-I keep getting these messages as the one you can see in the left picture.
-Also, some of the evidence pictures are white, as you can see in the middle picture.
-And my last problem is that I can't read the bellboy's affidavit (as can be seen in the right picture) nor any other evidence I got after that one, like the bullet holes, the statue or the elevator.

In intro.txt, try adding the line "addev bellaffidavit" and then start a new game. See if you can read the affidavit now.

Got the strange key, and noticed room 106 doesn't exist. I imagine I'm supposed to somehow gain access to it, but... what do I do? ^^' The only person I can talk to is Maris.

There's something in the garden that contradicts the fact that Room 106 doesn't exist.

In the garden, examine the big first-floor window.

Here we gooooooooo~ Expect typos

That last sfx in the intro… Was that from the GK2-2 intro? I forget…

Interesting background o.O

You want a break? Well the cameras are on, so tough luck, Nick!

He doesn’t remember it being this far away? He’s been there before? O.o

Lolrain

Spooooookyyyyyyy~

April 1, eh…? Wonder what sort of pranks there will be :3

Your sprites always amaze, Cardy *_*

Her voice blips remind me of Animal Crossing :3

The hotel is all the way out here because that’s where the building was built, silly :P

What the…?! We’re staying in a hotel, and it’s NOT Room 215?! What kind of blasphemy is this?!

Don’t go to the first floor. It’s haaaaaunteeeeed~

“Up there”? I thought it was the ground floor xD

Zomg, I knew the hotel would be haunted! …And it DEFINITELY was because I’m so awesome, not b/c it’s in the title or anything!

Ghosts? Where’s Maya when you need her? :P

I want Maris’s profile alreadyyyyyyyyyy

Whenever I examine stuff, if I use the arrow keys to move, I get an error message… (but if I click through it, it works fine)

“is stood”? I didn’t know you could use it in the passive that way xD

The sofa looks moar hot pink to me…

Wait…………….. EUROPEAN FLOORING SYSTEM?! WHAT!?!?!?! …I give the case a 3/10.

A shadowwwwwwwww, oooooooooh

He’s goooone, spoooookyyyyyyy

Well, this isn’t the room from the intro. That’s a good sign :3 It looks kinda familiar though… what’s it from? (…Although I could just recognize it from looking through the giant background zip xD)

I think Nick might’ve said “hailway”…

How did they disappear? They took a step to the right, silly :P

And here we go…

Was Maris wearing gloves before…? I happened to randomly make a save in the middle of her conversation… good thing too. And the answer is no, she wasn’t. Change blindness has nothing on me!

Darn it, Nick… I noticed the new gloves all by myself! Don’t point it out so quickly! T_T

This guy isn’t freaky in the slightest.

I already know this guy and his theme from Turnabout of Courage xD His theme song always reminds me of The Pink Panther…

“What happened to Snow?” Because only one detective can exist on earth at any given time :3

And so Maris Ruben was accused of murder… by a fake policeman because she was kinda quiet. Uh… ^^’

Also. Spriteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees *_*

Greisen is a guest, Nick. Not very difficult :P

Also. Who died? xD

No reference to April’s Fools? Awwwww

The books are just for decoration? *sadface*

The elevator graphic is nice, but… I hope it doesn’t get too annoying ^^’

LOLAAI

“or something” xD

“Stan Nyph”? Hmmmmmm

Vertical trajectory, but direction unknown? Eh? O.o I guess either he was laying in bed, and his shooter shot horizontally, or he was standing up and… Ceiling Cat shot him? xD

C’mon, how long until I meet the character named “Ghost”? :P

…So now what do I do?!

Oh present Terry okay.

I’ve seen plenty of murders where a gun went missing, but I think this is the first time a gun appeared out of nowhere xD

It sounds like this info is new to Brisbane… Hasn’t he heard this from the other guests yet? ^^’

Nuuuuu, Nick! What about the disappearing figure? Ofc it HAS to be related. Yay genre-saviness!

