All in all, Hotel Dusk: 215 is a must-play game for all mystery fans who are in search for a perfect murder mystery game with plenty of surprises and twists. The interrogation branches into several queries and reads like a graphic novel.

Character animation is smooth and the facial expressions of each subject look very natural, be it anger, surprise or sadness. The visuals will remind you of noir-style graphic novels, and this feature adds more interest to gameplay. It also has a map with an icon that represents your character and helps you explore each corner of the hotel. When interrogating hotel residents, the game switches to 2D mode graphic-novel style. The game boasts a 3D first-person mode to search for clues and interact with objects. The point and click game mechanic allows you to snoop around and look for clues and objects that may help you to solve some inventory-based puzzles. One small mistake in presenting clues and ending up asking a wrong question may put you in trouble and you may be kicked out of the hotel, which will completely seal your chances of uncovering the mystery and you may have to play the game from the beginning. But the heart of the game lies in interrogating suspects and presenting the right evidence to churn out more information from the subjects. The game allows players to hold their DS like a book and use its microphone, cover and touch screen to solve various puzzles.
