. He becomes enthralled with the notebook and you'll
take your package. When he leaves you'll be back in your room.
Open the package which is now on the bed on the left side. Take
the client list and the order sheet and call Rachel. You'll
chit-chat and suggest to check the Lost and Found and then canvas
the whole hotel. I wonder what Hyde is looking for?



End Of Chapter 1 Sequence
----------------------------------------
Hyde will think about everything that has happened up until this point
and all you need to do is just follow along. He'll ask himself what
he's here for. Answer "To find some items." The next question
asked is what Dunning said about room 215. Answer with "It grants
wishes." Next will be a question asking who Hyde's partner is.
The answer for this is "Bradley." Hyde then ponders Mila. The
answer to her question is "She wore a braclet." The final question
will be regarding the things that Hyde needs to find. One is a
magazine and the other is the answer: "A red box." After you
answer the final question Hyde will comment that he feels this
job is different from the others and that he'll find something
big here. The game will ask if you want to save here.

End Chapter 1~~~~





======================================================================
Chapter 2 December 28th, 1979 5:30-6:00 P.M. [Chap012]
======================================================================




The Search Is On
--------------------------------------------
Hyde decides its time to start the search for the items he needs. You'll
start in your room, but there's nothing you can do there for now. Step
into the hallway and look right to see Rosa. Approach her and speak to
her. She complains about a messy guest and how Louie isn't much help.
Press her about Louie when you get the chance. She'll tell you he's a
smooth talker, but no where to be found when needed. She even tells you
that she talked to Dunning about a replacement, but when she mentions
the stories of the hotel stop her and question her specifically about
them. She'll try to avoid the subject, but don't let up and ask about
why she can't talk. She'll get a little angry and continue to avoid the
subject. Ease up on her for now by telling her you get it. Go ahead
and ask about Mila next. Rosa starts to think that she's a mute and
isn't sure about what to do with her. When you tell Rosa you need to
speak to Mila she'll ask why. Tell her its about a bracelet. Rosa
tells you that you can see Mila after 8:00 P.M. and you can get to
her room from the lobby. Hyde suggests writing a note about it so
you won't forget. After that Rosa remembers that she needs to get the
restaurant ready. Not only does she clean, but she cooks all of the
food too! She asks you to tell Louie to see her and then runs off.



Whistler
-------------------------------------------
Walk a little further down the hall you'll break to a cutscene to hear
someone whistling. Walk all the way to the end of the hall and examine
the door marked linens on your map. Open the door to find Louie looking
at a magazine. You'll surprise him and then be able to move again.
Speak to him and Hyde will ask about the magazine. Louie says a guest
left it. Louie will ask what you want. Ask if this is his hiding spot.
Hyde will tell Louie that Rosa is looking for him to do some cleaning.
Louie replies that its done and you'll need to ask him what he cleaned.
He'll go off on this rant on how he isn't a criminal anymore and wants
you to lay off. Hyde will tell him the truth about being fired from
the force and a flashback will occur. Louie decides he doesn't really
want to know what happened. Louie will eventually mention the "stories"
Rosa was talking about earlier. It's time to finally find out what
those stories are, but first you should ask about the magazine being
left behind. Louie mentions that Dunning keeps all the lost and found
items in the office. Now go ahead and ask about the stories. Louie
says it has to do with ghosts and an incident that occured some time
back. He then goes off on how he's fallen for Mila. Ask him more
about the incident. He'll tell you it was 10 years ago. Now ask him
what Mila is like. Louie blushes and then tells Hyde that he never
had much of an eye for the ladies. Ask what he means by having no
eye for the ladies. Now ask Louie about the incident one more time.
He'll tell you that a girl dissapeared and you'll need to ask about
that next. The 10 year old girl went missing overnight and a letter
appeared telling them where to find the body. Ask if they found it.
He says they never did and that's when business went downhill. Ask him
more about when it happened. You'll learn about Dunning buying the
hotel and some more banter will take place between the two. Hyde will
eventually spill the beans on Bradley and how he's looking for him.
Louie will say that you and him are the same and you can question that
statement by saying "We're the same?" Louie will run off out the door.
Check the locker that will be unlocked to find a red toolbox. You'll
find a few tools inside that you should take. Examine the cabinet
against the wall that Louie placed the magazine and take it. Well it
looks like its the magazine Ed wanted you to find. There's nothing
else of interest so go ahead and walk out of the room.



Meeting Helen Parker
------------------------------------------
Hyde suggests moving to the office next and the time will change to
5:40. Time move there. As you walk towards the stairs a guest will
open their door. It's the elderly woman with the eye patch who wanted
your room earlier. She asks you what time the restaurant opens to which
Hyde automatically responds with 6:00 PM. The old bag says her name is
Helen Parker. You introduce yourself and she tells you how she wanted
the room your in. As she leaves Hyde will wonder why she's staying at
the hotel. Head down the stairs and into the lobby.



Lockpicking Made Simple
--------------------------------------------
Look for the door marked Main Office on the right side of the lobby.
Go ahead and knock on the door to find Dunning behind it. Dunning
will ask if you came to pay your bill and Hyde will remind you
that it's still locked in your suitcase. Dunning will go ahead
and close the door. Now how should we get into that suitcase?
Head back to your room for now. Remember the wire hanger by the
door that was attached to the wall? Now you have some pliers to
snap it off with. You'll to cut it the proper way if you want to
get it off though. Examine it and select the pliers from your
bag to go into a mini game. Touch the wire hanger near the bottom
right corner and you'll see the pliers on it ready to cut. Touch
again to snap it. Now you'll zoom out again and you need to
touch the hanger near the bottom left corner this time. Snap
that end and you should complete the task. Hyde will either
confirm if you've done this right or wrong by his remark.
If he says "no that's not how I need to cut it" then you'll have
to try again. If he says it's nice and straight then that means
you did it right. If you're having trouble (which you shouldn't)
make sure that you're touching the bottom parts of the hanger
near the right and left corners. You'll obtain the thick piece
of wire. Examine the suitcase and use the thick piece of wire
(NOT the thin piece). Move it towards the lock and press it
against the 3 lock pieces to unlock the suitcase. It'll open
up and you can look inside now. The only thing you can take
out is your money. If you don't see it or can't grab it,
move some of the items around by dragging them. Once you have
your money. Hit the arrow at the bottom of the screen to move
back out till the suitcase closes. Don't zoom all the way
out to the map screen yet though. While you're still examining
the area of your room with the suitcase, open your bag and
select your client list. Once you have it in your hand, touch
the suitcase to place it inside.


Office Hours
------------------------------------------
Leave your room, head downstairs to the lobby and knock on the
main office door again. You'll pay the rent and Dunning will
say he heard about your hassle. Ask him about it by saying
"I don't follow." He mentions your trouble with the package
mixup. Dunning will say if Louie screws up again he'll fire
him, but he doesn't want to be short-handed. You'll learn
what's on the menu at the restaurant...mmmmmm....and Dunning
will say he's going back to his room for a while. He'll leave
you if front of the office door. Instead of knocking on the
door, just click on the handle and walk on in. Walk over to
his desk on the bottom right corner and examine it. If you
move the slider all the way to right you can see the key rack.
Examine it further to see that the key for Room 215 is
missing. Next, examine the big blue book on the desk. Look
at the birthday card. It's for someone named Jenny. Hyde
makes a mental note of it. If you read the blue notebook,
you'll find out that the lost and found is in drawer 3
and the guest registration cards are in drawer "A". Examine
the calendar on the left side of the desk until Hyde makes
a mental note about how December 5th is circled. Walk to
the left side of the room to the left of where you walked
in and examine the drawers with tv on the top. Look at
drawer "A" which will be unlocked. Check the files to find
the registry of your name from 6 months ago. It says the
guest stayed in room 217 on June 30th. Walk over to the
cabinets next to the desk and look at the floor under
the bottom right corner of the cabinets. You'll see a piece
of paper stuck under the cabinet. Try to grab it and it
will rip in half, Hyde will wonder what it is and you'll
get a chance to draw on it. It won't solve anything so
just hit the arrow and zoom back out. Examine the other
half that's still stuck under the cabinet. Take the crowbar
out of your bag and pivot the end of it under the cabinet.
Push down on the other end slowly and the cabinet will lift up
and you'll get the note. Don't worry, the game will guide
on where to touch the crowbar. Now that you have both
pieces of the memo you'll need to figure out what it means.
All you need to do is play connect the dots. You'll notice
that there are 3 sets of symbols: dots, triangles, and stars.
Each set produces a different number. Don't connect numbers
from different symbols and you should be fine. The key
to reading the numbers is by changing the position of the DS.
If you turn the DS right side up, then you should be able to
read it. The number on the paper changes each game, so
unfortunately I can't give a number that works every time.
Examine the top right corner of the
cabinets to find a combination lock. Enter the number you
just came up with. Cabinet 3 will open up. You'll find a
red box inside. It looks like the box that Ed wanted.
There's nothing left for you to look at in the office so
walk out and you'll see a familiar face.


