A well done mystery adventure game...
You play as former detective turned salesman/recovery agent Kyle Hyde who is sent to Hotel Dusk to retrieve a couple of items. In the midst of finding them, you find yourself digging up the troubled past and connecting the dots between the hotel and yourself.
This is a basic modern mystery: the main character wants to find his treacherous former partner and get answers to his questions. A rather film noir plot but very fitting to a detective story. However, it is not the basis of the story but the execution that immerses players. The plot twists you've come to expect from the mystery genre do not fail to capture the imagination.
For those players not looking for a good story: this is not the game for you. There is a lot of dialog exchanged, and it's all text. For those undaunted by words: this is an excellent addition to any adventure gamers collection.