Crime scene door is ajar? Well… I’m calling it quits for now here.

Back~ Sorry for the wait :P

What would a detective be doing at a crime scene? I can’t imagine!

What’s so odd about it being fully loaded? O.o (And why is the empty round on the bottom…?)

Fingerprints on the cup? Obviously contradiction is obvious :P

“Do they think I did it?” Why do you think you’re locked up? ^^’

Very convenient amnesia :P

When the background inverts for the psyche-lock, Maris is in front of the detention center…

C’mon, there’s only one reason I’d show you my attorney’s badge!

A psyche-lock over that? ^^’

GRAPHICSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS *_*

lolHotel Dusk summaries xD

Really, Maris? You think you have it in you to kill someone? ^^’

An hour after the crime? Wouldn’t it take an hour for Terry to drop Maris off at the police station? O.o

The speed lines go the wrong way when you object…

She grabbed the cup, and then put on gloves, Nick… Didn’t we already figure that out? ^^’ (But I guess it’s more for the sake of making Snow flustered, so :P)

Yes, Nick, she WAS seen wearing them… You saw them yourself, remember? :P

“suggestive” kinky
“And in a hotel of all places!” you’re doing this on purpose aren’t you? xD

“Harry”? You haven’t even met Larry! xD

Had to cheat to find out I’m supposed to say suicide >_> But the gun was found too far away from the body! D:

The suitcase doesn’t back up the suicide theory? D: (He didn’t bring any luggage or anything b/c he was planning on killing himself, and the briefcase is empty b/c the only thing in it is the gun.)

In Snow’s third testimony, there’s no ‘back’ button when you go to present evidence D:

Nick, I thought you already knew what the witness saw xD

A hotel with the Bellboy and a forbidden floor…? xD

Another cup of coffee? Weeeeird O.o

I can’t get more testimony about the magically disappearing coffee? -.-‘

That gun couldn’t make a noise that loud… Maybe they took the bullet so they wouldn’t realize that that gun wasn’t used?

Of COURSE you remember shooting someone? It just makes the mystery more exciting! :3

Hole in the floor? The murderer shot up from below! …Possibly through the hole, so that they could see the victim. (Funny thing is… I actually also had an idea for a murder that had the tape of the body cover up a hole xD)

“Morning light”? :P

SPRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITES *_*

I wonder why it didn’t detect the spiritual energy of the magatama…

So… when was the victim’s gun fired? O.o And if the murderer was on the first floor and shot the victim from below, what was the ghost doing in the room…?

No one else believes her that the victim attacked her? Who else has she told?

Oh we can go to the police department now? :o

No funny examine convo for the chief and blue badger? D:

Cedric wasn’t there… OR WAS HE?!?!?? *DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNN*

Is that… the elevator from MSAT? :o

“Ronald”…? O.o But the ghost’s name is…

Because every time there’s some horrible incident, they must always leave it in the same condition! xD

I bet the bellboy wants us to return it because Cedric set a trap that’ll kill the guy who took his book! :D

And why can’t you get your phone, Cedric? ^^’

Gunpowder…?

“Surrounded by officers”? I thought nobody was there…

Why won’t Nick do anything about the strange spot? …Oh there we go :3

Yay, in Room 106! Inb4nursery. So to get in, you need that key…? When did the bellboy say he took the diary again?

This reminds me of Again… xD

So the ghost was in the room… but I thought they were below? And why didn’t get they hurt from the bullet? O.o

Darn it, Nick! This is a goldmine! Why aren’t you adding anything to the court record!?!

