Product Description
-------------------
Professor Layton receives a letter asking for help from Luke.
The strange thing is that this letter is from 10 years in the
future, and the Luke in question is not Professor Layton’s young
apprentice, but rather his older self. According to the future
Luke, the London of the future has been brought to the brink of
ruin by Professor Layton’s future self, who is the head of the
largest crime syndicate in town. It seems the only man who can
save London and stop the evil Professor Layton of the future is
Professor Layton himself.

Gameplay
--------
Like all games in the Professor Layton series Professor Layton
and the Unwound Future is a single player puzzle adventure.
Puzzles are essentially brainteasers touching on a large variety
of puzzle types, including spatial orientation, logic, riddles
and many more. The game's story reveals itself as the player
successfully solves a minimum number of puzzles that she/he faces
using the DS stylus to move throughout the game's hand-drawn
style game environments. Success at puzzle solving earns the
player in-game coins. A certain number of coins can also found by
simply exploring the game environment. Players are given multiple
chances to solve puzzles and when stuck can choose to spend coins
in order to buy hints. The game keeps track of puzzles found,
puzzles solved, the player's score and playing time, and features
easy-to-use save functionality, a journal for note keeping and an
area to save items found for later use. In addition to the game's
165 built-in puzzles, additional puzzles will be available for
download on a weekly basis for a limited time after game launch.