Louie And Rosa
----------------------------------------------
Louie will surprise you. Speak to him and he'll ask if you if you
just came out of the office. Say it was just work y'know. He'll
ask if you and Dunning were talking about him. Reassure him that
you weren't. Louie will want to know if you were serious about
quitting the force. At this point you should be able to trust
Louie so go ahead and tell him the truth. Time for a flashback.
It turns out to be the same flashback as last time, but Hyde will
say more about it this time. Hyde will mention the name Nile and
Louie will have a major freak out. It seems that Louie knows more
than he's letting on. Ask him what makes sense now and the both of
you will be interrupted by Rosa. Rosa fusses at him and he takes
off. Rosa will still be there so talk to her. She'll look like
something is a miss so ask her what's wrong. Rosa is curious to
know if you know Louie from somewhere else. Be straight with her
and tell her you know him. She'll ask a question about his past,
but DON'T rat Louie out. Rosa will bad mouth Louie and call him
shifty. Ask what she means by shifty. Hyde will go off and her
and defend Louie. Rosa apologizes and you can ask her about the
things you found in the office. Ask her about Jenny first. She
won't know anything so go with the next question. She'll tell
you her birthday is June 30th...isn't that the date someone with
your name stayed in the hotel? And she'll say Dunning's is
October 8th, so the December 5th date will remain a mystery for
now.



How Deep Is The Rabbit Hole?
-----------------------------------------
Rosa takes off and your pager rings. You need to call
Rachel so head back upstairs. Call her from the phone in your
room. She says that Ed needs to speak to you. He'll ask you
about Louie and your relationship with him. You'll finally
learn what brought Louie to Hotel Dusk and the big secret he's
been hiding. Hyde decides he needs to find Louie.



Dunning
----------------------------------------
Walk downstairs to find Dunning. You must NOT ask him about
Jenny or December 5th or he'll figure out you were in his office
and he'll throw you out. Only ask him where Louie is. He's
either in the kitchen or his room which are both through the
door behind Dunning. He'll move out of the way for you. Go ahead
and go through the left hallway door.



The Kitchen
-----------------------------------------
To get to the kitchen you'll need to go through the pantry. Walk
down the hall and enter the first door on the left. Move to the
back bottom corner of the room and walk through the double doors
to reach the kitchen. Rosa will be inside so go speak to her.
She'll tell you you're not supposed to be there. Ask her where
Louie is. She'll tell you he's probably in his room slacking
off. Leave the way you came to get back to the hallway.



Louie's Room
-----------------------------------------
Continue down the hallway to the next door on your left which
is Louie's room. Knock on the door and Louie will open it.
He'll invite you in so you can talk without any eavesdroppers.
Walk up to Louie and speak to him. Hyde will ask about Nile,
but Louie doesn't want to talk. You'll have to make him so
tell him he'd better talk. Hyde will say he knows about Danny
and makes a mental note to ask Louie. He'll tell Louie that
Nile is looking for him and he'll get scared. Tell him its
what the LAPD said. Then you'll get another mental note for
why Louie left New York. Hyde mentions the briefcase and you
need to ask Louie if he took the money. You get a third
mental note and then you can fire away at the questions.
Start off with who killed Danny and tell him you don't think
he did it. Louie says someone named J killed him. Ask about
who stole the money. Tell him you don't think it was him
either and he'll say that Danny's killer took it. Ask why he
left the city and say you think it was because Danny got
killed. You'll learn that Louie and Danny were partners and
planned on leaving together and getting new lives with the
money Danny would earn from one final job. Ask about the job
now. Now you find out more about why Nile is after Louie.
Ask about J to learn how he made the big money with Nile.
This will to you asking why Danny was killed. It appears
that Danny was going to lift some sort of angel painting from
Nile, but ended up getting whacked off. Ask about the
painting and Louie tells you he only knows what Danny told
him. It apparently is so valuable that they would have been
set for life. After the long set of questions, Louie will
say you don't know anything. Hyde asks Louie to enlighten
him and oh boy does he do it. Louie explains what happened
at the Nile warehouse and how J turned out to be an
undercover cop. When Louie shows you a picture of J its
actually Hyde's partner Bradley! Hyde will reveal that he
is the one that shot Bradley on the docks and not Nile.
Hyde took the heat for shooting Bradley and quit the force.
Louie finally understands why Hyde is a salesman and offers
to team up with you to bust Bradley. Hyde says he'll
think it over and leave the room.



End of Chapter 2 Sequence
---------------------------------------
Hyde goes into deep thinking mode again and you'll need to
answer more questions. Luckily I'm here to guide you through
it! The answer to whom Louie fell for is "Mila." The ghost
story got its start "10 years ago." The thing you find in
the cabinet is "the red box." What you learn from Ed about
Louie is "Nile is after him." The name of Louie's pal is
"Danny." If you've been paying attention to the story up
until now, you shouldn't need my help of the chapter ending
questions, but it isn't always easy to follow, so that's
why I'm here. You'll be a step closer to Bradley and Hyde
will be even more confused over the situation.


End Chapter 2~~~~~



====================================================================
Chapter 3 December 28th, 1979 6:00-7:00 PM [Chap013]
====================================================================



Ring Ring
--------------------------------
You'll start the chapter back in your room. Walk around for a bit
and the phone will ring. Pick it up to hear Rachel on the other
end. She'll ask about Bradley (the nosey little woman). Tell her
to forget it and she'll continue to pester you until you say its
a long story. Hyde will tell Rachel to page him when Ed gets back
and that will be the end of that conversation.



Parental Guidance
-------------------------------
As you attempt to leave the room Hyde will say to himself that
he's hungry and wants to go to the restaurant. Guess we should
do what he says. Head down the stairs to find Melissa and her
father outside of the restaurant. You'll watch a conversation
between the two that results in Melissa telling her father that
she hates him. Interrupt at that point and ask if everything is
ok. She'll run away and you'll turn to her father. He'll
apologize for you having to watch their argument. Tell him he
should be sorry and Hyde will dish out the parenting skills.
You'll finally learn this guy's name, Kevin Woodward. When you
say you're name he finds it interesting. Ask him what about it
and he'll tell you he thought he heard it somewhere. When he
asks what you and Melissa talked about, tell him nothing special.
Now you can ask him about your name. He thinks a patient of his
had a similar name. He'll run off.


Meet Your Host Louie
--------------------------------
Walk towards the restaurant and Hyde will stop to think about
what Kevin said. Go inside the restaurant and you will see Louie
on your right. Speak to him. It seems everyone working in the
hotel has multiple jobs. Hyde will make a mental note of Louie
working in the bar. The two of you will talk about the food and
he'll ask if anything is wrong with your room because Dunning
hasn't let anyone stay on the 2nd foor for 6 months. Stop him
and say "Six months?" He mentions the problem rooms are 217,
220, and 218. Hyde makes a mental note of 217 and suggests
writing them down in his handy dandy notebook. If you write
it Louie will comment about what you're writing. Ask him about
the bar. He'll invite you for a drink later. Next, ask what's
up with room 217. It's been 6 months since anyone was in it and
it's the room where the man with the same name stayed. Hyde
thinks its Bradley that stayed there. Hyde asks Louie to get
him into room 217 so he can look around. Louie agrees and says
he needs to wait for the right time to get the key. You'll
finish up and can now head for your table. If you examine the
podium you can find a sticker on it.



Hate Is A Powerful Word
----------------------------------
Walk down the hall and take a left. You'll see Iris standing by
the restaurant doors. Go and say hello. She seems troubled so
say "What is it?" She says she's depressed so you should stop
her and say she seems upset. She tells you that someone told
her that they hated her so go ahead and ask who that is. Iris
tells you it's that awful child's fault. Now ask about the
child. She asks if you saw her on the way out. Ask if she
means Melissa. You learn that Melissa threw her doll at Iris.
Find out more about the doll. Iris says she's never had a child
treat her in such a way so suggest to her that she must hate
kids. Apparently Iris only likes well mannered kids and Melissa
must have seen through her act to throw her doll. Iris becomes
angry with you again and storms off. Hyde puts it very
eloquently by saying now that she's done yapping he can get some
grub.


The Famous Martin Summer
----------------------------------
Walk into the restaurant and examine the first table to your
right. Move the slider and you will find the rag doll in the
chair for you to pick up. Move to the center table and you
will automatically sit down. Rosa brings you your food and
walks off. Rosa will show up again when you're done eating
to take your plate. She'll also drop off dessert for you
from Dunning for the package mixup. When you finish, Summer
will show up at your table. Hyde jokingly states that he
bets Summer wanted a bite of his cake. He asks if you may
have overlooked something small in his package. He states
that it was supposed to be within the pages of the notebook.
Ask what you're looking for. He'll say its a bookmark. Ask
what was in the notebook anyway. Summer gets a little upset
and asks if you read the notebook. Say you only looked at
the title. He perks up and says that it is for the best.
Ask what kind of bookmark he's looking for. He'll tell you
its small and has a picture of an angel on it. Once
Summer is gone Rosa will appear. She says that Summer seems
very familiar. Tell her he's a writer. Rosa gets excited
when she realizes who he is. You'll get two mental notes to
ask her about. Ask her about being a fan of him. She says
she enjoys reading his work and will mention his first novel
which is the name of the notebook Summer has. Ask her about
the guest with the same name as you and you won't learn
anything. Ask what the Secret Word is about. She tell you
about the book and take off. If you examine the piano in
the back of the room you can find a sticker all the way on
the right side. So far that's 5 right?


