Professor Layton and the Unwound Future
Professor Layton games are usually based around the titular professor and his assistant, Luke, solving crimes in different towns around London all while taking on puzzles that are given by the towns-people. We’re not sure why everyone is obsessed with riddles and puzzling questions, but it’s their job and that’s how things are.
But in the Unwound Future, the pair end up running into an aged Luke who resides in a steampunk version of London. He sends the past Luke and Layton a letter telling them of the terrible events that occur in his timeline.
This game is the first in the series to bring up the concept of time travel, and boy does it bring some interesting interactions into the narrative.
For the first time ever, we get to see adult Luke interacting with young Luke and the results are hilarious, and we also get to see more of Professor Layton’s past by way of flashbacks, giving us a deeper look at who he is.
Time is the central theme here in Unwound Future and the game does a fantastic job at making it so by introducing us to new characters and letting us peek into the future and the past of the main protagonists.
Professor Layton and the Unwound Future will be remembered as one of the wackiest entries in the series and after reading our description, I hope you can see why.
