Introduction

What is this game?

Hotel Dusk: Room 215

What is this game about?

It's a mystery visual novel created by (now defunct) Cing for the DS.

That's it?

It is a mystery VN. Telling more would be spoilerish.

Fine. So what are the rules about spoilers?

NO SPOILERS AT ALL ARE ALLOWED, EVEN IN SPOILER TAGS!

What about the sequel?

AGAIN, NO SPOILERS ARE ALLOWED, EVEN FOR THE SEQUEL!

I'm planning to LP the sequel, Last Window: The Secret of Cape West, whenever this LP is done, so no spoilers for that game is allowed.
Edit: I'm asking for help in getting the Game Overs in that game, so any explanations about it can be made in spoiler tags. Please don't spoil any plot twists, though.

I heard that there are many game overs in this game?

There are. I am going to do all the game overs in a chapter AFTER I finish the normal run in that chapter. I will make some exceptions though.
I'm also doing the normal run in a completed file and the game over run in the new file. The story is mostly the same and I will be pointing out major differences between them.

So how are you going to differentiate your commentary and the game's dialogue?

Normal game dialogue will be in normal text.
(Kyle's thoughts will be in brackets).
Chosen dialogue options will be in bold
My commentary will be in italic
Important words will be underlined