6:20
----------------------------------
Leave the restaurant and head down the hallway. You'll spot
Mila talking to Louie or rather Louie is doing the talking.
Walk closer to hear what they are saying. She'll leave and
you can talk to Louie. You'll have a conversation about her
and the time will change.



I Don't Get Paintings
---------------------------------
Exit the restaurant and you'll see Mila at the end of the hall.
Approach her and speak to her. You'll start talking about the
painting on the wall and Rosa will show up. She'll take Mila
back to her room.


A True Gentleman
---------------------------------
When you try to walk back up the stairs Helen will be walking
down. She'll ask if you've eaten yet and if it was good.
Then she'll ask if you can escort her to the restaurant. Tell
her yes and walk her to the restaurant door. She'll ask if
you'd meet her at the bar later to share drinks. Tell her
you're in. She'll go to eat and you can take off down the
hallway.


Fountain Pen
----------------------------------
On you way out Louie will stop you. He'll give you a pen he
thinks is yours. It has an engraving on it. Rosa will call
for Louie and he takes off. Hyde will wonder how to read the
engraving. Head out of the restaurant and examine the
chalkboard next to the restaurant entrance. Look at the bottom
right of the board and you'll see a couple pieces of chalk.
Click on the to look closer. Take out your pen and use it on
the chalk. You'll get some chalk powder and you just need to
spread it all over the pen and then you'll zoom in further so
can brush it off. Walk back into the restaurant and Louie will
be at the entrance. Ask him about the engraving. You'll give
the pen to Louie and you can leave.


A Visit To 219
----------------------------------
Head back upstairs for now and knock on room 219 to return
Melissa's doll. She'll say her dad isn't there and you'll
wonder where he went. Take the doll out of the bag and show
it to her. She'll be grateful for its return. Ask her where
her father went. When you try to leave she'll ask you to
stay until her father returns. Once you are inside, speak
to Melissa and she'll want to do a puzzle. Head over to the
table and examine it to find the puzzle. It'ls like the
one you did in the first chapter, but you have to put more
pieces in this time. The best way to complete it is to pick
out the corner pieces first and place them. Then go for the
other border pieces and finally fill in the middle. You and
Melissa will talk for a little when you're done. She'll
become upset and Hyde will remember that there is something
on the back of the puzzle. You'll go into another mini game
where all you need to do is close and open your DS. Don't
turn off the power. Simply close the lid and open it again.
The puzzle will flip over to reveal a message. Melissa's
father will walk in as you ponder why her mother left.
He'll be upset and ask you to leave, but before you do
ask him if he was worried about Melissa. He'll say he
doesn't want Melissa to say anything about her mother.
Ask why he doesn't want her to talk about it to him. Finally,
you can ask why his wife left. When he gets angry, Tell
him to take it easy in front of Melissa. He'll ask that
you go ahead and leave the room. The time changes to 6:40.



The Bookmark
----------------------------------
Head back to your room to look for Summer's bookmark. Examine
the boxes and check the right one. You'll go to a mini game
where you need to rotate the box and hit it to find the
bookmark. Turn the box so you're looking at the bottom of it
and so its longer from left to right. Hit it a couple times
and turn it around to see if its poking through the middle.
If it isn't, turn it so you're looking at the bottom again,
but turned 180 degrees and hit a few more times. You'll know
you did it right when you see the bookmark poking out through
the flaps on the inside of the box. Touch it to zoom it.
Slowly pull it out and you'll be done. Hyde wonders who
painted the angel.


The Angel
-----------------------------------
Head to Room 211 so you can return the bookmark to Summer.
Knock and the door and Summer will open it. Ask him
about the painting on the bookmark. He'll tell you it was
by someone named Osterzone. Ask him about the painter.
You'll learn the name of the painting and you need to stop
him and ask about the title. Go ahead and give Summer the
bookmark now.



Handy Man Hyde
------------------------------------
Walk towards your room and you'll hear a noise. It's coming
from room 218. Knock on the door to hear someone sniffing.
Hyde will try see who's in there and the voice will say its
scared. Hyde recognizes it as Melissa's voice. Melissa
is crying inside and you won't be able to open the door.
Go downstairs and through the restaurant entrance to find
Louie. Hyde will fill him in on what's happening. He'll
ask how much you know about wires. Say that you know enough.
You need to make your way with Louie to the electrical room.
Its right across the hall from Louie's room. Walk out of
the restaurant and through the left hallway door. Walk
down the hall till you get to the electrical room on the
right. Go inside and talk to Louie to find out exactly
what you are supposed to do. Walk over to the panel and
examine it to get to a mini game. The object it to flip
both of the switches to on. If you try to do it one at a
time they'll flip off. You need to use your fingers for
this. Using both of your thumbs, touch and flip both
switches at the exact same time and you'll succeed.



Problems With Pop
------------------------------------
Head back upstairs to room 218 and knock on the door.
Melissa will try to unlock it, but it will be stuck.
You'll need to use the wire to unlock the door. It's
similar to the suitcase, but there are 4 parts of the
lock to push in. Slowly push in each one and you'll
unlock the door like a pro. Step inside to see Melissa.
Talk to her to find out why she ended up in the room.
Ask her if things aren't going well with her father.
She tells you she doesn't want to be with her father
anymore because he lied about her mother. Hyde will
make a remark that Melissa doesn't understand and
says her father wouldn't know what it means either.
Stop her and ask why she thinks that. She'll tell
you her father said he didn't know anything anymore.
When you get a chance to interrupt again, ask if
her Dad knew the place. Melissa will tell you her
father came here because he could find out where
her mother went. Ask her if she knows why her died
lied about her mom. Suggest its because he couldn't
stand to see Melissa sad anymore. Next, ask if she
knows why her mom left and say it wasn't her fault.
You'll learn that her parents faught all the time.
The next thing you should talk about is her mother
leaving. Say that you're sure her dad knows. Ask
if her parents argue a lot. Just continue reading
the conversation as it unfolds and Melissa will leave
after becoming too upset to continue. Walk outside
and Melissa's father will be standing outside his
room. Walk over and talk to Kevin. He won't even
know what happened so question him about his whereabouts.
He'll tell you he was on the roof and then walk
back inside his room. Make your way to the end of
the hall and open the door to the roof. Someone will
be up there. Approach the person to see that its
Iris. She'll ask why you're up on the roof. Just tell
her you needed some air. Ask if she's all alone
on the roof to see if she's meeting someone.
Hyde will mention Kevin's name and she'll tell you
she doesn't know him and she'll leave.



End of Chapter 3 Sequence
--------------------------------------
Ah...Here we are again answering some more of Hyde's
questions. You ready? Here we go!
Kevin asks you about "Melissa." Summer yapped at you
about "a bookmark." The angel painting was by a guy
named "Osterzone." Melissa was locked in Room "218."
And the final answer, Kevin said he was "on the roof."
Chapter 3 will close with Hyde wondering about all
sorts of things and he'll wonder if they will help
him get a step closer to Bradley.



End Chapter 3~~~~




======================================================================
Chapter 4 December 28th, 1979 7:00-8:00 PM [Chap014]
======================================================================



It's Good To Have Friends
-----------------------------------
Hyde decides its time to look into the painting and the
painter. You'll be up on the roof, so make your way
towards the stairs . As you get to them your pager will
go off. Time to call Rachel. Go back to your room and
give her a buzz on the telephone. Rachel tells you that
Ed will be late getting back to the office and wants to
know if you need anything. Hyde will ask Rachel to gather
info on Osterzone. When you hang up with her there's a
knock on the door. It's your good pal Louie and he's
brought you the key to room 217. Wow, what a pal. He
warns you not to get caught by Dunning or Rosa with the
key. Hyde asks Louie about the name on the pen, but he
hasn't learned anything useful. You'll get the pen back
from him because Hyde wants to check something out.
Louie takes off and leaves you in your room.



217
----------------------------------
Leave you room and head towards room 217 to find Jeff
standing outside of this room. Speak to him. The two of
you will exchange a few unfriendly words and Jeff will
walk back into his room. He back to 217 and use the key
on the lock to gain access. It's time to poke around a
bit. Walk to the back of the room and look at the dresser.
The painting will be on the floor next to the bed. Examine
it closer and click on the small photo poking out behind
the right side of the painting to obtain it. Now head over
to the tv and examine the area. Move the slider so you can
see the dresser. Examine it and you'll look at an oper
drawer. Take the lighter and Hyde remarks that it belongs
to Bradley. Well, It seems that it was Bradley who stayed
in the room. You've gotten everything you need from there
so you can leave the room. You'll hear another door close
when you leave. Someone was just in the hallway.



Money Money Money
------------------------------------
Walk back to your room. Noitce how it's slighty opened?
Someone must have gone in! Hurry up and get in there.
Walk in and Hyde will immediately discover that the floor
is wet. Go inside the bathroom and examine the toilet.
You can try to flush it by sliding the handle down with
your stylus, but Hyde will remark that it isn't working.
Try to slide the top part of the toilet off. Once you
get it off, Hyde will notice there's something in the
tank. Grab it to discover a wad of cash in a bag.
The phone will ring as you ponder how it got there. Go
and answer it. Rachel will be on the other end. Hyde
will tell her about the money and she'll advise you not
to do anything stupid. She'll also tell you she has a
friend looking into Osterzone for you.


