Renowned Japanese game company LEVEL-5, best known for the critically acclaimed PROFESSOR LAYTON , INAZUMA ELEVEN and NI NO KUNI, has released LAYTON BROTHERS MYSTERY ROOM, a crime-solving adventure game featuring enigmatic cases and new mysteries for the Android operating system. Previously only available on iPhone / iPad / iPod touch, the game can now be downloaded for free on select Android devices in North America and Europe with two initial cases to solve, with additional cases available as in-app purchases for players who find themselves engrossed in the extraordinary adventure of the son of world-beloved Professor Layton.
“Bringing the Professor Layton spin-off to Android with LAYTON BROTHERS MYSTERY ROOM continues the great success LEVEL-5 experienced with the iOS release of the game earlier this summer,” said Akihiro Hino, President and CEO of LEVEL-5. “Android users can now join in the fun, solving fascinating crimes that create the same sense of page-turning allure as a mystery novella.”
LAYTON BROTHERS MYSTERY ROOM assembles the finest detectives of Scotland Yard who take on only the most extraordinary and twisted cases in what is known as the “Mystery Room.” The game features genius investigator, Inspector Alfendi Layton and his newly assigned assistant, Detective Constable Lucy Baker, who must delve into each case’s dark secrets — but it’s up to the player to investigate the evidence, find the contradictions, and unravel the truth that lies shrouded in mystery.
- Investigate the Crime Scene: Uncover the details behind each crime as you zoom in and examine suspicious objects to add them to your mounting list of evidence. Piece them together to form an airtight case.
- Cut through the Web of Deceit: Expose the crucial contradictions in the case files as you match them with evidence that just doesn’t add up. Call in the witnesses and find out if they have anything to hide.
- Face the Culprit in the Final Showdown: These criminal masterminds won’t make solving their heinous crimes easy. Find the holes in their arguments until their lies shatter around them, bringing the truth of each mystery to light.
