W - White Wine Bottle
Check out the wine bottle at "W". It's a white wine bottle. You will
get a "?" about who had white wine.
Do the same for the bottle at "R". It's a red wine bottle. You will
get another "?" about who had red wine.
Head to the restaurant next. Same sketch from previous one, with
updated location of the wine bottle:

R - Rose Bottle
P - Piano, pictures and other stuff
Examine the bottle at "R". It's a Rose. You will get yet another "?"
about who drank Rose.
You should now head back to Room 215, and search the package that Ed
sent you for the adhesive remover. Pick it up, and leave for Iris'
room.
Knock on Iris' door, and she will come out of the room. Ask:
> What wine did you drink?
Ros¨¦, as I expected.
Head to Room 211 now for Summer. Do the usual, and ask:
> What wine did you drink?
It was white.
Cut him off while he explains the beauty of the wine, and head towards
Room 212.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
REMOVING THE LABEL [ CHP622 ]
------------------
Surprisingly, Helen isn't in. But she can only drink red wine, since
the other two choices have been taken. So, go back to the kitchen,
and use the adhesive remover on the red wine bottle at "R". This will
zoom in the screen to the label itself:

-----------------/
Spread the adhesive remover all over the label with your stylus. Once
done, you will find that the corner at "A" will peel off. Click at the
corner to hold and drag your stylus downwards to remove the label.
NOTE: I heard that some people has actually TORN the label, and got a
"game over" here, so be careful.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
HELEN'S MEMORIES [ CHP623 ]
----------------
Go back to Room 212 - Helen should open the door now. She invires you
into her room. Talk to her, and she will eventually say that you make
her feel like she did 10 years ago. You can now ask:
> What happened back then?
She seems to be hiding something. I guess it's about time to drag it
out of her. I mean, this chapter has been running forever!
Before you proceed to dig secrets, select the label from your
inventory and show it to Helen. After that, leave the conversation
screen, and you will automatically ask her about the wine that she
shared with someone a few years ago.
When given the prompt, tell her:
> C'mon. I'm just curious.
Helen confirms that she shared the wine with someone 10 years ago.
When you press on about where this person is now, she appears pretty
shaken up. Ask:
> You don't know, do you?
She replies that she hasn't been in contact with that person since
that fateful day.
Now, time to tackle the "?s":
> Who was this person?
and then select:
> You care about him.
Helen will reply that despite her love for this person, she has
actually betrayed him.
Now, ask:
> How did you betray him?
She will say that she has abandoned him.
Next, ask:
> Why don't you contact him?
and select:
> You miss him too much.
She will finally reveal that this someone was actually a boy.
You can now ask:
> Who is this mystery person?
Helen will admit that this person was none other than her only son,
Alan.
Press on:
> Your son's name is Alan?
Alan Parker! She also confirms that she gave Alan a fountain pen on
that fateful day. After they separated, they never met each other.
Being a good samaritan, you want to get that pen back for Helen. If
you didn't remember who you gave it to earlier, it's Summer. Go to
Room 211 now.
You won't waste any time in asking for the pen from him. Tap the pen
off his hand, tell him to buzz off, and return to Room 212.
Inside, show the fountain pen to Helen. She confirms that the pen
belongs to her son. Ask:
> It's your son's pen, huh?
She replies that she gave this pen to her son 10 years ago, when they
were finally reunited.
Now, ask:
> You had to be reunited?
She repeats her earlier statements that she has abandoned her son.
Now, tap through the long conversation as you try to explain the
situation between Summer and Alan. You won't explicitly tell her that
Summer is the thief though. Personally, I'd love to see Helen show
him some colors...
Finally, you will get to hear Helen's story. Sit back, relax, and
read through the conversation until you hit the chapter's end. I'll
leave it to you to find out her past - it has got to do with her
previous job as a magician, and her lost-and-found relationship with
Alan.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ANSWERS TO QUIZ #6 [ CHP6QZ ]

2. ... five years ago.