Around the Hotel
-----------------------------------
It's time to wander around. Go to the front desk to
find Jeff. Lets talk to him. Hyde's curious about
what he's doing and Jeff will tell you it should be
obvious. Ask him if he has business with Dunning.
He'll tell you to go away and so you shall. Walk
back upstairs and Rosa will be in the hall by Summer's
room. Go and talk to her. She tells you she's
looking for Summer, but he's not in his room. Rosa
says she wants Summer's autograph. You'll get a copy
of The Secret Word and she'll tell you to get Summer
to sign it for her. Very demanding woman. She could
at least say please. She'll rush off before you get
a chance to argue with her and the time changes to
7:20.


Detective Dunning?
---------------------------------
Head back downstairs to the front desk again to see
Jeff and Dunning talking. It appears that Jeff has
lost something and he demands that Dunning searches
the hotel. Dunning tells Jeff to calm down and they
both realize that you're listening to them. Jeff will
go back upstairs to wait for Dunning. Ask Dunning
what that was all about. He'll tell you to forget
about it, but you should stop him and ask what's happening.
Dunning explains its just another "fire" he needs to
put out. As Hyde wonders what he means by "fire," Summer
will walk up and ask for a copy of the newspaper.
Dunning will give him one and ask him to put it on the
table in front of the couch when he's done. Ask Dunning
why Jeff was so angry. You'll learn that something was
taken from Jeff's room while he was at the restaurant.
Ask what it was. He won't say because he suspects you.
Ask him if he plans of hunting it down by himself.
He'll say that he needs to call the police and you won't
be able to say anything further to him for now.
I must note that this is the only time you can get change
for the vending machine. Show your money to Dunning to
get some quarters.


Some Light Reading
-----------------------------------
Walk over to Summer who's almost right behind you. He'll
talk about what he read in the paper and Hyde will take
care of Rosa's favor. Summer says he'd be happy to sign
the book if you bring it up to his room. He'll put the
paper down on the table and leave. Examine it and read
the top left story. Summer's friend, Larry Damon, had
his house broken into and one of the things they took is
$20,000. Isn't that about the same amount of money you
found? Below that article is one about an art gallery.
Read the other side of the paper and you'll notice a
missing person ad for Alan Parker. That sounds like the
name on the fountain pen.


The Other Stairs
------------------------------------
Head for the lobby and the time changes to 7:40. Rosa
will be blocking your path to the stairs. Talk to her.
She says she can't talk and if you try to walk past her
she'll tell you she's cleaning and you'll have to wait.
Rosa will ask about the autograph, and you'll tell her
that Summer must have just gone past her. She will
explain that she's been cleaning for a while and she is
sure he hasn't gone by. Hyde will be confused because
he thought Summer went up to his room. Now where could
he have gone? Rosa will mention that there is another
set of stairs. Ask her about the other stairs. You'll
learn they are in the right hallway. Finish talking to
Rosa and open the right hallway door located to the left
of the candy machine. The stairs will be to your left.


To Catch A Theif
--------------------------------------
When you get upstairs, Dunning will step out of the utility
closet. Go down the hall and talk to him. He'll tell that
some cleaning supplies have gone missing. Ask him about it.
Looks like you're the theif this time. Dunning will hope
that whoever took the items will return them. He'll also
say he has to deal with a nutcase guest. Ask if he means
Jeff and ask what was stolen from him. Dunning will only
say one word, Money. Hyde will ask if Dunning knows any
more about the guest with the same name as you. He'll
mumble out the same stuff you already know and take off.


Is This Your Pen?
---------------------------------------
Let's get back to what we were doing before, getting
Summer's autograph. Knock on his door and he'll invite you
in. Start the conversation with him. Ask him if he likes
signing stuff. He'll reply that its part of his daily life,
but he had hoped to be able to relax at the hotel. Ask him
about the statement "Things never change." Summer will say
that no matter where he goes, someone will want an autograph
or a picture. Talk to him again and show him the book that
Rosa gave you so he'll sign it. He can't seem to find his
pen. Oh wait, there's always the fountain pen you found.
Show him that and Hyde will ask if its his. Looks like the
pen belongs to Summer. Ask him about his pen and he'll say
that it truly does belong to him. Ask where he dropped it.
He'll say the lobby, but Hyde will catch this and say the
restaurant. Hyde asks about the name on the pen and Summer
says his real name is Alan Parker. Talk to him again and
give him the book so he'll sign it finally. He'll excuse
himself to use the restroom and leave you by yourself. Now
you can be nosey and check out his room. Look at the table
Summer had been standing in front of and examine the
notebook on the table. Summer will come back out and ask
what you were looking at. Hyde says nothing and you will
walk out. Outside of 211, Hyde will think to himself that
something isn't right about the notebook.


I Don't Think This Is Mine
-----------------------------------------
Try to walk down the stairs and you'll be stopped by Iris.
She'll be upset because Dunning had to search her things for
the missing items. Hyde doesn't want to get caught with the
items that don't belong to him so head for the linen closet
on the second floor. Open the locker and examine the toolbox.
Open your bag and place the crowbar, pliers, and screwdriver
back into the box. Now we need somewhere to hide the things
you found in the office and that stack of cash. Go back to
your room and examine the area with your suitcase on the
table. Open up your bag and place the red box, memo,
room 217 key, and the stack of cash in the suitcase. If you
have any of the items on you when you walk down the stairs
Dunning will stop you and search you and it'll be a game
over.


Penmanship Is Where It Counts
------------------------------------------
Now get yourself down the stairs and head for the kitchen.
You can always check your map if you've forgotten how to get
somewhere. Rosa will be inside. Speak to her to inform her
that you obtained Summer's signature. She'll be happy so ask
her why she's so excited. Turns out that's the 50th autograph
she's obtained from someone famous. She'll want her book so
let her have it. You'll be teased about forging Summer's
signature and she'll explain that he has distinctive penmanship.
Ask what makes his signature so special. The letters "er" are
unique in his name and you should remember that. Rosa will
tell you that she's sure Martin Summer is Summer's real name
and not his pen name. Why would Summer lie about his real name
being Alan Parker? Go back upstairs to ask him about it.
Knock on room 211 and you'll be let in. Hyde will start
asking Summer for pointers on writing and Summer will say that
its nearly impossible. Stop him after that and say "Well if
you could do it.." and Hyde should lead his questions into the
notebook that Summer has. Hyde will tell him Summer that he
did read the notebook and when Summer becomes shocked with what
you say you should remark about the different handwriting. When
Hyde starts to talk about the pen, imply that Summer's name
really isn't Alan. Now that we have Summer all riled up its
time to pour on the questions. Ask why he's so angry and
suggest that it exposes him. Next, ask who mailed him the
notebook and then ask who wrote the novel. Suggest that it
wasn't him and Hyde will request that Summer writes his
signature for him. Now you will get to a mini game where you
must compare two signatures. Circle the "er" at the end of
Parker on both signatures. If it isn't working, make sure that
you are circling both letters entirely, especially the long "r"
on the bottom signature. Ask him who wrote the novel, then
ask who Alan is and finally ask his relationship with Alan.
He won't have much to say about any of these questions until
you've asked them all. He'll lose it and start asking who
hired you. You'll learn his terrible secret and his life story.
You may as well grab some popcorn for this one.



End of Chapter 4 Sequence
----------------------------------------
When you finally leave Summer's room you'll do the mental
question thing again. Allow me to list the answers for
you. Along with the lighter, you also found "An old photo."
Rosa insisted that you "Get an autograph." The thing Summer
dropped was "A fountain pen." The thing Rosa said that got
Hyde's interest was "Summer's real name." The biggest secret
was "He stole a friend's work." That's all for the questions.
Hyde decides that its time to uncover who stashed the money in
his toilet. He actually starts to feel some of the old him
from his detective days come back.


End Chapter 4~~~~

Chapter 5 December 28th, 1979 8:00-9:00 PM [Chap015]
======================================================================



Who Is Osterzone?
-------------------------------------
The phone rings as soon as you start moving. It's Rachel again. What
a surprise, right? She finally has some information on Osterzone.
The painter didn't become famous until after he died just like a lot
of other people in real life. It seems that his work is extremely
valuable. The most valuable work would be of course, "Angel Opening
a Door." Rachel tells you the painting was stolen from an art museum
about three years ago. You'll fill Rachel in on Bradley and hang up.
Hyde says its time to go see Rosa.


Off-Kilter?
--------------------------------------
Walk downstairs and you'll see Jeff walking out of door. Hit the
yellow triangle to stop him and ask what's wrong now. Jeff will ask
if Dunning said anything. Ask "Like what?" and you'll tell him you
know he was robbed. Ask him what was taken. He won't want to say,
so encourage him a little. Dunning will show up and Jeff will take
off. Ask Dunning what the problem is and he'll say that Jeff is
off-kilter. (whatever that means) Ask him about that. He'll say
that Jeff is reacting to the robbery like he's acting to be upset.
Dunning says he doesn't want to call the cops and he's going to
give himself an hour to think it over.



