| 2025-01-26 |  | | This was a fantastic game. The mysteries were increasingly harder with each story, but were a lot of fun to solve. Highly addictive game. I want another game like this to continue the story. I loved the animation, the graphics, and the story. I loved being able to look at a 3D crime scene and searching for clues. I highly recommend. |
| 2024-09-25 |  | | I played Layton Brothers Mystery Room almost 10 years ago and just bought files 3-9 again. Overall don't regret the purchase, although I wish that Level-5 didn't leave the characters to never have a continuation. (There is also a small Manga adaptation which was pretty cool) |
| 2024-02-22 |  | | It's a very fun game, good mysteries, and interesting overall story. The latter cases are indeed for additional purchase, so the first few cases are more like a demo / teaser, but considering the overall quality of the whole game, I'd say it's definitely worth the extra $5 it takes to unlock everything else. If you enjoy criminal mystery games, download and try it out. By the end of the first few cases, you'll know if the game is worth the extra price for you or not. |
| 2024-01-20 |  | | Sure, it only has ~5 hours of content. But those 5 hours have had plenty of love and attention put into them. Great writing, engaging mysteries, and overall rather well put-together. Would definitely recommend if you want an actually decent game to pass the time with. Of course, it's trialware (first two cases are free, the other 7 cost money) but the full game is definitely worth the pricetag. |
| 2023-04-15 |  | | Only played the free episodes so far, but found this thoroughly enjoyable. I rather enjoyed that you actually have to use some bit of "detective skills" to figure out the culprit. I wish it was a little harder though, honestly. Or even with less of the choose from 3 options type style only because it makes some of the answers rather obvious. Either way, I do recommend this game to others looking for a detective style mystery & I look forward to purchasing the rest of the game in the near future! |
| 2023-04-07 |  | | Really wish there was a sequel, I fell in love with Lucy and both versions of Al. I had to use a guide at some points because my memory isn't the best for spotting inconsistencies in statements and evidence, but the game also doesn't penalize you for wrong guesses so a guide isn't strictly necessary. Diane has one of the best character designs ever and I'm sad she appears so briefly. Also I rather liked the self contained cases, less to keep track of mentally when playing for hours. |
| 2022-11-06 |  | | If 2D murder mystery and Professor Layton games pique the curiosity, this game is a perfect combination of both worlds. The diverse characters, riveting story, and fantastic musical score meld together to make one of the most iconic games I had the pleasure of playing on a phone. This is one of the rare mobile games I have sought out and I even paid to keep playing the game too. This game is worth the $5 and, if possible, I recommend playing the Professor Layton games first to appreciate it too. |
| 2021-01-15 |  | | Firstly a reminder that this game is not free overall - only the first few levels are and the rest need to be unlocked. Having said that, it was an excellent game with a very reasonable price that made me wanting more! Unlike Hershel, Alfendi is a detective, solving crimes rather than puzzles. This means finding evidence, analysing it and coming to a conclusion. It's got an excellent puzzle design and a captivating story alongside it. I fully recommend to any fan of the original Professor Layton series, or anyone who enjoys detective games. |
| 2020-12-23 |  | | This is one of my favorite games!! I love it!!! It's a total different style from the original Layton games but it's very refreshing and intriguing. It has a wonderful balance of challenging puzzles. Would love to see another game in the future as a continuous of this particular storyline. |
| 2020-11-01 |  | | I quite like this game. I think it's entertaining and definitely gets me thinking. Though there are some things I'd love to be added: fast forward and skip buttons for the dialogue and being able to connect my account to my email and/or being able to export the data, so I don't lose my progress if I uninstall and reinstall later. |
