## Layton Description
“There are tales of a box that brings death upon any who dare open it. Tell me, do you think those rumors could be true?”

With over 17 million units sold worldwide, Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box is the second installment of the popular Professor Layton Series, digitally remastered in HD for mobile devices.

Professor Layton, the world-renowned archeologist, and his trusty assistant Luke have tackled some of the toughest mysteries in the world. When Dr. Andrew Schrader, Professor Layton’s friend and mentor, inexplicably passes away upon taking possession of the mysterious Elysian Box, the only clue left behind is a ticket for the opulent Molentary Express. Layton and Luke embark on a voyage of discovery, unaware of the extraordinary twists and turns that await them.

Featuring a distinctive artistic style that brings the old-world charm of the Layton Series to life, this delightful adventure will have you traveling into the unknown alongside Professor Layton and Luke. Look out for familiar faces, but don&#039;t be surprised if you encounter new blood, too.

Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box brings together more than 150 brain teasers, including slide puzzles, matchstick puzzles, and even trick questions to flex players’ observation, logic, and critical thinking skills.

## Layton Reviews in United States

### ***** "Great game as the second installment of series"
After I finished the first installment of the series, I rushed to play the start playing the second one. The diabolical box is as good as the curious village, with more puzzles (some are difficult like chess) and new mini games. The end of the story is still a little bit sad but very touching like its predecessor.

Overall, I think that playing the Professor Layton game can make you both play and learn at the same time.

### ***** "Better than the first"
This game, while much more difficult, is much more engaging than the first game. If you liked the first game there is no way that you wouldn’t like this one.
-- Jick llll, 2020-12-13

### ***** "BUY THE BUNDLE"
Just buy the bundle you save so much money and get easily 50 hours of gameplay with the first 3 games
-- Hehhbdeeb, 2020-08-14

### ****- "This port is all but perfect except for one thing..."
This is a near perfect port of the original DS game! 

My only gripe is the “true” solution for one of the puzzles near the end isn’t the same as the original! It was such a cool way to solve the puzzle and provided one those “omg” moments that’s unforgettable. 

I won’t spoil it for those who have never played the original, but the current solution doesn’t even make sense and robs today’s players of one of the greatest moments of the Professor Layton series.
-- ACBU_Presents, 2020-07-31

### ***** "So Psyched!"
I loved these beautiful and challenging games back when they were on DS, and am so incredibly excited to play them again! The pictures are so beautifully clear and the puzzles are the same balance of challenge and uniquity! Absolutely love the adaptation...
-- Oli Jennelle, 2020-07-27

### ***** "My favorite!!"
My absolute favorite game brought back to life! I played back on the Nintendo DS, and I’m so glad to get to play again on my phone!! Obsessed!
-- Me745789(4, 2020-07-17

### ***** "Take my money please"
Please follow thru with unwound future! This game was my childhood and im willing to pay however much yall charge 💕
-- Lololopopolsjd, 2020-04-08

### ***** "100% Perfectly Renedered"
It has been very nostalgic to replay through this golden handheld game. 

The graphics update is beautiful,

Thank you
-- Ridlon457, 2020-02-16

### ***** "UF mobile when?"
A fantastic job has been done translating these to mobile. I can’t wait for Unwound Future to be ported!
-- Foodie01720, 2019-11-18

### ****- "Love it!"
I love the Layton series and this entry in particular. My only gripe is that I have an auditory disorder which causes my nose to bleed when I process noise at certain frequencies. Every sound in this remastered version is led in, unfortunately, with a very jarring sting that triggers my nosebleeds. 

So I can’t listen to the game! But it’s okay. Everything else is polished and wonderful! Thank you Level-5!