How Do You Talk To A Mute?
---------------------------------------
Remember earlier in the game that Rosa said to go by her room at
8:00? Walk to the right hallway where you used the back stairs to
get to the second floor. Go inside and take the first left down
the hall to find Rosa. She tells you that Mila is sick and she asks
you to watch her while she finds Mila some medicine. Give her the
ok and go into Rosa's room. The time will change to 8:20 during the
process. You'll find Mila on the couch sleeping. Give her a tap to
wake her. Hyde will ask about her braclet and she'll write the name
of the person who gave it to her in your notebook. Look at your
notes to see that her father is the one that gave it to her. Now
she'll write his name in it for you. Read your notes again and
you will find the name Robert Evans. Before you can get more info
out of her, Rosa will come back. When you leave the room, Dunning
will stop you in the hallway. He'll suggest you stay in your room
before he gets suspicious of you.


I'm No Expert With The Needle
----------------------------------------
Go back to your room and walk towards the back to hear a knock at
the door. It's Melissa and she asks for your help fixing her doll.
You'll get a funny bit of dialogue from this. You need to find
something to fix the doll. Examine the package Ed sent you. There's
a mini sewing machine inside. Take it from the box and talk to
Melissa again to get the doll. You go into a mini game where you
need to sew the wing back on the doll. There will be a red flashing
zig-zag where you need to sew. Carefully follow the outline to
beat it. If you fail, the wing will fall off and you'll have to try
again. Melissa will ask if you and Jeff are friends because she
saw him come out of your room. Melissa leaves and the time changes
to 8:40.



Dirty Laundry
---------------------------------------
What was Jeff doing in your room? You need to find him so leave
your room and go knock on his door (room 213). No one is there
and Hyde will ponder what he's up to. Go downstairs and head
through the left hallway door. Go through the door marked
laundry and examine the area on the right side of the room with
the orange linen cart. Examine the orange linen cart and you'll
go into a mini game where you need to search the cart. Pull out
the clumps of laundry and you'll see a small sheet on the bottom.
Touch that and then touch the back part the cart to fold it up.
What do we have here? You'll find a hidden gun. As you collect
the pistol, the door will open and Louie walks in. Tell him you
found something. Louie will mention someone else doing laundry.
Ask him about who it was. It will be just who you were thinking.
It seems Jeff has been doing a lot of complaining. You'll tell
Louie about how you found the cash in your toilet and it will be
clear that Jeff put it there and is trying to frame you. You both
decide that its time deal with Jeff and Louie comes up with a
plan. Man do I ever love him. He plans on getting Jeff out of
his room while you give it a search. Louie will leave to put
the plan in action.


Not An Angel After All
--------------------------------------
Head back to your room to get the stack of cash and the room 217
key from your suitcase. Leave your room and go inside 217. Take
a couple steps and you'll hear Louie talking to Jeff. Louie
manages to get Jeff out of the room. Now's your chance to poke
around Jeff's room. Leave 217 and walk in 213. Walk to your
right and examine the corner of the room. Check the bag on the
sofa to find the master key to your room. Examine the coat on
the rack and click on the item in the left pocket to find Jeff's
student ID. When Hyde reads the card the name will say Jeff
Damon, not Jeff Angel. Could the man that the money was stolen
from be Jeff's father. Try to leave the room and Jeff will beat
you to the door. Jeff will be angry and try to threaten you.
Tell him you know about the cash he hid in your toilet when you
get a chance. He'll want proof, so say you had an eye witness.
You now have the opportunity to question Jeff, but you are
missing an important piece of evidence. Leave his room and
Hyde will remember Summer talking about the newspaper. Head
downstairs to the front area and examine the newspaper on the
table to obtain it. Go back upstairs and knock on Jeff's door.
Now's your chance to drill him. Show him the duplicate Room 215
key, Jeff's Student ID, the stack of cash, the newspaper, and
the pistol. Ask him about the cash and tell him he wanted trouble.
Next, Ask about the gun next and say that he wanted it to be
found. Then you'll want to ask about his name and say that its
Jeff Damon. If you're going down the line, the fourth question
will be about who you sound like and the fifth about why he put
the gun in the laundry. The last two will be about why he hates
his father's name and if his father is as bad as he thinks.
After all of the questions you'll finally learn the truth behind
Jeff's plan. Just sit back and read the conversation. One very
important thing to note is that Jeff's father works for Nile as
their defense attorney. You'll help Jeff sort his life out and
you'll leave the room wondering about all of the coincidences.



End of Chapter 5 Sequence
----------------------------------------
Hurray! Its the end of Chapter 5 and question time once again.
Hyde does wayyyyy too much thinking for my brain, but hey,
what can you do? Here's the answers. Jeff asked you "Did
Dunning say anything?" Mila's father's name is "Robert Evans."
What you found in the laundry room was "A gun." When you patted
down Jeff's jacket you found "Jeff's Student ID." Jeff's
father makes a living as a "Lawyer." After figuring out why
Jeff robbed his father, Hyde wonders why Bradley betrayed him.


End Chapter 5~~~~

Chapter 6 December 28th, 1979 9:00-10:00 PM [Chap016]
======================================================================




Hyde The Story Teller
----------------------------------------
Hyde mentions to himself that the bar is open and wants to go
for a drink. Someone call AA. Of course it's the beginning
of the chapter and we can't leave the room without getting a
call from Rachel. It looks like Ed is actually at the office.
He'll want to be updated on the situation and Hyde will fill
him in with the story. Ed and Hyde will definitely use some
lingo from the time their in and it can be a little hard to
follow at times. Ed mentions that he might need you to hand
the items you found over to the client directly. Hyde hangs
up with Bradley on his mind.


The Seven Stars
----------------------------------------
Leave your room and head downstairs. Go through the restaurant
entrance and head for the bar. Its at the end of the hall near
the kitchen. When you walk in Louie will welcome you. Hyde
and Louie will joke with each other. Hyde will talk about his
drink with a lot of detail. Louie will come back over and tell
you about the bar's jukebox and some matches. Then he'll
mention the guest with your name. He'll say that he and Rosa
were both out. Stop him and pick either answer for the question.
I said he was sick, but I could see from Louie's reply that it
didn't reall matter. Ask him about the jukebox and then about
the matches. Hyde will take another drink and someone will come
in. It's old eye patch pirate lady Helen. She'll order a
gimlet and you'll be able to move, sort of. Try to take a step
and Hyde will stop to think about the guest with your name.
Now you can move. Walk down to the area where the old bag is.
Don't talk to her just yet. Look to her left and examine the
shelf with the matches. You'll find two matchstick books each
with a puzzle for you to solve which are fairly simple. I'll
draw what they look like undone and solved for you.........

Easy right? or as Hyde puts it, "Easy Peasy." Speak to Helen.
She'll be happy to speak to such a fine bourbon drinking
gentleman as yourself. You'll learn she doesn't have any
family and Hyde will share the same information about himself.
Hyde talk to Helen about the room she originally wanted and
she'll mention that she has a wish that must come true.
Ask how long she has been alone and what her wish is. She
hasn't always been alone and she won't share the details of
her wish with you. Ask if she had a family. She'll want to
leave the past alone and Louie will interrupt by bring Helen
her gimlet. She'll buy you another drink and Louie will go
back behind the bar. I wish I didn't have to pay for drinks.
While Louie gets your bourbon, Helen will give you a coin
puzzle to solve. There's no need for a picture on this one.
Simply stack the very bottom coin on top of the coin above it
to make an upside down "T". Helen will start to talk of her
past and say it isn't the first time she's stayed at the hotel.
Stop her and ask when she was there before. She stayed at the
hotel 20 and 10 years ago, every decade for the past 30 years.
Eye patch goes on to say she was working in Las Vegas. Stop
and ask what she did there. She was a magician. I guess old
dogs, or women, can learn new tricks. Louie stops the two
of you to give you the best bourbon the bar has to offer.
Helen says its time for her to leave and asks Louie for help.
I love the name Louie gives her. (Why didn't I come up with
that?) You'll be left alone to watch the bar. Walk to the
end of the bar that's near the door and examine the bottle and
glass on the bar. The door will open and Iris walks in.
She'll ask if you want to have a drink together. The choices
you have are "no thanks" or "no way!". I don't really think
it matters which you choose, but I said no thanks. The time
will change to 9:20. Examine the bottle of bourbon again and
someone else will walk in. I think everyone in the hotel is
on the same schedule and shows up everywhere at the same time.
This time its Summer who walks in. He'll try to befriend you,
but Hyde won't have any of it. Iris interrupts to say she's
leaving. Good riddance. Summer asks you who she is and when
you tell him her name and room number he'll say its not right.
Stop him and ask what isn't right. He feels that he's met her
somewhere before. Ok, if I ever had this many coincidences in
one evening I think I might shoot myself or something.
Anyway, Summer figures out that you aren't just any ordinary
salesman. Looks like the shoe is on the other foot this time.
Ask him what makes sense now. Hyde thinks some pretty violent
thoughts while he's listening to Summer ramble on. Must be the
alcohol in his system. When Summer lays his cards down on the
table you'll realize just how dumb he is and Hyde makes the
perfect comment on this. The bar must be the most humorous part
of the game. Ask Summer how he knows Iris. He won't remember.
Examine the bottle of bourbon a third time and Louie will
return. Louie reminds you that the bar is open till midnight
and that the two of you need to have a drink together. One last
thing to note is that there is a star sticker on the right side
of the jukebox. You can finally leave the bar now.



