![]() Last Window suffers from one of the issues brought over from Hotel Dusk - insta-deaths. The characters are genuinely sympathetic, and revelations come thick and fast. We spent the entire fifteen hours of play trying to work out who the bad guys were in this film noir-esque experience. Kyle usually gives you hints about where you should be headed next, and in a sense it's as if you're following an interactive story, rather than playing a game. We never once found ourselves stuck with no idea of where to head next, which was a issue that plagued the original game. The puzzles in Kyle's second outing lack the balance of the previous edition.Īs if to counteract this, the story has far more direction in Last Window. ![]() For the most part, there's nothing too taxing to solve and you'll breeze through, putting together jigsaws and unlocking fire doors.īut later on, certain set-pieces left us completely bewildered. The most significant difference is the puzzles. It's not surprising that developer CING didn't mess with this aspect of the game, as Last Window is a joy to control. Absolutely nothing has changed apart from the story - Kyle can be dragged around via the touchscreen, and a row of buttons at the bottom of the screen allow him to take a closer look at areas and objects. Through getting to know the residents, breaking into disused storeys, and sweet-talking his landlord, Kyle manages to uncover the truth.įans of the original game will instantly feel at home with Last Window. Not a lot has changed in Kyle Hyde's mysterious world - he's still bumming around a hotel, looking for clues to help him solve his father's murder, which happened twenty-five years ago.Īs luck would have it, everything he needs to discover the truth is right in that very building. So it's a relief that Last Window: The Secret of Cape West is exactly the Hotel Dusk sequel we were hoping for. First a sequel was announced in March, then there was speculation that we wouldn't be seeing it outside Japan, and finally a European release was set for September. It's been a bumpy year for fans of the whodunit puzzler Hotel Dusk.