======================================================================
======================================================================
12. CHAPTER SEVEN - 10:00 TO 11:00PM [ HDCHP7 ]
======================================================================
You decide to go back to the bar for Louie.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
10:00 P.M. [ CHP700 ]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
HYDE'S DAD [ CHP701 ]
----------
Back at the bar, talk to Louie. When he asks you to order a drink,
you can choose either option.
After some talking, you should ask:
> A guy like me?
Louie will give you some advice about secrets and all. When he prompts
whether you've any secrets, choose:
> I might.
Continue the conversation until you begin thinking about the past, and
about an appointment with Bradley. It seems that he wanted to talk to
you about the Nile case after it was over, but apparently, that
didn't happen.
Louie interrupts you from your thoughts. Continue talking to him, and
he will tell you about his dream of owning a place like this bar.
This will lead to a "?" about something you told him back in those
days in Manhattan. You can now ask:
> What story did I tell you?
Louie will recall the day that you busted him for the third time. When
playing the "good cop", you made up a story to convince him that life
is more than just picking pockets.
Say:
> I don't remember this.
He will remind that the story is about your father.
Now, ask:
> I told you about my father?
Ah, now you remember. You told Louie that your dad used to be a thief.
On his last job, he got bumped off.
Next:
> You believed my story?
Tell Louie that the story about your dad:
> It's true.
Louie will then tell you about his recent interest. When given the
prompt, tell you:
> I don't get it.
Seems that Louie is into bowling. You will reply that you love
bowling as well. This will set up a meeting for 11:00pm - a bowling
competition with Louie... in the bar!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
CECILY LEE [ CHP702 ]
----------
At just about this time, Summer walks in. He will be near where Helen
was earlier, near the matchsticks. Go to him and talk. It appears that
Summer was looking for you - he claims that he has something to
discuss with you.
You can now:
> Talk about Alan.
He will reply that he has no idea where Alan could possibly be now.
No clues, no nothing. When you press him further, he retorts that he
will approach the media and tell them the truth about his plagerism
once he checks out from the hotel - it was his plan to use the media
to search for Alan.
You will eventually tell him that, even though you didn't mean to
expose his secrets to others, you let it slipped. When he asks who you
spoke to, choose to:
> ... tell him the truth.
You reveal that you've told the story to Helen, and have given the
fountain pen to her as well. Louie will soon interrupt the talk as he
serves Summer's drink.
Once Louie leaves, you can ask Summer:
> What do you want to talk about?
Surprisingly, the topic that Summer wanted to discuss is about Iris.
He reveals that Iris bears a striking resemblance to the actress
Cecily Lee. He also tells you that there's quite a striking photo of
Cecily's doppelganger on this month's issue of Va-Voom!
Continue asking:
> Who is Cecily Lee?
Cecily is an up-and-coming actress who has garnered increasing
popularity recently. She started acting in a soap opera, and she has
received rave reviews for her performance from critics and fans. It
appears that she is scheduled to maker her debut on the movies next
years. Summer further reveals that Cecily was a model before she
started acting.
Wow, how did he know about these things?
He poses a good question though: Why would Cecily Lee be staying in
this hotel on her own?
NOTE: Could she, perhaps, be YOUR CLIENT? :)
If you want, you can show Summer the magazine to see his wild reaction.
Otherwise, leave the bar.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
MELISSA'S CHRISTMAS [ CHP703 ]
-------------------
You will find Melissa in the restaurant area. You know what to do...
After some initial small talk (you will find that Kevin has gone
missing again, by the way), tell Meliisa that:
> I'm not a presents guy.
Apparently, Melissa didn't get any presents as well. Soon, she will
suddenly say that her dad's a jerk (yeah, we know that). Of which, you
can press by asking:
> Hey, calm down.
After consoling her, you will automatically give her the Pinkie Rabbit
doll. Sigh, so much trouble to get it, and you gave it away...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
10:20 P.M. [ CHP710 ]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
THE CHRISTMAS TREE [ CHP711 ]
------------------
Go to the Central Hallway, and take a turn up to the stairs. Before
you reach, you will bump into Rosa. Amazingly, she's STILL cleaning.
Thankfully for her, this would be the last place that she needs to
clean, so she seems to be in a good mood.
When Rosa asks about Melissa, reply:
> She misses her mom.
More small talk, and then you can leave the conversation screen.
Just as you're about to go, Rosa stops and tells you something about
Melissa. It seems that the girl has asked Rosa about a Christmas tree.
Rosa will then ask whether you know the reason for Melissa's question
about the tree. Tell her:
> She didn't get one.
Now, Rosa will reveal that the Christmas tree and its decorations,
which has been taken down on the 26th, are in the storage room. I
think you know what this means...
Well, if you didn't remember where the storage room is, it's just
beside Rosa's room. Refer to the "A Date with Rosa" segment for the
map, and head towards there.
Boxes are aplenty here, but where's the Christmas tree? Refer to map:

R - Previous area (Right Hallway)
L - Lockers
B - Boxes/ Christmas Tree
L* - Locker with Black Light
Check out the locker at "L*" for some ropes, a cardboard box and a
black light. The black light is the only thing you can pick up for
now, which you secretly thought of using it to throw a party for
Iris.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
THE TREE BOX PUZZLE [ CHP712 ]
-------------------
Next, go to the area marked "B" and touch either of the top two boxes
there. This will trigger a tree-searching puzzle. It's difficult to
put this into ASCII drawings, so I'll just try my best to describe the
solution in words.
Anyway, touch the top box to the left and drag it down to the right.
Do so for the box below the previous box that you've just moved. Now,
drag the top box in the middle column to the right. Next, drag the box
below the box you've just moved to the right.
You should be able to see the Christmas tree box at the left end of
the room now. Toss the two boxes in front of it to the right. Now,
check out the front row. Move the third box (from the left) up to the
top of the right column. Then, move the second box from the front row
and lift it on top of the fourth box. Then, move the first box on the
front row to the right.
You're nearly there! Now, there's this rather hidden box, which is the
second box on the second row. Lift it up to the right. Then, lift the
first box from the third row to the right. You should now see the
majority of the tree box. Touch the box and viola, you've found the
Christmas tree!
NOTE: If you still can't gain access to the tree, toss a few more
boxes to the right. The key to this puzzle is to simply move as many
boxes away from the tree box as possible.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
DECORATING THE TREE [ CHP713 ]
-------------------
Once you find the tree box, Melissa will come into the storage room.
Next puzzle coming up: decorating the Christmas tree!
Simple enough puzzle. The tree has hooks of a few colors: green, blue,
red and yellow. The decorations at the foot of the tree are also in
these colors. You will need to drag a decoration to match the color of
the hooks. For example, the blue bell should go to a blue hook, and
the red ribbon should go to a red hook.
Once you've match every decoration, a star will appear at the foot.
Drag it and put it on top of the tree to clear the puzzle. This will
delight Melissa, and it feels darn good to make a kid happy.
Mila walks in soon after, followed by Louie. Seems like Rosa has seen
through you, and invited all these guests to your little storage room
post-Christmas party. :)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
GALLERY MAY [ CHP714 ]
-----------
Talk to Melissa now, and she will fall asleep - I guess she's just too
happy. You will ask Louie to bring her back to her room. Once both of
them leave, you can continue your unfinished conversation with Mila.
Her fever is gone - wow, what kind of antibiotics have Rosa given her?
Anyway, Mila will soon write something into your notebook. Tap to get
the notebook back from her, and check the contents on page 6/6. It
says:
"I have no one."
Hmm, creepy. Continue talking, taking back the notebook and checking
out Mila's next content:
"Where is dad now?"
Seems like Mila has no idea where Robert Evans is. More writing and
all. Check the next content:
"Santa Monica.
Gallery May."
This should be where Mila's dad used to live in. It appears that this
Evans guy used to own an art gallery. Oh, gosh.
Rosa will walk in after this. Looks like you can't ask anymore clues
from Mila at the moment. Once both of them leave, head towards
Dunning's room - it's miraculously unlocked now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