…Lol, he used the word “goldmine” too xD

What the heck… At the police station, at the ‘examine/talk/move/present’ menu, if I click on ‘talk’, Snow’s sprite changes… O.o

Randomly stopped at the first floor on its own? I saw that coming xD

Whoa five O.o And finally a psyche-lock! xD

Wait, where’d the big distracting thing go? D:

Three witnesses? Well if we’re getting Maris first… I think we’re getting Cedric after…….. So Vick is the murderer? O.o

Why he didn’t hear the scream? Well, if Cedric was on the ground floor, the gun was fired from the first floor, and Maris was on the second floor… Maybe the gunshot was close enough for Cedric to hear but Maris was too far away for Cedric to hear? Now… how exactly do I present that? xD

Nuuuuuuuu that wasn’t it? D:

“jumping the gun” xD

Please let Maris’ fingerprints be on the pistol <3

…Or Vick. That works too, I guess. Makes it kinda easy, though >_>

Wait… Didn’t Vick check in after Nick? But wasn’t the gun gone when Nick arrived? *checks* Yes it was :o

I’m assuming he didn’t get interviewed b/c he wasn’t with the other guests b/c he had just committed the crime and then escaped. Except… the crime was committed in Room 106. If he’s the killer, then he should know where Room 106 is. So either he isn’t the killer, or he wasn’t looking for Room 106 yesterday…

Take out Brisbane’s eye! xD

Cosine won’t help you now, Barrows!

“Lying under oath is a serious offense” yeah right xD

Wait… Barrows only spoke with his client on the phone, but he’d recognize the client if he saw him? xD

His right ear felt funny…? But it looks like that earpiece is supposed to go in the left ear D:

So he got in through the window that night…? But what about the key… hm…

In a hospital?! O.o But… who brought him there…? :o

Aw, someone pointing a gun at someone else at the exact same time right near each other? You missed the opportunity for a great 1-5-like intro xD Oh wellz~

I wonder… Was the murder… an accident? Did it accidentally go off during the struggle? That would be… pretty crazy O.o

He thinks Barrows is trying to pin the blame on someone else? In other words, he admits Maris is innocent? :P

Nick, you think Barrows is more suspicious than Cedric? C’mon, he’s not the one who’s been inserting “Heh” into every other sentence recently ^^’

Epic music for a pretty simple contradiction xD

Ohohoho, THAT is the sprite post of a killer, good sir!

Oh he admits it :o

Zomg Presto? :o …It’s not very fast for a presto ^^’ (And no Bloody Tears? xD)

Why would a ghost hunter have an interest in Cedric…? Inb4 we find out the grandpa accidentally killed both twins

Lol, Nick is perceiving xD

Wait… How did that statue get in room 106 anyway? The only entrance is that window xD

I’m assuming Cedric wiped his fingerprints and planted Barrows’ while he was unconscious, but why didn’t he put them on the trigger? ^^’

Aw, I couldn’t point out that a gun pointing upwards probably wouldn’t recoil into his nose? Oh well

They won’t get Cedric b/c he doesn’t have a motive, but they’re going to get Barrows despite not having a motive either? …Well what do I care? It still means Maris is innocent~

Only one piece of evidence? Well, like when I’m always in a pinch… ATTORNEY’S BADGE GO!

Jeez, there’s so much evidence I’d like Cedric to clarify on! Picking just one is hard :x

“Elaborate” Please don’t ^^’ (I just finished playing Turnabout of Courage, soooooooooo)

He built it overnight?!?!? O_O H-How did he do the molding and stuff to match the rest of the wall…?

“my” witness, Brisbane? >_>

…How did the bullet get from Room 206 to Room 106?! .__.

Okay, so he took the bullet… But why leave it in Room 106? Why not keep it of himself, or bury it in the garden or something? ^^’

Hmm… What exactly stopped Maris’s bullet, though? ^^’

I like all the detail on these side-view graphics xD

Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaa that picture of the ‘ghost’ falling is niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. How’d you do those speed lines? :o

Uh… How did Cedric know that the hat and coat had been shot? O.o

I… think I got all that xD What was that Arceus thing (or w/e it’s called) that he mentioned, though? O.o

I thought he was confessing everything… Why can’t he say what business it was? ^^’

ANOTHER smuggling ring? xD

Gloves = poison? Uh…

Yay, a Not Guilt verdict! :D

A secret organization behind everything that’s revealed at the very end? Reminds me of NYT xD

Yep, we were due for a Terry scene…

Oh, Nick presents the card on his own? :o (I mean, it was obvious, but… ^^’)

Two members in prison? Maplethorpe and who? :o

Showing two pictures at the same time?! Whoa, I think you just overloaded my brain!!

