Comment of the game producer

Thank you very much for such a splendid prize following with a previous work "the mysterious town",

In this series, we had thought that we want someone who has never played the game before to enjoy. We wanted this game to be "a game that mothers can even play", so we devised it that a choice to not come out at all. All of staffs are very glad to hear a lot of voices like "the game which this was able to clear for the first time".

In addition, a mystery to have nothing to do with a story too much came out in the previous work, but we considered the point, and for all the main mysteries, it is in a problem to be related to a story.
A mystery and the ties of the story become stronger and stronger and think that we may have had you enjoy the world of Professor Layton still more.

The release of 3rd series and multimedia development etc, we would like to offer new Prof. Layton in the future. We hope this product to be loved for a long time by all of you.
Thank you very much.