A History Lesson From Rosa
------------------------------------
Whew! That was a long section. Walk down the hall and Rosa
will stop you. She's still cleaning the hotel this late at
night. Does she ever get time off? The two of you will
start to talk about the bar and its anniversary date will
come into question for Hyde. Ask her when that was. It
turns out to be around the same time of the missing kid incident
10 years ago. Rosa will actually joke with you and Hyde will
be fooled. The incident with the kid is actually just a rumor
according to Rosa. She suggests you speak to Dunning and gets
back to her cleaning.



A History Lesson From Dunning
------------------------------------
You can find Dunning inside the restaurant looking at pictures
behind the piano. The two of you will discuss the history of
the hotel. Ask him if the hotel always had the same name.
Dunning mentions that he planned on changing it when he took
over, but the sign change would cost too much. Ask when he
got the place. Once you discuss that with him, ask about
what he was looking at when you walked in. When you ask about
his former job he won't tell you. Say you wanted to know how
he got into hotel management. You won't learn to much and
he'll take off. Go talk to Rosa again.



Rosa's Request
-----------------------------------
Rosa will be in the same spot you left her. She'll be happy
to see you. Be afraid, very afraid, and ask her what she
wants. She wants you to deliver wine labels to the guests
and tempts you with a free breakfast to do it. Rosa wants
you to take the label up to Helen and she mentions how
Helen was with someone at the hotel on her previous visit.
Ask Rosa if she knows who that someone was. She's not
sure, but she thinks it was Helen's son. Ask Rosa why
she thinks her and Helen are alike. You learn that Rosa
has a son in New York. Ask what her son is like.
After that is out of the way Rosa tells you there are
three wine labels. You'll need to figure out which one
belongs to Helen to bring it to her.



Delivery Boy
-------------------------------------
Walk into the restaurant and examine the bottle on the
table to your immediate left. It's a bottle of Rose.
Walk upstairs and knock on room 216 to speak to Iris and
ask her what wine she drank. Looks like she had the Rose.
Go over to Summer's room next and ask what he had. He
had the Chardonnay. Walk back to your room and look in
the package Ed sent you. Take the adhesive remover so
you can get the label off of the bottle. Go down to the
kitchen and look for the bottle on the back table. You
should really save here just in case you mess up. You'll
know its the right bottle if Hyde thinks to himself that
it is. Use the adhesive remover on the bottle to go into
a mini game. Spread it over the entire label and you'll
be ready to peel it off. This is where things get
tricky. If you aren't careful, the label will rip and
you'll get a game over. Slowly start at the top right
corner by pressing and holding down with your stylus.
Slide the stylus to the bottom left very slowly to peel
the label off. If you want to be extra careful, grab
the label at areas closer to where its about to come off
of the bottle as you peel. You only need to peel about
half of it off to successfully complete the mini game.
You'll obtain the label so run it up to room 212.




Helen's Past
---------------------------------------
Helen will invite you into the room when you get there.
Speak to her and you will remind her of her past. Ask her
what happened back then. She won't talk so you'll have
to squeeze it out of her. Give her the wine label. You
won't have any questions to ask her, but its ok. Try
to end the conversation and Hyde will ask her who she
shared the wine with. She'll ask if it really matters.
Stop her and say you're just curious. You'll learn that
she shared the wine with the man 10 years ago. When you
try to ask where his is now Helen will be shaken up.
Hit the triangle and suggest that she doesn't know.
Ask her who the person was and suggest she cared about
him. Ask why she doesn't contact him and suggest she
misses him too much. Try to find out what she meant
by betraying him and who the mystery person is. Hyde
realizes that its her son whose name turns out to be
Alan. Ask her about that next. The full name of Alan
Parker is revealed. Man, the coincidences just won't
quit today will they? You'll leave the room telling
Helen you'll be right back. Go to Summer's room to
get the fountain pen from him. Hyde is quite forceful
about getting it back. Let yourself back into Helen's
room and show her the pen. Her reaction explains it
all. It's definitely the same Alan Parker that Summer
knows. Helen says she gave him the pen 10 years ago
during their reunion. She talk about how she had
abandoned her son and ask how you came into possession
of the pen. Read along and you'll learn all you need
to know.



End of Chapter 6 Sequence
-----------------------------------------
Hyde thinks about how he'll probably need to tell
Summer that Alan's mother is at the hotel and he'll
switch to question mode to clear things up. And the
answers are......The next person to stumble in the bar
was "Helen." Dunning took over the hotel "Five years
ago." Helen was drinking "Red Wine." Her companion's
name was "Alan." Helen left her son to become a
"Magician." As the chapter comes to a close, Hyde
wonders what Bradley thinks of at night.


End of Chapter 6~~~~

Chapter 7 December 28th, 1979 10:00-11:00 PM [Chap017]
======================================================================




Kyle Hyde, Advice Columnist
----------------------------------------
Hyde suggests joining Louie in the bar for another drink,
but since its a new chapter you just know the phone is
going to ring when you try to leave. HA! I fooled you on
that one. You actually get out the room without the phone
going off. When you get to the bar speak to Louie and he'll
ask if you want a drink. You can take either, I chose the
scotch. Louie will ask if anything is the matter and Hyde
will reply that he's been handling everyone else's problems.
Louie says its because people want to talk to a guy like
you. Ask him, "A guy like me?" Louie belts out some pretty
smart words and Hyde compliments him on it. You'll get your
drink and think about something Bradley said to you. Louie
mentions to you that he wants a bar of his own. He started
thinking about it when you told him a story back in New York.
Ask him what the story was. He'll say you told him a story
that turned his life around. Ask if you yelled at him.
It had something to do with Hyde's father so ask Louie about
that. Hyde will realize what the story was. Ask Louie
if he believed it. When he asks if it was true tell him that
it indeed was. Louie tells you that something else has his
attention. Tell him you REALLY don't get it and he'll tell
you his new passion is bowling. He tells you to be at the
bar at 11:00 to bowl against him. Now how are you going to
bowl in that tiny little bar?



The Famous Cecily Lee
------------------------------------------
Summer will walk in and order a gin and tonic. Go over and
talk to him. You'll want to tell him about Alan and he'll
say he has something to discuss with you as well. When
the choice comes up, talk about Alan. He'll ask who you
were talking about it to. Go ahead and be truthful. Once
Summer gets his drink, ask him what he wasnt to talk about.
He'll say that Iris looks like Cecily Lee. Isn't that the
girl on the magazine cover you have? Ask him who Lee is.
After you find out the info you'll tell Summer you gotta
jet. He'll stay to finish his drink.



Unhappy Holidays
-------------------------------------------
Walk out of the bar to find Melissa in the hallway. Talk
to her to discover he father is gone again. She'll ask
you if you got anything for Christmas. Tell you didn't.
She'll say the same and that her father is a jerk. Agree
with her to learn that she didn't have anything for
Christmas. Melissa will leave and the time changes to 10:20.



Oh Christmas Tree...
----------------------------------------
Head for the stairs to be stopped by Rosa. It's after 10
and the woman is still cleaning. Rosa will ask why
Melissa looked so sad. Say its because her mom left. You
won't have any questions for her, but when you try to leave
Rosa will talk to you about why Melissa would ask about a
Christmas Tree. Tell the maid that Melissa didn't get one
this year. Rosa will inform you that the tree and decorations
are in the storage room on the first floor. Let's go there.
Go to the right hallway and walk past Rosa's room to get to
storage. Go inside and examine all of the boxes in the back
of the room. Examine any one of them specifically to start
a mini game. The object is to move the boxes so you can get
to the Christmas tree. It's located in the back left corner
of the room. Just slide all of the boxes to the right side
of the room. You can stack them on top of each other all of
the way up to the roof. Once you have completely exposed
the tree box which will have a picture of a tree on it and
tinted green you'll be done. Melissa will walk in behind
you. Rosa will know that you would come after the tree so
she sent Melissa down to decorate it. You'll get into
another mini game where you must decorate the tree. This
game is very simple. Just match the color of the decoration
to the color of the hook on the tree. Red decorations on
red hooks, green on green, and so on and so forth. You
will get a star once you get the decorations on that you
must place at the top of tree. Melissa will be happy.
Mila and then Louie will walk into the room. Talk to Louie
and Mila to ask how the tree looks and then speak to
Melissa. If you bought the prize from the machine, you
can give it to her now. She'll fall asleep and Hyde
suggests that Louie should take her back to her room. Speak
to Mila to learn that she's feeling better. You'll converse
with her through your notebook. Her father owns an art
gallery in Santa Monica. Hmmm...her connection is becoming
clearer. Rosa walks in and comments on how nice the tree
looks. She'll take Mila back to her room for the night.
Walk out of storage and head back the way you came.



Unwelcome Guest
----------------------------------------
Hyde will stop and notice that Dunning's room is open. Go
inside. Walk to the back of the room and examine the single
picture on the dresser. As Hyde wonders who the girl in the
photo is, the door opens. Dunning walks in and questions you
on why you're there. Dunning tells you to leave and the time
will change to 10:40.



