Also, Hotel Dusk is a perfect "Where do I go game?"
I'm sorry to say but I've had to consult a guide many times just because it has some weird puzzles to solve or stupid things to do before the game advances.
Like, one part has you finding a pen on the floor, you pick it up and you can't make out a name on the pen. So you want to find out how to make out the name. So I'm stumped, look up a guide. Turned out you were meant to take some chalk from a chalk board outside to put some on your finger to wipe on the pen to get the name.
Or, there would be a part where you have to go somewhere or talk to someone, and it just wouldn't even give you a hint of where to go. You're walking around the Hotel hoping for a scene to happen, but nothing does. When you'd eventually check it up it'd be something like "Oh yeah, remember that door that was locked for the whole game? It's open now lol"
Hell the current puzzle is stupid. He finds an unwound cassette tape, and he has to wind it up. No biggie right, just use a pen. Uh, nope. The pen I have is too round so I can't use it, it just slides around the holes. I mean if this was me, I'd get the two keys I have in my inventory to twist the holes to wind up the tape, or hell I'd use my fingers. Whatever the game is making me find will be stupid....and let's just check the guide...
Ah, alright. Of course. Makes sense I guess, I mean why else would there be a pencil in the suitcase. I mean, unless this was common knowledge to people in the 70's, and it's just been lost on people like me (Who, looking back I haven't had to use a cassette tape since 2008, and not once have I ever found an unwound one) then I guess it makes sense. Still a really annoying thing to do.
There's a razor too, will Hyde wake up in the morning and be like "Hmm, hair has grown on my face somehow, WHAT DO I DO?????" and time will stop because nothing ever happens until Hyde wills it to.
