Hotel Dusk: Room 215 Nintendo DS

Nintendo DS proprietors are invited to check into the Hotel Dusk, an oldfashioned mansion where guests are either unwilling or unable to leave. Former policeman Kyle Hyde travels to 1979 Los Angeles to locate a friend who was last seen in room 215, a room cryptically described as "where wishes are granted." What follows is a graphic adventure that involves hunting for clues and solving an assortment of puzzles to determine the whereabouts of Hyde’s friend. The game is played with the handheld positioned like a book, with the left screen depicting 3D views of the environment and the right screen displaying an overhead perspective used to move around. Dialogue sequences and cutscenes feature stylistic, blackandwhite graphics to evoke a noirish atmosphere. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