Kevin And Iris
----------------------------------------
Walk into the lobby to find Kevin. Go and speak to him. He's
slurring his speech so its quite obvious that he's drunk.
He'll make his way to the front desk area. Follow him and
speak to him again. He'll start throwing up. (I think) Ask
if he's ok and who he was drinking with. He won't say and
tell you to leave him alone. Walk to the bar to find Iris
speaking to Louie. She'll leave you and Louie alone. Ask
Louie who was drinking in the bar earlier. Kevin and Iris
were drinking together. Ask what they were talking about.
Louie says he overheard something about a Gallery May in
Santa Monica. The same one Mila's father works at right?
Ask what they said about it. Louie won't know anything.
You can ask Louie about the little girl in Dunning's photo,
but he has no idea. Head back upstairs and speak to Iris
who will be in her room. Hyde asks her about her meeting
with Kevin in the bar. Iris will say that she needs to
talk to you and invites you inside. She feels that when
she got back to her room, something felt odd. Ask her
what's odd. She says her suitcase was moved. Ask if
anything was stolen. She says a small envelope was taken.
Now ask what was inside. Apparently, Iris swore to the
person who gave it to her that she wouldn't tell. Ask
about the gallery next and then about who gave her the
envelope. You'll learn that someone named Grace gave it
to her. Ask who Grace is and Iris will be uncooperative.
You'll take off out of the room and see Kevin in the
hallway. Approach him and he'll leave. Follow him down
to the front desk area and speak to him. He'll doesn't
want to talk, but Hyde will question him anyway. When
Hyde mentions room 216, Kevin says that its none of his
business. Ask him what his business was. Kevin continues
to avoid talking so say that you have reasons for
asking. He'll open up after you tell him about Mila,
but eventually he'll want to leave. Tell him to talk
about Iris and suggest its the first time they met.
Kevin agrees and he'll say that Iris knew Grace.
Tell him to talk about the gallery and say he never
worked there before. Then ask who Grace is to learn what
you're probably thinking. She's Melissa's mother and
Kevin's wife. Tell him to talk about Grace and suggest
she left because of him. Ask Kevin why she left and then
ask about how it was his fault. You'll finally get the full
story out of Kevin.



End of Chapter 7 Sequence
----------------------------------------
Kevin takes off and you're left to think about how Grace
managed to get the money to save her family. Hyde does
his mystical mojo and asks himself questions.....again.
After leaving the bar you bumped into "Melissa." The
room where you found the tree was "Storage." First Mila
joined you and then "Louie." Mila's father owned "Gallery
May." The thief made off with "A small envelope." The
chapter will end with Hyde really starting to piece the
connection together between the people in the hotel and
Bradley.



End Chapter 7~~~~




======================================================================
Chapter 8 December 28th, 1979 11:00-12:00 AM [Chap018]
======================================================================



Who is Robert Evans?
--------------------------------------
It's 11:00 PM so its time to meet Louie for bowling and
you also need to find out who took the envelope from Iris.
The phone will ring this time when you try to leave. Rachel
will chat with you and then realize that Ed needs to speak
with you. Hyde asks Ed to do some research on Robert Evans
and the art gallery. Once the two of you are done talking
its time to head out.


One Man's Trash....
--------------------------------------
When you walk out of your room you'll hear a noise come
from the end of the hall. If you walk to the bar and talk
to Louie, Hyde will tell him to give him a little time to
take care of some business. Go to the front desk area to
speak to Kevin. You exchange a few words and he'll leave.
Go back upstairs and enter the utility room which is
across from the linen room near the roof entrance. Examine
the trash can on your right next to the sink and Hyde will
notice something in it. Take the tape and the brown
envelope. Walk back to your room and take the red pencil
from your suitcase. You're going to need it. Go to the
bar to ask Louie for a cassette player. He'll say there is
one in his room and someone else wanted it earlier. Dunning
borrowed it from him. Louie gives you permission to use it.
Go to his room and walk to the back. The cassette player
is sitting on top of a crate next to his bed. Try to use the
tape on the player you'll find out that it's unwound.
You need to wind it back up. The tape will now be on the
crate next to the player. Use the pencil on the tape to start
a mini game. Slide the pencil into the hole of the cassette.
Spin the pencil to wind the tape up back into the cassette.
You'll be done when its completely rewound. Now use the
tape on the cassette again. Another mini game starts. Drag
the tape to place it in the player. Play side B and you'll
hear broken pieces of conversation. Louie walks in when
you're done listening. Hyde plays the tape for him and
updates him on what you're investigating.


Confronting Iris
---------------------------------------
Now you need to find Iris. She'll be in her room on the
second floor. Knock and she opens up. Ask why she had
the tape in the first place. Show her the envelope and
the cassette tape and end the conversation. Hyde will
automatically talk to her again and Iris invites you in.
Talk to her to learn that Grace asked Iris to bring the
tape to the hotel. Ask her why. She won't know that
Kevin is Grace's husband until you tell her. Iris has
been searching for Grace to ask her something. Well,
now its time for you to ask Iris some questions of your
own. Start off with talking about the plan and suggest
that its insurance. Next, ask about the doll and
say that she recognized it. After that, talk about
Grace and say that Iris is looking for her because she
vanished. Iris says she doesn't know what the tape is
for so ask her who gets it? She's supposed to give it
to the man who painted the angel. Hmm....more angels?
Ask if Iris has a doll too and then where Grace got the
money. Iris drops a small bomb by telling you she's
Grace's sister. You'll learn about Iris' and Grace's
pasts and how Grace asked Iris for money. You still
don't know just how Grace got the money yet, but you do
have your suspicions. The time changes to 11:20.


Time To Roll
------------------------------------
Head to Louie's room and let yourself in. Talk to him
to fill him in on what's happened and to ask him to
check the logs to see if Grace has stayed in the hotel.
Walk outside of Louie's room and he'll call you over.
Looks like you're bowling in the hallway. Grab and
drag the ball towards the pins to throw it. Try to
keep the stylus straight and you roll the ball so
it stays on target. Aim for the spot between the center
pin and either the left or right pin. If your aim
is good then you can hit a strike. If you don't
get it right, you can start over without waiting for
Louie's turn by hitting the return arrow. Bowling
strikes will get you the win every time. Louie usually
hits between 5-8 pins when he rolls. When Louie is
on his third roll he'll break the plant. Its actually
a blessing is disguise because you'll find a key
among the dirt. After you pick it up, Rosa walks in
to see what the ruckus is. She informs both of you
that Mila is missing and take off. Louie and Hyde
decide to split up and search. He takes the first
floor and you'll take the second. Hyde also gives
Louie the key to see if he can find what its for.
Head for the roof to find Mila. You converse using
your handy dandy notebook once again. Rosa said
something to Mila about knowing her father. The
time changes to 11:40 and you need to get Mila back
to Rosa's room.


Confronting Mila
-------------------------------------
Walk Mila back to Rosa's room and knock on the door.
Rosa will answer and let you in. Walk to the back
room and go inside. Examine the pictures in the
room and then try to leave. The two of you converse
about the photos for a while and then get to talking
about Mila. When you ask her what she said to Mila
she'll like. Tell Rosa not to lie. She'll say its
not like she hiding anything from you. Say "Rosa...
Come on, now." She'll slip up on you. Ask Rosa
to talk about the pamphlet and suggest Mila's
brochure. Next, ask about Mila's father and suggest
Rosa does know something. Now ask her about her
promise and suggest its someone you know. Fire away
with the next three questions and just listen to
what Rosa has to say. You'll find out that Dunning
has a daughter. Maybe its the name you found on the
birthday card in the office? It's time to go


Info Man Ed
---------------------------------------
Leave Rosa's bedroom and you'll see Mila in the
living room. Speak to her and you'll tell her
that you're going to find her father. Now leave
the living room and walk down the hall. You're
pager goes off. Head back up to your room and
give Ed a call. Rachel answers and puts Ed on
for you. Ed tells you that he has news about
the gallery and Mila's father. I love the way
Ed talks. You'll get a little info and Ed says
he still has a little searching to do.


End of Chapter 8 Sequence
----------------------------------------
Hyde decides its time to get his facts straight. Here
are the answers. The other thing you asked Ed to check
was "Robert Evans." The person who sent the tape to
Iris was "Grace." The thing you found in the hallway
planter was "An old key." When you found Mila she was
"On the roof." Robert Evans went missing "Seven years
ago." Its time to learn some more about Mila, Dunning,
and this angel painting. Hyde says that the strands of
this mystery are starting to fray and the strand he
needs to pull is Bradley's.


End Chapter 8~~~~





======================================================================
Chapter 9 December 29th, 1979 12:00-2:00 AM [Chap019]
======================================================================



Apples To Apples
------------------------------------
Walk away from the phone and Hyde will notice the apple painting
on the wall. Examine the painting closer and you'll move into
a mini game. You are looking for a letter in the painting. Its
located on the second apple from the left "Y". Hyde writes it
down in his notebook. Go to room 217 and check the painting in
there. Look all the way on the left side of the painting for
an "N". The next painting will be in the hallway across from the
stairs. An "E" will be in the top right corner. Head downstairs
and walk to the end of the hall past the restaurant for the
fourth painting. You can find an "N" and the middle apple.
Hyde will wonder where to find the fifth apple painting.


