Puzzles abound in Layton’s Mystery Journey out this October

Nintendo Australia have confirmed that Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle And The Millionaires’ Conspiracy will arrive on the Nintendo 3DS family of systems in Australia on October 7th.



The story this time begins with Katrielle setting up the Layton Detective Agency on Chancer Lane, determined to prove her worth and hoping that the exposure will help her to uncover clues regarding her missing father’s whereabouts. Whizzing around London on her trusty bicycle, solving case after unlikely case, Katrielle will become embroiled in a quizzical quest that eventually leads to her unwitting discovery of the Millionaires’ Conspiracy. But she’s not alone in her endeavours – a young Gressenheller student by the name of Ernest Greeves joins the agency as her assistant, and the team quickly grows to three when Sherl, a talking dog, becomes Katrielle’s first client and subsequently a trusty sidekick.

The Nintendo 3DS version of the game includes more puzzles than any game in the Layton series thus far, and what’s more, bonus puzzles will be available to download daily for one year, starting from launch day, though you need to be online to get them. With additional minigames to round out the package, puzzle fans will find plenty to keep their brains occupied as they explore the charming and visually rich world of Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy.

The game is already available for mobile devices, if you don't own a 3DS, but if you don't have one, then if you get one, you can get any of the other Layton games from the past decade, something that you will enjoy for sure.
