the game.

GAME OVER
Depending on the paths conversations take, and how you handle certain
puzzles, Kyle may get tossed out of the hotel or retreat to his room. If
either one happens, it’s game over for you. If you want to pick up from
where you left off, choose Retry. If you want to return to the title screen,
choose Back to Title.
Question Panels
When Kyle hears something that sparks his curiosity,
he’ll store a question about it in his mind. These questions are divided into
three different categories, and he can ask them whenever there is a break
in the conversation. The three question types are shown below.
Questions that can be satisfied by talking with one person. If you miss the chance to ask
one of these questions, you may remember it later. In this case, the icon will be grey.
Questions that require talking to more than one person, or questions that you don’t know
whom to ask.
Questions necessary to solve a specific problem.
