Rating Summary
This is a puzzle-adventure game in which players follow Professor Layton and his young apprentice as they attempt to solve the mystery behind a ghostly creature. As players solve puzzles and explore town areas, they can trigger various cutscenes, some of which depict violent acts (e.g., characters punching and kicking each other); in one sequence, gunshots ring out before the camera cuts to a character lying on the ground. The dialogue occasionally makes brief references to murder and suicide. Some dialogue includes mildly suggestive references (e.g. “Are your legs tired? Because you've been running through my mind all day” and "your hair—it looks so soft and . . . touchable.”). In a bonus game, players can select a “defining trait” for a character (e.g., “Fashionissimo,” “Smooth Talker,” “Sweet Tooth”). For “Smooth Talker,” the accompanying text reads, “Your natural charm makes you irresistible to the opposite sex.” Dialogue also includes a few references to wine (e.g., “We have several aged wines in the cellar” and “Our friend Layton is quite the wine aficionado.”). In one casino environment, players can wager in-game currency on a card game called Higher Lower.
