Rumour: Hotel Dusk sequel being developed.

Post by Reborn from the Ashes »

This has not actually been confirmed anywhere as far as I know, but it seems like a DS sequel to Hotel Dusk called Last Window: Mayonaka no Yakusoku (English translation: Last Window: Midnight Promise) is currently in development. Apparently the game will take place in Los Angeles during the 1980's. The game is currently rumoured to have a release date of 14th of January in Japan.

According to information kindly translated by Duckroll of Neogaf, Last Window is quite similar to Hotel Dusk in graphic and audio style. Kyle Hyde returns as the main character, complete with charming personality. The main setting of the game is the Cape West Apartments. Although there may be some connections to Hotel Dusk, Last Window's story stands alone enough that people who haven't played Hotel Dusk should be able to play Last Window with little/no confusion.

There are two main additions to Last Window, the first being the "Ignore" option, which basically gives the players the option of asking a character for more information on a certain subject, or to just ignore it, and move onto another topic. For example, a character mentions in passing that they've lost something. You can either ask them about their lost item, or start talking about the opening times of the local bar. Unlike Hotel Dusk, where you more or less had to ask everyone about their problems, doing so in Last Window could result in a "Dunning kicks Kyle out" type scene.

The other main addition is an in-game novel, also called "Last Window". A new chapter is unlocked at the end of each story chapter, and will touch upon various sub-scenarios. The contents of the novel will change depending on Kyle's actions during the game.
