#52 - Last Window: Secret of Cape West (DS, 2010)


So. you remember Kyle Hyde? Well, he gets fired from Red Crown for being a useless, downtrodden twit in the intro to this sequel, and now he has to go back home to his shitty little apartment in Manhattan. He hasnt been there in weeks, and finds out upon entering the building that everyones moving out, because the landlord is selling the building to be demolished in a matter of weeks. As he digs into his full mailbox to find the eviction notice, he stumbles across a strange letter, telling him to locate the Scarlet Star. He calls Ed, the manager of Red Crown, to see if this was a job sent directly to him that he just now found, and Ed clarifies that this isnt how the business operates, and that this has nothing to do with Red Crown. Perplexed, Kyle spends the duration of this game discovering the motive behind the landlords sudden decision to sell, what the Scarlet Star is, who wants him to locate it, and why?

Last Window, as a game, functions pretty much the exact same as Hotel Dusk. You wander around, talk to people, get information, do some snooping, and then interrogate people until they break and tell you their darkest secrets. I prefer Last Window to Hotel Dusk for several reasons. Its a bit more focused, and not quite as drawn out as its predecessor. Some of the characters involved arent quite as memorable, but a few of the more important ones stories are bigger standouts than Hotel Dusks cast. Along with the same art style as before (if it aint broke, dont fix it), it also has a killer soundtrack to boot. This track plays when youve broken someone down and are telling their sad life story:

I should probably mention some place in here that this game never made it stateside. Cing went bankrupt before they could bring it over here. Fortunately, for us statesmen, Nintendo DS is not a region-locked console, and they did manage to release it in PAL. If you have ever considered importing it, but wasnt sure if it would work, or never even knew there was a Hotel Dusk sequel, I would super duper recommend getting it; its incredible.