You can examine everything in the room, but the only point of interest
at this moment is the photo of the young girl at the lower part of
the room, at the area marked "P". Once you examine this photo, Dunning
will walk in.
Amazing, he doesn't throw you out of the hotel. You will automatically
leave the room.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
10:40 P.M. [ CHP720 ]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
KEVIN [ CHP721 ]
-----
Go back to the lobby to trigger the next event. You will find the
frequently missing Kevin here. Talk to him, and you will find that
he's drunk. After some arugments, he walks to the front desk.
Go towards him to trigger a cut-scene, and then go closer to initiate
a conversation.
When he burps, ask him:
> You OK?
He tells you that he doesn't feel so good now.
Ask:
> Who were you drinking with?
He tells you that it's none of your business.
No futher options to talk, so leave him for now. Return to the lobby
to get a short scene. You're curious about who Kevin has been drinking
with. Since he was drunk, you should head back to the bar now for some
clues.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
GRACE [ CHP722 ]
-----
Once there, you will find Iris. She leaves soon after, but you can now
drill Louie for some tidbits. He tells you about a dynamic duo here
earlier who couldn't control their liquor. Hmm...
> Who was drinking in here?
Well, it's Kevin and Iris, of course. Looked like they were talking
about something serious too.
> What were they talking about?
Unfortunately, Louie doesn't know... exactly. But he did overhear
something about a Gallery May in Santa Monica.
Huh?!
> What about the gallery?
This seems to tie in to where Mila's father works. Things are getting
more and more interesting.
Now, you can ask about the photo of the young girl you saw in Dunning's
room:
> Who's the girl in the photo in Dunning's room?
Nope, Louie doesn't know.
It's time to go back for the drunken duo. Leave the bar for a short
scene, which suggests that you talk to Iris first. She should be at
Room 216 now.
You go straight to the point about Iris' boozing session with Kevin,
as well as Gallery May. She replies that an associate of hers works in
the gallery. Kevin then told her that he knew about it. She then tells
you that she needs to speak with you about something.
Woohoo, you can finally get into her room.
Talk to her, and she will tell you that when she returned to her room,
she saw an odd thing. Ask her:
> What's odd?
She tells you that her suitcase has been moved. It seems that someone
was here during her absence.
Now, ask:
> Was anything stolen?
Indeed, something was stolen. She hasn't contacted the front desk,
since she hated the possible questions that she has to answer. After
some talk, she will reveal that she has lost a small envelope.
Ask:
> What was in the envelope?
She tells you that she has made a promise to the person who gave the
envelope to her not to divuldge its contents. You can ask her:
> Who gave you the envelope?
More will-she-will-she-not, and she will tell you that the person who
gave her the letter is something called Grace. She tells you that
Grace's name is written behind the envelope.
Press further about this Grace person:
> Who is Grace?
Iris hesitantly tells you that Grace is a... friend. Nothing more
comes out from this, so ask the next question:
> What about the gallery?
The name of the gallery is indeed Gallery May. Press further about the
gallery, but both options will lead to nowhere. Do note that she does
confirm that her friend works in the gallery, as disclosed earlier.
Finish off the conversation with Iris. You will tell her that you've
got a hunch about the contents of the envelope.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
KEVIN'S SECRET [ CHP723 ]
--------------
Go right on the corridor, and you will Kevin along the way. Approach
him, and he will walk away sheepishly.
You can find him back at the front desk, so here towards there to
drill some clues out of him. He doesn't want to talk, but press him
anyway:
> You two had business?
No, it's not against the law if you drink with Iris, Kevin.
> I got reasons for asking.
You tell him about Gallery May, and he admits that he knows the place.
He then tells you that his wife used to work there.
After more conversation, you can tackle the "?s" meant specially for
Kevin:
> Talk about Iris.
Tell Kevin:
> I believe you just met.
Kevin will tell you that it's true that they've just met, but Iris
told him that she knew Grace.
Of which, you should press:
> Who's Grace?
Yes, Grace is Melissa's mother.
Press further:
> Why did Grace leave?
Er, urm, ...
Ok, leave that topic aside. Choose the only option left:
> Talk about Gallery may.
Choose:
> You never worked there.
Kevin reveals that Grace started working at the gallery seven years
ago. In fact, she was working there when they got married. Grace took
a few years off after giving birth to spend time with Melissa. She
eventually missed work life, and worked for an art musuem when Melissa
turned two. Things were still working well for them then.
Now:
> Talk about Grace.
Choose:
> It was you.
He admits that it was all his fault, which leads to:
> How was it your fault?
Erm, argh, urgh... dude's got a headache, but soon, he will pour his
story to you. Turns out there Kevin lost a patient in the operating
room. He got sued for malpractice, and he lost the case. The court
ordered him to pay an amount for damages, but it was just too much. He
eventually asked for a divorce because he didn't want Grace to pay for
his mistake. Grace refused the idea, and told Kevin that she would
raise the money.
Raised the money, she did, but Kevin has no idea how she did it.
Despite getting through the ordeal, Kevin ended up not trusting Grace
anymore. He kept asking her where she got the money, even though he
has promised not to. They ended up fighting just about everything,
which eventually led to her departure.
And the reason he's here now? He found a matchbook from the hotel in
her purse, so he came here hoping for a clue to find Grace.
After the conversation, you will hit the end-chapter quiz.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ANSWERS TO QUIZ #7 [ CHP7QZ ]