Lets Raid The Cellar!
-------------------------------------
Walk into the lobby to find Louie. Once again you'll have to fill
Louie in on the current events, but this time Louie has information
of his own. You can ask Louie about the last apple painting, but he
won't know where it is. Ask about the old key. Louie says it goes
to the wine cellar. Louie's thinking what I'm thinking, but Hyde's
not thinking what we're thinking so....oh wait....I just confused
myself. Anyway, ask about Grace next. Unfortunately, there are no
logs for more than a year ago so its impossible for Louie to find
out using the files. Louie says to meet him at the cellar at 1:00.
Dunning interrupts and tells Louie to get back to the bar. Dunning
takes off soon after and the time changes to 12:20.


Holy Crap She's Talking
--------------------------------------
Head over to Rosa's room. She'll ask if you've found anything out
about Mila's father. Hyde is smart with her. Ask about the apple
painting. She'll mention the fifth is in the special room. Ask
her about that room. Its the room you've walked by many times so
far. Room 111 in the lobby. Rosa leaves to get the key to the
room. Mila will go with you when you leave. DO NOT WALK INTO THE
LOBBY FROM THE RIGHT HALLWAY. Dunning will be there and throw you
out of the hotel when he sees you with Mila and you'll get a game
over. Walk up the back stairs in the right hallway and then down
the normal stairs to the central hallway. Walk into the lobby
from there and you won't get caught. Let yourself into room 111.
Rosa tells you the painting is in the back. Walk through the
back door and the painting will be on the wall next to the bed.
You can find a "J" just to the bottom left of the apple. Now that
you have all of the letters you'll start a mini game to determine
what they mean. They spell out Jenny so touch the letters in the
order to spell J-E-N-N-Y. Walk back to the other room. Rosa
screams because Mila is on the floor. Rosa tells you to help
her and you'll start a mini game. This one is like flipping the
puzzle. Close and open the DS to put your face next to her's and
revive her. Not only does Mila wake up, but the girl can now
talk! Hyde had the same reaction as I did. You'll have a lot of
questions to ask her so just go down the list and read along.



The Other Hyde
----------------------------------------
After playing 20 questions with Mila, her and Rosa will head back
to Rosa's room. Leave the room and Kevin will be waiting for
you. He'll ask if you were in 111 with Mila. Stop him and ask
if he knows Mila and then ask how he knows her. She was a
patient at his hospital. Interesting. Ask why she was there.
Mila was in a coma for 10 years! It's kinda like that movie
where the 13 year old turns 30. He'll say they tried to contact
her family, but had trouble. Stop him and ask if he knew her
family. Her father visited her every month until she woke up
and he paid all of the bills in advance. After this, Kevin
reveals some stunning information. He says the hospital got
a visitor by the name of Kyle Hyde. Kevin takes off after that.



Hotel Dusk
----------------------------------------
Your pager goes off while you think about Bradley and the time
changes to 12:40. Go upstairs to your room and call Ed. This
time its Ed that answers and not Rachel. She finally got to go
home. Ed drops an atom bomb on you this time. You learn that
Robert Evans bought a little place called.....Hotel Dusk! dun
dun dun. He is the one who sold it to Dunning. Ed tells you
that you might want to get ready for a bad surprise and someone
knocks at the door. You hang up with Ed when he hears you have
a visitor. Rosa is at the door and she's panicked. She says
that Dunning came and took her, but she hasn't returned yet.
Hyde tells Rosa to wait in her room while you go find them.



Find Dunning
--------------------------------------
Head for Dunning's room. Try to knock and Louie shows up.
Hyde tells him to check the wine cellar while you look in
Dunning's room. No one is inside. Walk into Dunning's
bedroom and examine his desk. Check the brochure to obtain it.
Next, check the newspaper that was under the brochure to
get it. Examine the top desk drawer to find a lot of
birthday cards in it. Leave Dunning's Room and head for the
pantry. It's the room that's connected to the kitchen.
Examine the white door in the back corner of the room.



End Chapter 9 Sequence
---------------------------------------
Kyle's mentalness comes a lot quicker this time. Upon
examing the door he'll start to think. Here's your
answers. The last second floor painting is found in
"Room 217." They spelled out the name "Jenny."
When Mila first came to the hotel she was "Nine years
old." The name of the hospital was "Robbins." The thing
you found in his desk drawer was "Birthday Cards."
Hyde is prepared to find something he doesn't want to
in the hotel and heads for the cellar.


Nap Time
---------------------------------------
THe first thing you see in the cellar is Louie on the ground.
Try to wake him and you'll be knocked out. Save your game and
the chapter ends.



End Chapter 9~~~~





======================================================================
Chapter 10 December 29th, 1979 2:00 AM-? [Chap010]
======================================================================



OOO...A Secret Door
-----------------------------------------
Well Chpater 9 didn't end on such a nice note now did it? Luckily
you're not dead yet. Rosa wakes you up. Louie's awake when you
get up and both of you are holding your head in pain. Rosa says
that Mila is still missing. The three of you will discuss what's
going on. When you gain control again, examine the shelf next
to Louie. Look at the box on the bottom right to notice that there
are 3 whiskey bottles in the box. Now look at the shelf to the
right of the one you were examining. Check the bottle on the top
left shelf to obtain it. Place the bottle in the box of whiskey
and Rosa will speak up. She says there is something odd about the
half full bottle. Look at the shelf behind Rosa now. Take the
bottle from the top left shelf. Use it on the half full bottle
in the box to fill it up. Make sure you click on the bottle and
not the box. When you put it back you'll hear a click. Now
examine the shelf in its entirety and it will move. The shelf
will reveal a hidden stairway. Hyde tells Louie to stay with
Rosa while he goes down. Time to get to the bottom of things
literally.


A Basement Of Troubles
----------------------------------------
Head down the stairs and walk down the hall to the only door.
Walk inside and head over to the shelf. Examine the top right
item to find the guest registry from two years ago. After checking
it, Hyde discovers that Grace did stay at the hotel. Examine the
the blue book next to registry and you'll hear footsteps. Someone
will lock the door and you have to get out soon or you'll die.
Try to examine the blue book again. Its a book all about Osterzone
and there's a photo of Dunning and Jenny between the pages. Take
both of the items. Make sure to take note of the number on the
back of the photo (518). Read the red book underneath the blue book.
Walk over to the desk area and examine the machine on the table.
Try to turn it on and it won't work. Examine the power cord behind
the machine running down the wall to figure out why the machine isn't
working. Make sure to examine the red toolbox underneath the desk to
get the hammer. Now examine the top drawer next to the machine. You
will find a lockbox. Use the date on the back of the photo to open
it. You'll find a letter inside for Dunning from Evans. Now examine
the bottom drawer to find a file and scissors. Use the pencil in
your bag on the file. You'll get a mini game where you need to shave
the lead off of the pencil. Just move the pencil back and forth
on the file to beat it. You'll obtain some graphite powder. Use
it on the plug to get the machine working. Try to look at the
piece of paper next to the machine and Hyde will say its getting
hard to breathe. Now examine the paper again. Tilt the DS to read
the number on the paper. It will be random each game so I can't
give you a one time use all number. Use the letter from Evans
on the machine so that it will be displayed next to the machine.
Turn the machine on and change the number above the power button
to whatever number was on the paper next to the machine. Type in
the code on the bottom of the letter exactly as it appears.
Holy crap! Osterzone is Dunning Smith! Once you punch in the code
Louie will knock on the door. Go over to the door and Louie will
let you out.


A Secret Room
---------------------------------------
Walk down the hall with Louie to the bottom right corner of the hall
to trigger a cutscene. Some of the bricks on the wall have been
knocked out. Examine the wall and use the hammer on it to start a
mini game. Bash away at the bricks to reveal a door behind the wall.
You'll need to hit quite a few bricks to finish. Walk inside the
room and Hyde will lay the truth on Louie. Examine the desk in
room and take the Palette knife off of the color palette. Now
examine the big white canvas in front of the desk and use the knife
on it. Scrape every last bit of white paint off to reveal the
valuable angel painting. Oh my God! Hyde and Louie will piece most
of the mystery together. You need to find Dunning and Mila so you
can clear up every last detail.


The Final Confrontation
---------------------------------------
Walk out of the room and back towards the airtight room. Hyde will
stop and notice an inconsistancy in the wall. Hyde bangs on the
wall find Dunning and Mila in another secret room. Hyde demands
that Dunning talks and every last detail will fall into place.
When Dunning says its the last place him and Evans saw each other,
stop him and say Dunning talked to him here. When he says the
painting is there because that man left it there, say it was Bradley.
When's its time to question Dunning, ask what he and Evans spoke
about. Evans was responsible for Jenny's kidnapping. She would be
returned if Dunning started painting again. Say it was Nile who
was responsible. Ask Dunning what Bradley said. When Bradley
asked Dunning about Evans suggest that Dunning didn't tell him.
When you ask about Jenny next you'll want to suggest that Evans never
told Dunning about his daughter. After your first trio of questions,
fire off the next three in order. When you get through the
questions, Dunning will tell you everything. It's quite a long
story so try to keep up with Dunning.


*************^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^******************



A Final Note
@@@#####%%%%&&&&&&%%%
I don't want to ruin the ending so just enjoy the final scenes after
speaking with Dunning to finish the game. I do want to remind you to
visit with everyone before you leave though. Some aren't in obvious
places...*hint* the roof, Rosa's room *hint*


I'll be adding some stuff to the guide soon! Check back!
