Play Professor Layton And The Unwound Future Online

Professor Layton and the Unwound Future came out for the Nintendo DS in 2010, developed by Level-5. It was a time when the DS was full of unique puzzle and adventure games, and this one fit right in. You step into the shoes of Professor Hershel Layton, a gentleman archaeologist with a fondness for brain teasers.

You guide the Professor and his apprentice Luke through a detailed world, tapping the screen to explore different locations and talk to a cast of quirky characters. The main goal is to unravel a mystery involving time travel and a future London. You spend most of your time solving a huge variety of logic puzzles, from sliding block problems to tricky riddles, which you collect in a puzzle index. Between puzzles, you hunt for hidden hint coins in the environment to buy clues when you get stuck. The pacing is deliberate, letting you think through each challenge, and the difficulty can be quite sharp. It feels like being a detective who uses wit instead of a weapon.