1. ... Melissa.
2. ... Storage.
3. ... Louie.

13. CHAPTER EIGHT - 11:00 TO 12:00AM [ HDCHP8 ]
======================================================================
Don't you need to sleep, or something? Anyway, you will begin in Room
215, and you've two immediate objectives: find the envelope, and a
bowling date with Louie.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
11:00 P.M. [ CHP800 ]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
THE ENVELOPE [ CHP801 ]
------------
The phone rings again when you try to leave. Amazingly, it's 11:00pm,
and Rachel is still in the office. Doesn't she need to sleep, too?
Anyway, Ed will take over the line soon. You tell him about Gallery
May, and Robert Evans. Expect some breakthrough from Ed soon.
Once you leave your room, you will trigger a cut-scene. Some noise is
coming from a room at the end of the corridor. I'm guessing it's the
Utility Closet, so go there.

Search the garbage can at "E" to pick up the following items:
1. A cassette tape.
2. A discarded envelope that is addressed to Iris, from Grace.
Ok, you've found the envelope, but Iris isn't in her room. Go back to
the front desk for Kevin then.
Talk to Kevin, and he will eventually leave.
Remember your bowling appointment with Louie? Go to the bar now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
THE CASSETTE TAPE [ CHP802 ]
-----------------
Louie is eager to go, but you need to find out the contents of the
cassette tape first. You try to borrow a cassette player, but it's in
Louie's room. He also tells you that the deck has been in serious
demand tonight.
Press:
> Someone else wanted it?
It was Dunning, who claimed that he wanted to listen to some music
earlier...
Anyway, Louie will give you the permission to use his deck, on the
condition that you don't take it out of his room. So, go to his room
next.
When you were at Louie's room earlier, you couldn't examine anything,
which was why I didn't provide a sketch. This is the long-awaited
drawing of Louie's cave:

|-----| L Why did you have the tape?
She expresses anger at your listening to the tape. After the exchange,
show her the discarded envelope and the cassette tape. Leave the
conversation screen after that, and she will invite you back into her
room.
Talk to her, and she will reveal that Grace sent this tape to her.
Press further:
> Why bring it here?
Grace told Iris to wait for her to call again, and if she doesn't
hear from Grace by Christmas, she was to bring the tape down to the
hotel.
When you mention about Kevin, Iris seems quite surprised that he's
actually Grace's husband.
Ask:
> You didn't know?
She now understands why Melissa had that rag doll with her.
After more intense questioning, Iris claims that she has no idea where
Grace is now. In fact, she has been searching for her as well.
"?s" time:
> Let's talk about the plan.
Choose:
> The tape is insurance.
Iris reveals that she was supposed to hand the tape to a certain man.
Press further:
> Who gets the tape?
The person who was supposed to get the tape is the man "who painted
the angel". Huh?
Next:
> Let's talk about the doll.
Choose:
> You recognized it.
Iris has seen the doll before today, although she didn't know that
Grace made it. Instead, she finds that the doll looks very much like
her dolls.
Press further:
> You had that doll?
It seems that the doll looks like the dolls that Grace and Iris used
to have when they were kids.
Next:
> Let's talk about Grace.
Choose:
> It's because she's vanished.
You will relate Kevin's story about how Grace raised a large sum of
money to save Kevin from the lawsuit in '77.
Press further:
> Where did Grace get the money?
Well, Iris has no idea. Finally, she will reveal the secret between
Grace and herself to you - Iris is actually Grace's little sister.
Now, listen through Iris' life story. Possible interesting point
includes a plane crash in '60 that took her mother's life, her reunion
with Grace after being separated, Grace asking for a large sum of
money from her, and the timing when she received the letter and the
cassette.
It appears that the money that Grace raised for Kevin was from some
illegal means, and the tape was her insurance. Hotel Dusk and the
angel painting must be connected, somehow.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
11:20 P.M. [ CHP810 ]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
BOWLING [ CHP811 ]
-------
Go back to Louie's room and talk to him. He will offer to sneak into
Dunning's office to take a peak at the guest register from two years'
ago - maybe Grace stayed here before, no?
Louie heads straight out of the room after the conversation. You still
have a bowling date, remember? Go out to the Left Hallway to find him.
Yes, you're going to play bowling right HERE.
Bowling is easy enough - simply tap and hold the ball with your
stylus, and then slowly move it towards the pins. You should easily
hit eight to nine pins in a single roll. There will be three rounds
to go, but on the third round, Louie will roll the ball straight into
one of the potted plants along the corridor.
Apparently, it's "Dunning's favorite plant". Ho ho.
You will automatically find something hidden in the pot. It looks like
a key. Tap it to add the old key into your inventory.
The commotion is all too much for Rosa. After scolding Louie, she
reveals a shocker - Mila is missing. She seems to be hiding something,
and scuttles off quickly before you can ask for more information.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
MEETING AT THE ROOFTOP [ CHP812 ]
----------------------
You will ask Louie to take the first floor, while you hit the second.
Before you go, you pass the old key to Louie. You know, a sidekick
has to do what a sidekick does.
Head up to 2F for a short scene. Walk all the way to the right, and
use the door at the end to reach the roof.
Mila is here. Touch her shoulder to get her attention, as before,
and talk to her. Check your notebook after she writes, and she will
write on page 7/7:
"Who are you looking for?"
That seems to be the question that Rosa asked her. Mila will write
another message into your notebook soon, which says:
"I know your father."
Wow, what a revelation.

