enameru neibi


that's enamel navy!
which is also the color of my nifty new ds lite!
nice huh. of course if it dies in the states im in trouble, but i dont care much.

So, for anyone who owns a ds i'd like to highlight a fun "interactive noir novel" game. It's called Hotel Dusk. It has a sketch style character design that may remind you of that amazing ah-ha video from back in the day. Anyway, you take the role of a retired detective out to find his old partner who double crossed him. He works as an on the road salesman who moonlights as a private dick type. The writing is very much in character with the gritty noir male type. Which more often than not are just funny. Anyway this game takes you through Hotel Dusk as you learn about the other guests and work to trace your ex partner. the game is fully stylus driven and you hold the ds on it's side with a 3d map on the left screen and a top down view on the touch screen where you move your character. It's not so much big on action, and the story is semi predictable, but its fun nonetheless. And if you ever played Trace Memory, this is by the same developer but the game is much better.
That'd be about it for now.

Korea will be posted eventually, maybe. Oh and pokemon Diamond is sucking up all my time. never thought i'd get sucked in.
