Lv42: Last Window (Hotel Dusk Sequel) Preview

Justin Potts of LevelFortyTwo.com gets hands on with the Japanese import of the Hotel Dusk: Room 215 sequel: "To point out that games are designed to be played seems self-explanatory to a degree (hopefully) forgoing any necessity for the comment. Created as an interactive form of narrative, the player's participation largely defines the experience, creates it, really.

"However, I've taken a different stance with Last Window: Mayonaka no Yakusoku (Promise in the Dead of Night), the successor to the mystery adventure cult hit Hotel Dusk: Room 215 from developer Cing and Nintendo, which garnered largely nothing but roaring cheers from players lucky enough catch wind of its mere existence and then make necessary strides in order to track down a copy. No, in this case, I've decided to present you with a preview having never laid hands on the title, not even for a moment, yet I'm approaching the final chapter as I write this."