Ohai Baldy

That looks like… a cross between Souta and Naitou xD



Well… It’s overrrrrrr! Simultaneous ‘yay’ and ‘oh noezzzzzz’!!! So, let’s see... The crime and mystery were pretty good… although I usually tend to like premeditated crimes and such rather than fortunate coincidences. Although I suppose the main coincidence was hitting Nyph with the bullet; a lot of the mystery was created when Cedric covered it up. Tbh, I thought Scapegoat was a bit better, since it was longer (I think… it had the flashback trial) and I also felt a bit more ‘invested’ in the plot, since it involved canon characters and the background of your new main OCs. The court sections were a bit easy tbh, but I thought all the contradictions and stuff were good. (…except for proposing the obviously-wrong suicide theory >_>) We found out in the end that this case IS tied to the overarching plot (which I like :3) but during the actual case it felt filler-y. The music was good and fitting. The writing were solid. All the graphics were absolutely fantastic. (*is very jealous*)

Can’t wait for episode 3!!~

Still I don't understand the meaning of room 106. Why are there so many toys if this room only a storage for fakes? Nostalgia?

It's the house's old nursery, where Cedric's grandfather shot himself. You'd recognise the images from the flashbacks when the Bellboy was telling the story of what happened.

Here we gooooooooo~ Expect typos
I'll try not to point any out...

That last sfx in the intro… Was that from the GK2-2 intro? I forget…
Yep!

Interesting background o.O

You want a break? Well the cameras are on, so tough luck, Nick!

He doesn’t remember it being this far away? He’s been there before? O.o
Referring to the brochure :P

You'll catch on seven comments later :P

Zomg, I knew the hotel would be haunted! …And it DEFINITELY was because I’m so awesome, not b/c it’s in the title or anything!
Old hotels MUST be haunted, it's the law...

Ghosts? Where’s Maya when you need her? :P

I want Maris’s profile alreadyyyyyyyyyy

Whenever I examine stuff, if I use the arrow keys to move, I get an error message… (but if I click through it, it works fine)
I've no idea why it does that. Must be an update thing.

“is stood”? I didn’t know you could use it in the passive that way xD
It's correct... I think...

The sofa looks moar hot pink to me…

Wait…………….. EUROPEAN FLOORING SYSTEM?! WHAT!?!?!?! …I give the case a 3/10.
Bah, it's what I'm used to!
Even though I keep slipping into Americanised spelling in the case, but that's besides the point!
And P.S.: Told you.

A shadowwwwwwwww, oooooooooh

He’s goooone, spoooookyyyyyyy

Well, this isn’t the room from the intro. That’s a good sign :3 It looks kinda familiar though… what’s it from? (…Although I could just recognize it from looking through the giant background zip xD)
The backgrounds zip, yes. It was a huge help when it came to making this case.

I think Nick might’ve said “hailway”…
...Really?

How did they disappear? They took a step to the right, silly :P

And here we go…

Was Maris wearing gloves before…? I happened to randomly make a save in the middle of her conversation… good thing too. And the answer is no, she wasn’t. Change blindness has nothing on me!

Ohhh Blackrune's case? Yeah he asked me if he could use Greisen a few days ago.
And yeah, Pink-Panther-esque was what I was looking for. :)

“What happened to Snow?” Because only one detective can exist on earth at any given time :3
Lol of course!

And so Maris Ruben was accused of murder… by a fake policeman because she was kinda quiet. Uh… ^^’
There are reasons that you'll find out...

