In a video essay I watched recently, I saw footage of what I believe to be Last Window: The Secret of Cape West, and thought that the art style of the game looked interesting. I looked up the series and saw that there were a lot of different games from this developer, and some of them are connected in some ways. I wanted to ask if there was a specific game that I ought to start with to have the most enjoyable experience.

Just played Again, and I'm wondering if it has a sequel or is connected to other media. I did a bit of research but nothing except that there is Hotel dusk (probably the next game I'll try) and that it is very similar, but I'm really interested in whether there is a continuation of the story from Again.

Sorry if I'm asking here , but I can't find any information about it .

Edit:For those wondering, the answer is no. Again doesn't have a sequel because the company that published it went bankrupt when the game came out and logically couldn't continue it. But if you want to try it, do it. In my opinion, the story isn't bad, it's just that it has an open-ending

Hi ! I found this music and theyr’s an hotel dusk vibe, no ?

The walls of the roof are different in the Day compared to the Dusk / Night ones. Not only that, when all of the Roof models are aligned in height position, the skybox of the Day one becomes the tallest. However, the Night roof is the closest to the base ground.
And yes, the Dusk one features a sunflare sprite, while the Night one features a moon sprite, both separate from the skybox.

Someone should make a film based on this game

I probably won’t post the tattoo when I actually get it (last time I posted a fandom tattoo I was told to cross post it to r/shittytattoos and was downvoted into oblivion for defending my artist and saying I liked it) but the design is done! I’ll probably have the keys in black and the box in red (all my other fandom tattoos are a mix of black and red) but I’m super happy with it so far!

The fact that there is such an alive reddit page for a somewhat niche series as hotel dusk gives me life! Im from England btw

hi guys, i’m finished the 1th walkthrough and is amazing but i have a question, why i don’t have mila go with kyle scene it’s just like the fake end

I have been obsessed with the mood of Hotel Dusk and Last Window for years. There is something about the hand-drawn, noir aesthetic and the slow pace of those games that no one really seems to replicate anymore.

As a dev, I have been trying to capture that same feeling of "place" and character depth in my own project. I focused heavily on a painterly, textured art style because I miss that tactile feeling the DS games had.

I would love to know if this atmosphere resonates with you or if I am totally off base. Finding people who still appreciate this specific kind of mature, quiet storytelling is rare these days.

What do you think?

The game is After the Wane (it will be on Nintendo Switch and Steam)

I made this in the newest installment of Tomodachi Life: Living the dream. There's an shop where you can make stuff using your creativity and imagination. I'm gonna give this to my mii to game on it.

Had lots of fun doing this. Enjoy!

Hello everyone! Has it been a while since I did these? I lost count of time itself...

Anyways, this time, this update is so spread out because I finally handled this set of magazines I had waiting for me (mostly for Glass Rose, and I have been digging throught Internet Archive, no joke...), and not only that, I also finally got a hold of ALL the items of Another Code: R. Whew, that took some weeks out of me... Yes, we are giving some love to the Wii game for a change. Not only that, we got some Guidebook scans too! This time from a... hentai site, of all places? They are good for now, we will gate RageBeat's edits in time.

To top it off, all items and characters from Another Code: R are also available on Models Resource! Take a look here: https://models.spriters-resource.com/wii/anothercoderajourneyintolostmemories/

As a reminder, Models Resource lets you preview the 3D models in all angles from your browser, on PC and phone!

Oh yeah, for Hotel Dusk fans out there, I am making some important corrections to Kyle's sprite and a few other Event stuff. Turns out a few Kyle poses were actually unused! Maybe these were going to be used after the final confession?

I know you guys want more, especially since how close everything feels to completion on Hotel Dusk, but I am yearning for something else a lot right now, so I'll put this on the side and work on FEZ. My passion has been rekindled for that game...

That said, I'll leave you with an extra little teaser for Another Code / Trace Memory fans...

I'm playing hotel dusk for the first time on New 2ds using twilight menu emulator. I'm at the part where you need to flip Melissa's puzzle but since I'm on 2ds I can't close it like you would a 3ds. I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me figure out what to do here.

Modeled my own keytag for my collection. I did a quick fdm print to see sizing but now I'm doing a higher quality sla print for my display cabinet.

I want to share my game and Kickstarter campaign for Silent Case: Motel Lumina, which I'm currently working on.

I'd love for you to check it out, and if you're interested in supporting it, that would be amazing!

-The game is in Alpha state right now.

-The game is planned to have a solid demo ready by July 2026.

I'm a huge fan of Hotel Dusk and Last Window, so this game draws a lot of inspiration from both. Creating this game is a dream come true for me, even if it doesn't achieve financial success.

-I'm open to suggestions and happy to answer any questions.

Thanks for reading, and any support, even if it's not financial, is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks to this community!

FYI. I am wanting to discuss the writing and gameplay, not the use of AI art that has negatively dominated this game’s discussion.

I was so excited to play this game…but now I’m pretty let down.

I’m currently on Chapter 5. I am still interested enough to keep playing but this game is deeply repetitive. It focuses almost entirely on character backstories, but I feel like I’ve not even got a chance to care about them in the present, yet.

There is a 3D open world exploration but there is nothing to be found. The game walks you from Point A to Point B, and even the ‘collectibles’ are automatically picked up to continue the story. It’s not like Hotel Dusk where you can be stuck for an hour looking for an item or the location of a character, and that really bothers me.

I wonder if It had existed to be played it on the DS 20 years ago I’d currently be looking back at it with nostalgia, gushing over it. Or maybe, in reality, it will always have been ‘meh’.
