Professor Layton and the Curious Village is the first game in Level-5's Professor Layton series, published by Nintendo outside of Japan. The title in Japan is Professor Layton and the Mysterious Village.

Gameplay

The game plays like an interactive story with point-and-click (touch) elements, featuring a professor/puzzle expert known as Professor Layton and his apprentice Luke, as they attempt to solve the mystery of St. Mystere's Golden Apple and Baron Reinhold's legacy. Along with the story, there are many challenging interactive puzzles which test the player's critical thinking skills.

Reception

Reviews for the game were generally positive, praising the 'brain training' elements that were popular at the time, for example Nintendo Power gave the game an 8.5/10 score. IGN gave an 8/10 (United States) and 8.5/10 score Australia and Europe.[1][2][3] On the other hand there was reception that the game had little replay value or that merging adventure and puzzle elements 'doesn't merge well'.[4]