Also. Spriteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees *_*
Monacle face again. -_Q

Greisen is a guest, Nick. Not very difficult :P

Also. Who died? xD

No reference to April’s Fools? Awwwww
There is, but it's a bit later on.

Is that… the elevator from MSAT? :o
The elevator from wha?!

“Ronald”…? O.o But the ghost’s name is…
The ghost is the grandfather :P

Because every time there’s some horrible incident, they must always leave it in the same condition! xD

I bet the bellboy wants us to return it because Cedric set a trap that’ll kill the guy who took his book! :D
Haha no he's just a coward.

And why can’t you get your phone, Cedric? ^^’
Phoenix was closer...

“Surrounded by officers”? I thought nobody was there…
Use your imagination ;)

Why would a ghost hunter have an interest in Cedric…? Inb4 we find out the grandpa accidentally killed both twins
One of them. The other is Cedric, who is alive.

Lol, Nick is perceiving xD

I’m assuming Cedric wiped his fingerprints and planted Barrows’ while he was unconscious, but why didn’t he put them on the trigger? ^^’

?!

…How did the bullet get from Room 206 to Room 106?! .__.

Okay, so he took the bullet… But why leave it in Room 106? Why not keep it of himself, or bury it in the garden or something? ^^’
Bury it in the garden... Not a bad idea actually. And Phoenix could've stumbled upon it. Somehow.

Hmm… What exactly stopped Maris’s bullet, though? ^^’

I like all the detail on these side-view graphics xD
Despite it consists of silhouettes? :P

Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaa that picture of the ‘ghost’ falling is niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. How’d you do those speed lines? :o
The zoom lines thing I found on Google Images, I then just faded it into the image.

Uh… How did Cedric know that the hat and coat had been shot? O.o
He saw it on the floor and found the bullet within the coat.

I… think I got all that xD What was that Arceus thing (or w/e it’s called) that he mentioned, though? O.o
Aha yeah, it was a lot to explain in one go but I couldn't find any other way to space it out. Like I said, I got stressed a lot with this case. xD
Aculeus is the newly reformed smuggling ring once led by Quercus Alba, but it was picked up again by a new leader (as foretold in AAI).

I thought he was confessing everything… Why can’t he say what business it was? ^^’
Because it would be very bad for him...

ANOTHER smuggling ring? xD
It's the same one, but under "new management" so to speak.

Gloves = poison? Uh…
It was meant to be like: so she didn't get any on her hands while supposedly putting it in his coffee.

Yay, a Not Guilt verdict! :D

A secret organization behind everything that’s revealed at the very end? Reminds me of NYT xD

Yep, we were due for a Terry scene…

Oh, Nick presents the card on his own? :o (I mean, it was obvious, but… ^^’)
Yeah I thought a Present moment would've been pointless xD

Two members in prison? Maplethorpe and who? :o
Whoever was watching him through the bars in the very last scene...

Showing two pictures at the same time?! Whoa, I think you just overloaded my brain!!
Impressed, aren't you? -_Q

Ohai Baldy
Baldy? Who? If you mean the guy on the bed, that's Maplethorpe and his orange hair.

That looks like… a cross between Souta and Naitou xD
Who does? :S


Well… It’s overrrrrrr! Simultaneous ‘yay’ and ‘oh noezzzzzz’!!! So, let’s see... The crime and mystery were pretty good… although I usually tend to like premeditated crimes and such rather than fortunate coincidences. Although I suppose the main coincidence was hitting Nyph with the bullet; a lot of the mystery was created when Cedric covered it up. Tbh, I thought Scapegoat was a bit better, since it was longer (I think… it had the flashback trial) and I also felt a bit more ‘invested’ in the plot, since it involved canon characters and the background of your new main OCs. The court sections were a bit easy tbh, but I thought all the contradictions and stuff were good. (…except for proposing the obviously-wrong suicide theory >_>) We found out in the end that this case IS tied to the overarching plot (which I like :3) but during the actual case it felt filler-y. The music was good and fitting. The writing were solid. All the graphics were absolutely fantastic. (*is very jealous*)

