About Layton: Curious Village in HD

Awarded Best Handheld Game of 2008. Discover the title that launched a legacy!

With over 17 million units sold worldwide, discover the original title that shaped the puzzle-adventure genre and launched a legacy. Digitally remastered in HD for mobile devices and with new, never-before-seen animated cutscenes, it’s time to run the cerebral marathon with Professor Layton and the Curious Village.

The tale begins as Professor Layton, a true English gentleman and famous archeologist, drives to the remote settlement of St. Mystere with his apprentice, Luke, in response to a request from the widow of a wealthy baron. The baron’s will indicates that the family treasure, the Golden Apple, is hidden somewhere within the village, and whoever finds it will inherit the whole of the Reinhold Estate. The Professor and Luke must search the town for clues leading to the precious heirloom.

Featuring a distinctive artistic style that oozes old-world charm, the game’s quirky cast of characters instantly comes to life. The animated cutscenes, remastered in HD, tell key parts of the tale in gorgeous detail. And ever-present in the background, the original soundtrack, beloved by many players, keenly captures the mood of the Layton universe.

Based on the "Atama no Taisou" (lit. "Head Gymnastics") books by Akira Tago, Professor Layton and the Curious Village brings together more than 100 brain teasers including slide puzzles, matchstick puzzles, and even trick questions to flex players’ observation, logic, and critical thinking skills. In addition, rather than just selecting challenges from a list, players uncover puzzles through conversations with the villagers or by investigating their surroundings.

Fantastic game. I love it. Found Layton Bros Mystery Room a few years ago and was so sad when it was over. This one is even better! (Except for the music. It's appropriate for the game but, that jazz score on Layton Bros is hard to top!)

Fantastic game and adapted to mobile perfectly. Definitely worth the purchase, I just wish they would bring the HD version of the original trilogy to Switch.

Don't let the $10 pricetag scare you: this is a full-length, beautiful game (that was originally $35 on the Nintendo DS in 2008) with amazing music, visually arresting art, a compelling story, and ZERO microtransactions. I played some of it via the original DS release when it hit the States in 2008, and I must say, ...

Professor Layton is a classic, faithfully adapted for mobile with a few extra bonuses for players of the original. The puzzles are challenging but rewarding and as always the story is top notch!
