Who doesn't love a moody detective, worn down by the horrible realities of a world that refuses to change? Bonus points if they're one job from retirement, or have been pulled from retirement for one last job that only they can do.
Hotel Dusk: Room 215's protagonist, Detective Kyle Hyde, is self-destructive, sardonic, and impatient. He's an ex-detective now working as a door-to-door salesman, who is compelled to put on his detective hat one last time because of all the mysterious incidents occurring in his vicinity.

The game was originally released on the Nintendo DS in 2006, having been developed by the now-defunct company Cing, a Japanese developer that primarily made point-and-click adventure games.