Can’t wait for episode 3!!~

Thanks for playing, I'm glad this case held up due to my initial worries when I first released it. :D
I tried to make it as mysterious as possible, in an almost creepy sort of way. (C'mon, children's toys are ALWAYS creepy xD)
It's true I ended up with the odd contradiction, but this was a really difficult plot for me to try and pull off. Unlike Scapegoat which was ad-libbed, this was my first planned case. Much harder than I thought too. :S
I've been planning Case 3 in my head for a while (the main antagonist being the only part I've truly worked on, and Ping' being the only one who knows who it is ;)) but it's still a bit of a mess at the moment.
Sneaky fact: It involves THREE victims! (Two being murder victims, the other being badly wounded but alive)
Thanks again for sharing your thoughts, I always look forward to long reviews and to see what people are thinking while playing it! Glad you enjoyed it!

The plot twists, how everything is connected,the past references, I never thought I'd see Quercus Alba again

Redd White and Quercus Alba are two of my favourite villains from the series, I wanted to include them and elaborate on them more in the game. Redd White blackmailing Vex Vulper, Alba's crime ring being picked up by a new leader as foretold in AAI.

None that'll be included in Case 3. ;)
I already have the villain (or villains?) planned out.

In Snow's third testimony, when asked if you have any proof that Nyph had intent to kill Maris, wouldn't the coffee be sufficient proof? I mean, it was cold. He didn't drink a sip of it. Which would imply that he didn't order coffee for the purpose of ordering the coffee, but rather to get Maris up there.

You used Pitch Black Intrusion. I LOVE YOU

I just thought it was a good "final confrontation" theme for Cedric. He's been likened to a vampire before (the character I based his appearance on IS a vampire, funnily enough) and with that extra thought about a Castlevania track...

In the first time at the detention centre i have to break the psyche locks of Maris. At first I shown the coffe and said that she used gloves about service, thus i broke the first lock. But I'm stuck in breaking the second, beacuse i tried nearly everything in the record and didn't work. What I have to show?

Go back to the hotel and use the elevator to find it doesn't work, so Phoenix uses the stairs. There's something in the stairs that needs to be examined and added to the Court Record. Present that at the second lock.

I looked already on the stairs but I didn't notice the blood stain on the rail!

The thought of suicide crossed my mind, but I dismissed it because of the location of the gun and the fact that he ordered coffee before he died. How was I supposed to know I had to be wrong for once and wait for the prosecution to correct me? Also, suggesting suicide should have been possible right at the beginning when he said that "nobody else was in the room and it had to be her". But no, I had to present meaningless evidence, then wait for the prosecution to correct me, then suggest suicide and then wait for them to correct me again. Even Phoenix was like "oh also why was it fully loaded derp".

And I still don't get how "there were prints on the plate so she couldn't have been wearing gloves" was a contradiction. She WAS wearing gloves. That's a fact and even Phoenix saw it.

I can see how that part would come across as unnecessary and annoying. I had a really difficult time scripting this case, particularly the placement and timing of events. For the first trial loads of different scenarios didn't make the cut, much sillier than the suicide one too.

I occasionally make little cross-references to the other AA games to tie in with the timeline. :P

Wish I could.

Yeah... I think the reason Scapegoat was longer was the flashback trial really. When I get round to Case 3 (*cough* IF *cough*) I want it to be the typically long grand finale of the game.

Thanks! As frustrating as they are to script, I much prefer making investigations to trials. Coming up with all the filler dialogue for unimportant statements, making/finding contradictions, etc, seriously annoys/bores me.

His sprite base was Luke Atmey. Seriously. His arm when gripping his cap was from scratch. His hands holding his "ghost-buster" are Valant Gramarye's.

Exactly what I was hoping to achieve. ^_^
