I wouldn't say it's overly amazing or anything like that... sure it was a pretty good game, but I wouldn't give it THAT much credit.

What I find funny is that you didn't even touch on what makes this game a... well... GAME. hahaha

What you described was the "E-Book" portion of the game... which... basically the game is a book with pretty pictures.

To me the main fun point to the game is the puzzles.  The silly things the game makes you do to solve these different puzzles is pretty interesting, and most of them make you feel very satisfied when you figure them out.

Other than that... this game is a book... and... really doesn't have any replay value at all.  The game is extremely linear, and you spend over half the game knocking on doors wondering wtf to do, or where this person is that you need to find.

Other than that... the game is interesting... but I wouldn't buy it new.  I'd find it used if I could... and wouldn't pay over $15 for it.

Also... the artstyle you like so much is called rotoscoping.  The technique surprisingly works amazingly well for this game.

Yeah, I realized when making it that I didn't touch up on the puzzles one bit, but I was, in all honesty, too lazy to go back and change it.

Thanks for your added opinions. HD is really just "my kind of game."

I <3 games like this, Adventure games are they called? Or to be specific, point and click. And Professor Layton, oh Professor Layton, those puzzles are so fun, even though I'm terrible at them.

Also, I've gotten Layton right at the start, and the downloadable puzzles keep making me come back : D

I just downloaded 12 : P

Which is 12 weeks, but I got it at launch, and I've beat the game, and put 15 hours into it.

Yet to play it, but I heard it wasn't as good. Also, I heard there was some major faults with the plot. Is this true?

As I said in the last post, there is some replay value from weekly downloadable puzzles (probably about 30 right now)

As for the story, I understood it, but I didn't find any faults. But I was dissapointed by the conclusions to a few parts of the mysteries. D:
