This is pretty much the first time this installment of Layton is playable, and Level-5 personnel limited the playtime to two of the beginning puzzles. But because 1UP took forever to solve it, they only got to see the very first puzzle. After watching a bunch of cutscenes, and conducting dialogues with random people at the in-game press conference (including the police detective from Professor Layton and the Curious Village), a random uniformed waiter-type fellow shows up on-screen. He babbles about something in Japanese, and soon, their confronted with a screen full of tables; some with tablecloths, some with flowers, and others with neither.
Original Gamer: "Professor Layton might appears to be a Mr. Goody Two-Shoes, but after playing through one of his games, Eduardo thinks he's kind of a jerk."
Pocket Gamer:
Previously known as The Last Time Travel, the next Professor Layton game has now been named The Unwound Future (at least in North America).
As either title highlights, the underlining plot to the many puzzles you'll be tackling this time is time travel, with the E3 demo revealing the opening story, developed once again by series creator Level-5.
Every puzzle has an answer and Professor Layton and the Unwound Future isn’t much of a riddle.
Level 5 registered a trademark for Professor Layton and the Unwound Future. While it’s not a direct Japanese translation, the subtitle suggests Layton (and his sidekick Luke) are heading to the future. That’s basically the plot of the final game in this Layton trilogy.
