This is pretty short but it's fun! Do recommend but it's much better if you've already played LW before. Pretty cute and the presentation on this is very fun, it's nothing major but it acts well as a cute taste of the actual games. My favourite parts were definitely the game overs, you can get pretty crazy ones in there.
Thank you so much for using the Hotel Dusk sprites for Kyle. I've just started Last Window and I seriously can't get used to seeing Kyle in a suit and tie.
What a hilarious case. i would love to see more HD/LW things in AAO.
"But I'm a customer, and I sure see this..." LOL. This case is really funny and enjoyable. Now that I've finally started playing Hotel Dusk, I feel like I can appreciate the knocking on the door a lot more... The sprites look really good with this format as well.
A short case (which is to be expected, seeing that there are only three characters), but a fun one anyway. Some interesting alternate endings as well as a satisfying main one.

And yes, I fell for the 'breaking the door down' bit.
Good use of the pictures, sprites, and music. The music from the games it's inspired from gave a nice and relaxed feel to it.
This was really fun! I've only ever played the original Hotel Dusk (no Last Window export out here...) but I still found this super charming and sweet; it had the same type of humour as the game and I loved how seriously it took itself.

I got the plant game over and I have no regrets because it was hilarious.
