A year after the events at Hotel Dusk, retired detective Kyle Hyde is fired from his salesman position at Red Crown, and his apartment at Cape West is due to be demolished. He receives a letter telling him to find the "Red Star" before the apartments are torn down.
The player holds the Nintendo DS vertically like a book. Select options and investigate areas of interest using the touch screen. Kyle can interrogate the people in the hotel, although if he pushes them too far he may get kicked out.
At the end of each chapter, Kyle will recount the events that have occurred. If the player completes the quiz, they can move on to the next chapter.

Throughout the game are references to Pinkie Rabbit, a cartoon Kyle admits he liked when he was a kid. This series-within-a-series is referenced a number of times throughout the Kyle Hyde and Another Code series, both developed by Cing.
It is possible to win a handheld Pinkie Rabbit game based on the Nintendo Game & Watch games, which were first released in 1980, the year this game is set.
You control Pinkie Rabbit who has to climb up and down ropes in order to collect carrots that hang from flying balloons at the top of the screen and return them to baskets at the bottom. Pinkie Rabbit has to avoid objects thrown by ninjas from the left and right, which includes hammers and pliers from the Game & Watch game Helmet.
In the Last Window Novel, Chapter 5 comments that Kyle won a "handheld gaming device from Japan released in 1980." It is also mentioned that Kyle used the game for a long while as a watch.

"I like suits. They're comfy and easy to wear."
This is a reference to a well-known comment made by a Youngster trainer in Pokémon Red & Blue:
"Hi! I like shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear!"

One of the framed pictures shows a lake with a caption underneath it. If you try to read it, Kyle says:
"I can't quite read… Lake… Ju…et? Must be the name of the lake.