she will invite you into her room.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
THE OLD BROCHURE [ CHP822 ]
----------------
Once you're done, leave the room. Rosa is ready to talk now.
You will first ask some questions about the photos in the back room.
She replies that those are all pictures of HER. She will then tell you
a little about her marriage.
You will follow up by asking about Mila. Rosa claims that she said
nothing to Mila, of which you can object by saying:
> C'mon Rosa. Don't lie.
You explain that Mila has written in your notebook about Rosa's
conversation with her. Rosa will come clean, and reveal that she knew
Mila was looking for someone because of an old brochure.
Next, ask:
> Rosa... Come on, now.
She inadvertently lets slip about Mila's father, heh. She then
explains that she has promised not to tell...
Time for the "?s" again:
> Talk about the pamphlet.
This should be about the brochure that Mila was holding when she
first arrived at the hotel. So, choose:
> Mila's brochure.
Rosa admits that as soon as she saw that brochure, she knew something.
So, ask her:
> What did the pamphlet tell you?
... that Mila must be looking for someone who stayed here a long time
ago. Ok, not helpful.
Ask the next "?":
> Talk about Mila's father.
Choose:
> You DO know something.
Rosa will say that if Mila is indeed looking for her father, then she
may remember something.
So, ask:
> What did you remember?
Long story to convince Rosa, but she will remain silent.
Next "?":
> Talk about the promise.
You think you know whom she made the promise to:
> Someone I know.
Well, that's right, and that person has trusted Rosa with a secret.
> So, what's your big secret?
Finally, Rosa will bulge. She will reveal that she has seen that old
brochure before, in Dunning's room. She feels that Mila must have
stayed here a long time ago. Dunning only became the owner of the
hotel five years ago, but the brochure is much older than that. This
made Rosa curious, and she asked Dunning about it.
This comes the shocker - Dunning has stayed here once with his family
a long time ago. That was when he got that old brochure in his room.
It seems that Dunning has a daughter, but she seems to live pretty
far away. So, the girl in the picture in Dunning's room must be this
daughter... Jenny, perhaps?
After the talk, it seems that Rosa has misunderstood, and thought that
Mila was Dunning's daughter. She then gives an interesting comment -
seems that Dunning wasn't very keen in housing Mila. In fact, he
wouldn't get anywhere near her.
Before this ends, you will ask Rosa about the possibility of an angel
painting hiding in this hotel. She doesn't know about this, but she
mentions about the abundance of apple paintings. Now, I hope you've
examined all those apple paintings, because the next puzzle you do
will involve them all...
Leave the back room, and promise Mila that you will find her father.
As you make your way to the nearby stairs, your pager will beep. It's
Ed.
Go back to Room 215, and give Ed a call.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ROBERT EVANS [ CHP823 ]
------------
Ed reveals that Gallery May has closed down some seven years ago.
Evans has inherited the gallery from his grandfather. It seems that
Evans has a knack of finding undiscovered works by famous painters.
He was making the money, and then all of a sudden, the gallery shuts
down. There was no clue as to why the sudden dismay, and Evans has
disappeared since.
Ed ends by saying that Evans wife, Mary, died in a plane crash in '60.
Does this ring a bell? You know, Iris' mother died in a plane crash in
the same year as well.

APPLE PAINTING #1 [ CHP901 ]
-----------------
When you asked Rosa about the angel painting, she mentioned about FIVE
apple paintings in the hotel. If you've diligently noted down the
location of these paintings so far, you will notice that there are
only four. Your objective now is to solve the mystery related to these
paintings.
Move towards the middle of the room, and you will hit a short scene.
The first apple painting is in the very room you're in now, if you
didn't already notice. It's found on the wall at "A", just above the
bed.

Examine it - this time round, a puzzle will be activated. Your job is
to find a hidden alphabet on the painting. For this painting, the
letter "Y" is found on the second apple from the left. Simply move the
cursor on the screen until you find it, and then tap on the letter to
move on.
Hmm... five apples and the letter "Y".
NOTE: Check page 9/9 of your notebook for an expertly drawn apple
painting!

Leave Room 215, and go to the area marked "A" to examine the painting.
This one has two apples. Check out the top right corner of the
painting to find the alphabet "E".
So, it's two apples and the letter "E". Take note of that.

APPLE PAINTING #4 [ CHP904 ]
-----------------
The fourth painting is found near the restaurant. Just take the stairs
down to 1F, and go all the way to the end of the Central Hallway to

There are three apples on this painting. Let me guess... "N"? Yes,
it's the letter "N", and it's found on the middle apple.
Now, question is, where is the last apple painting?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
THE OLD KEY [ CHP905 ]
-----------
Go to the lobby now to trigger a scene. You will find Louie, fresh
from discovering that Mila is back in Rosa's room. You will share the
new information that you've found during his absence. Continue to talk
to him until he tells that he has found something about that old key
that you discovered after the bowling session.
To make it a double surprise, Louie also tells you that he has checked
the guest register, which may lead to some clues about Grace.
You can now initiate the "?s" sequence:
> What's the old key for?
Seems like the key is for the wine cellar. You mean, they have a wine
cellar here?
One down, more to go:
> What's the story with Grace?
Unfortunately, the guest logs in the office only go back one year.
Damn, what a trip!
Soon, Dunning interrupts the proceedings, and Louie will scuttle back
to the bar. After both of them leave, take the Right Hallway to Rosa's
room. Before leaving, Louie will tell you to meet him at the wine
cellar at 1:00am. Note that down if you need.
