Despite being one of the oldest game genres going, Interactive Fiction has never gathered much foothold into the gaming market since its original popularity in the early to mid-1980s. Of course back then a text adventure game could still be considered relatively new and interesting. When you consider that most home computers of that time were designed purely with home accounting in mind, just having any sort of game was better than nothing.
Pocket Gamer: "Although the majority of puzzles in Last Window are finely balanced, some of the later tasks require all the wit and guile of a master detective. In fact, unless you happen to reside at 221B Baker Street, it's quite likely you've already found yourself stumped.
And so, for the benefit of those of you who weren't penned by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, here's our step-by-step solution to every last one of those dastardly puzzles."
Videogamer writes: "Medal of Honor, Sonic 4, Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare and Last Window. Warning: Features explicit language."
Pocket Gamer: "It's been a bumpy year for fans of the whodunit puzzler Hotel Dusk. 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.
So it's a relief that Last Window: The Secret of Cape West is exactly the Hotel Dusk sequel we were hoping for."
