About this game
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 archaeologist, 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.
With puzzles created by Akira Tago, author of the ‘Atama no Taisou’ (lit. ‘Head Gymnastics’) books, 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.
If you are obsessed with mind-bending puzzles, Professor Layton and the Curious Village is for you!

A faithful remaster of the title that spawned a legacy. The puzzles are just as satisfying, the characters just as colourful, the atmosphere and narrative just as gripping as in the original. We get the complete package here. With the leap to mobile, this game has become accessible to a wider audience, which it deserves. I wholeheartedly recommend this game. Here's hoping subsequent games in the series will also see an overseas HD release.

Perfect port of the DS version, while it is noticable it is a port of the DS (dual screens) it wasn't hindering the experience. I hope the developer will port the rest of the games over. The only thing I hope that might be improved upon is making notes, it feels rather clunky and is hard to make neat (like the DS version)

An absolute classic let down by poor touch controls. No fault to the game or puzzles or the story but the port from the DS is lazy without any attention to the difference between mobile touch screens for fingers and DS that uses a stylus. As a result the response is incredibly laggy and some puzzles especially the sliding puzzles are very difficult to manipulate. It's easy to miss out on story text if you tap after it hasn't advanced it can suddenly advance 2 in a row. A real shame.. please fix
