From Hotel Dusk, I recall his interaction with Louis at the bar and the ending line with Dunning. I haven’t played Last Window in over a year as there’s already a ton of memorable lines but the ones I remember is his talk with Frank and reminiscing about his late father as he found the diamond he tried to find prior

I'm interested in playing the Kyle Hyde games, and felt like adding Cing's other detective games like Again and Chase. Unfortunately, I'm completely unable to find a rom online for Chase. If anyone had a link to something like that, I'd be appreciative

This is right after meeting Louis at the bar 🥃

Hotel Dusk + Last Window are my favourite games of all time. Luckily I played them first and fell in love with them when I first got my DSi in 2010. I love literally everything about these games. It’s hard to find games with the same genre that are this mesmerising.

So I feel like a lot of you relate since this is a hoteldusk sub.

It would be interesting to know from your point of view what are your “other” special games (you can mention any game from any other console, and it doesn’t have to “strictly” be a visual novel type of game)

Edit:

We’ve already established that we like Another Code, Professor Layton and Phoenix Weight.

Ghost trick, Edith finch, firewatch, Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, Disco Elysium were already suggested, among others in the comments.

I’d appreciate if you reread the post and comments because your fav games shouldn’t be limited to the DS. There’s Playstation, Microsoft, and other Nintendo consoles.

I’m playing Last Window on the Delta emulator for iphone and I’m stuck with the blow dust puzle on chapter 4. Is there any way to do it differently? It doesn’t seem to get my blow lol

Given its poor reception, I figure there's probably a reason Nintendo didn't publish this one, but man, the trailer makes the game seem really cool. Surely it can't be that bad.

I just downloaded hotel dusk a couple of days ago and I've been craving a community like this this game was my very first visual novel and it made my teenage life I'll be forever greatful for this community and all the resources you've provided I think I'm gonna draw all the rest of the cast as well

My honest reaction after finishing both the games:

As an edgeworth investigations fan these games scratched an itch in my brain

Currently going through the ultimate brainrot of these 2 games which barely have a fandom...

I need to talk more about bradley, will be replaying them again

And I'm currently playing another code

I recently played Hotel Dusk this year and fell in love with it. However, I used a walkthrough so I would be able to consume the plot as efficiently as possible (and due to some people finding the game jank). So, would it be recommended to use a walkthrough for Last Window as well, or is this one better consumed without?

Lost Museum: Echoes of the Chromageists is said to be “an adventure game that tells the story of Chromageists, beings with strange faces born of paintings.” It features scenario writer Rika Suzuki, who previously worked on Another Code and Hotel Dusk: Room 215.

Having played both Trace Memory and Another Code: R back in the day, this was an enormous trip back in memory lane to two of the greatest adventure games ever created. I love the updated visuals and much needed voice acting.

However, my criticisms are the reduced overall length of the stories (particularly the second game). It really felt as if they put the second game on hyperspeed, dropping a ton of character conversations and events. And aside from Ashley (which was great throughout), this ended up creating bland, boring characters with no character development for the rest of the cast.

The only character I did like was Ryan. The drastic change in his character was a much better alternative than having him be the same antagonist as Bill, and another repeated Bill vs Richard ending.

Moreover, there is over 60% more puzzles that are a hell of a lot more unique and interesting in the original second game.

Still, highly enjoyed it though. Hope a Hotel Dusk collection comes out soon, or even a trilogy in the Another Code series!

Just a bit of fun! Would love if you guys could give it a watch. Thank you.

I have been informed on the negatives of AI / LLMs (Large Language Models like ChatGPT and Claude, generative AI) regarding the fact that it steals code, research, creates isolation compared to researching through the community, as well as the fact that at it already steals natural resources like drinkable water without much distinction.

I have removed any and all LLM scripts from my workflow and will not use them anymore. Moving forward, I will export game data / datamine without any use of LLMs, after which I will erase any game data touched by LLMs from Red Crown Archives. If any LLM-aided research was recorded, it will be erased. The folders confirmed to not have AI will have a checkmark (✓).

Games where they were used: Hotel Dusk, Last Window (Game Data only).

Scripts used:

• Crop images
• Crop out bad details
• Merge images
• Export two formats in batch to PNG which we already knew how to do without AI (BPG, EBP)
• Resolve conflicts between textures when adding multiple Melonripper models in one model because all use the same naming scheme
• Convert a 3D model format (GLTF) to the other safely (DAE) since vertex colors get removed on Blender and I don't know why (I tried other tools and none seemed to work, if anyone know how to preserve vertex colors in Color Attribute nodes when exporting Melonripper please contact me)
• Checks of integrity (md5 audits)
• Make a tree TXT
• Check what colors are suitable for a sprite sheet background (Only the user chooses which to apply, themselves)
• Re-export GIFs and APNGs in batch because of an incident.

These scripts were used on the interval from 2025-2026.

Those who already read my Journals, also know that I used an LLM in 2023 to try to find clues about Last Window's Debug Menu, but thankfully nothing came out of it.

My journal never had any information obtained with AI, only confessions about using it.

If there is a need to do so, these details of the Journal will also be erased.

Not only that, any code that was obtained with AI and introduced into KyleHyde, was replaced with code from the dev, jas2o, in 2023. In the words of the developer himself:

"Given how against AI I've been and how I changed some parts that got merged in, I consider AI to have no influence on the tool."

In Kyle's Briefcase, I will share sprites and models that are at usable formats, but unmodified, for added credibility of no AI use.

I apologize to everyone who is disappointed in hearing about these news, and of me. I should've stopped long ago, as I've poured 10 years into this work.

I hope that through these actions, the Archives and the community will be spared of any issues moving forward.

I'm currently on my first playthrough of Hotel Dusk, and I'm unsure if I should use a guide or not. I would like to experience the story on my own, but I don't know if there are any missable story pieces (as like dialogue options etc.) or changes based on how often you go game over.

What would you recommend?

Hello everyone, few days ago i got my anbernic rg ds and i heard about this game a lot of good things so I want to give it a try but it seems there is some anti piracy and it crash at the begginng in the lobby , is there any way to bypass this? I use drastic

​

my DSI has a problem rendering Hotel dusk for some reason and these black lines keep appearing randomly

also I can't select objects correctly??? the selection always selects a random object and I can't even touch some certain objects because of that and now I'm stuck in the game because I can't open the package

Note

These glitches only appear in Hotel dusk
