Hello. There's a game I played some years ago, in the first year or two of the DS. I thought it might have been Hotel Dusk, but I am playing it through again and it doesn't seem quite as I remembered. I am pretty sure it was set, at least partly, in a hotel, but I specifically remember one of the puzzles from when first played the game - can anybody recognise it from what I am about t mumble (I shall spoiler it in case anyone wants to play Hotel Dusk in the future and doesn't want his puzzle laid open...)

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
There's a puzzle that involves two shapes or images, one on either screen. You have to half-close the DS so that the top screen reflects in the bottom screen, the two images come together to make a single image, and it give you a code which you later enter or use elsewhere


Ring any bells to anyone?

I think I know the game you are talking about, as I had it.

Another code: Two memories? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trace_Memory)

That isn't hotel dusk, I don't think, that's something called Another Code Two Memories or something. I have it.

Ah - Another Code - yes, I have played that too, so that makes sense - good work lads. I was wondering why this game didn't seem to have the right feel to it. I have Played Hotel Dusk before, but it doesn't seem to have made as much of an impression as Another Code did, which, if I remember rightly, was a great little game with great puzzles to solve.

Mr Dave wins!

I was quite glad I played it before any walkthroughs were released, as it was sufficiently mind bending that I would've ended up using one. Think I also managed the better ending too.

I remember thinking it was wonderful at the time, but I think I have sufficiently forgotten most of the workings to give it another go and it still be fresh and interesting.
