{{work}}

=== The series in general contains examples of: ===

* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: You thought ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CErqPU_s_u0&feature=related Violet Sky]'' was good in ''Hotel Dusk''? Try the jazzy remix from ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBndciSxHzs Last Window]''.

** There are more of them though. The soundtracks are generally very effective and fitting for the mood of the game. A few examples; ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwDrR6hIYWQ Believe]'', ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NuCn2-5M_o&feature=related Promise]'', [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm88TKN_SXE&feature=related Heat Up]'', ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcXfPaz5t7w Hangover Blues]'', ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4b8M6O6GUs Play It Again]'', ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_z4mR4yDNo Sharp Edge]'', ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0azOoHjaVX4 Secrets]'', ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwdCg8Gqqfk The Last Sleep]'', ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdMwLYdQvQw Sunset Men (Arranged)]'' and ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0sA-7BYQmM Man's Back]''.

* [[Ho Yay]]: Kyle with Tony, Bradley and Louie... Speaking of Louie, it's hard to not get vibes of this when he's talking about his old friend Danny.

 

=== ''Hotel Dusk'' contains examples of: ===

* [[Foe Yay]]: Kyle and Bradley. Let's put it this way: If the ''only'' thing changed in the entire game was Bradley's gender, and the entire rest of the game was kept completely unchanged... the thing would be immediately classified as a [[Incredibly Lame Pun|totally straight]], heterosexual chasing-the-lost-love-interest story. This isn't mere subtext in ''Hotel Dusk'', this is just plain TEXT.

** More [[Ho Yay]] than [[Foe Yay]], really. Brian {{spoiler|tells Kyle in his letter that he}} harbours absolutely no ill will against Kyle despite the fact that Kyle ''shot him'', and Kyle states straight out to Ed that he doesn't hate Brian, that chasing Brian has nothing to do with revenge. He just wants to ''understand''. Besides, let's recap the pre-game events:

*** Kyle quits his job as a respected police officer, essentially throwing away his entire (and very promising) career, because it was getting in the way of finding Brian Bradley. Granted, his superiors were probably going to fire him anyway... over ''not doing his job any more'' due to spending all of his time hunting down his erstwhile partner.

*** He has spent every waking moment of the three years before the game doing essentially nothing but following up any leads that might lead him to Brian. He took the job he has partially because it would allow him to move around quite a bit, making his hunt easier.

* [[Memetic Mutation]]: "I got myself a paper clip."

* [[Paranoia Fuel]]: By around Chapter 2 or 3, you will be worried about running into/getting kicked out by Dunning everywhere.

* [[The Woobie]]:

** A good portion of the cast! There are also some [[Jerkass Woobie|JerkassWoobies]] and [[Stoic Woobie|Stoic Woobies]].

* [[Woolseyism]]: In the German version, Kyle gets so tired of making generic comments about the furniture that he sometimes gets very creative - saying, for instance, [[First-Person Smartass|"Oh, it's a mint-green elephant. Wait, no, it's a table. Sorry, my mistake."]]

** By contrast, most of Kyle's deadpan snarking were [[Lost in Translation]] to the French version, in which the furniture-clicking comments are even ''more'' generic and boring; however, it has Louie call Melissa by the cutesy nickname "Meli-Melo" as he picks her up to carry her back to her room, making the already [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|heartwarming scene]] just [[Squee|unbearably adorable]].
