Still mysterious
Goes by the name of Last Window
Hotel Dusk: Room 215 was a great little mystery game for the DS. Set in a hotel in 1979 Los Angeles, developer CING combined mystery text adventure with a graphic novel style while crafting a decidedly DS experience.
And now it's getting a sequel. Quietly announced by Nintendo, Last Window: Midnight Promise takes place yet again in LA one year after the first game.
It's got a release date of January 14 in Japan, and hopefully won't take too long to break out of the motherland.

I keep seeing Hotel Dusk for cheap, maybe I should finally get around to playing it.

Hotel Dusk, eh? Sweet, I loved that game. I don't care much for the murder-tasticly hard gameplay.

The original is great, a mix of PW and Myst. Although it does get a little slow in the middle, it's definately worth its low price of admission.

Looks like Kyle lost a few pounds between games.

awesome. Really a great game. I'm guessing these screens are from the first one, right? Can't wait to play it. The first is a must play classic.
@jave, yeah, he seemed to wear that over coat non-stop. Definitely a self-couscious over eater.

Hope this game doesn't meet the same fate like cing's other game, Another Code R for the wii, here in America.

This was one of my favorite DS games, and I'm glad to see it have a sequel. I will definitely buy it if it comes in the states.

@JayArr-This is coming in January in Japan, whereas Investigations is coming to the US in Jan/February.

@abe8812: AGREED! I want Trace Memory 2 in America, Nintendo! On the plus side, though, this is on DS and can be imported as long as it's released in Europe (like I did with Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland). The Wii gives no such option.

The first game was pretty good but somewhere between an interactive novel and a game........and then ending up not being quite either. I still enjoyed it for the most part though parts of it were a real slog.
Another Code DS and Another Code R were great too.
These ppl know what they're doing with these kind of games.
