This fourth installment of the Professor Layton puzzle adventure series
begins a new trilogy that is a prequel to the original games. Three
years before the events in the Professor Layton and the Curious Village™
game,Professor Layton receives a letter from his old schoolmate Clark
Triton. It states that “a mysterious giant shrouded in fog has been
laying waste to our houses.” The professor heads to the town of
Misthallery to investigate, and is joined by Emmy, his new assistant.
What is the meaning of all the destruction, and is it related to the
village’s folklore legend of a “specter”? The unfolding story details
how Professor Layton and his apprentice, Luke, met.
