Is it still worth playing?
A launch title for the Nintendo 3DS in Japan in February 2011 and worldwide in October 2012, this puzzle adventure has you explore areas and talk to characters across chapters to solve mysteries. Puzzles turn up along the way. Solving a puzzle earns Picarats, with more for no mistakes, which unlock bonus content. Hint coins found in the world can be spent to unlock hints for a stuck player. Characters and environments appear in 3D. The touch screen controls a magnifying glass that moves around the scene on the top screen, and tapping inspects something of interest. It is an easy game to pick up for anyone who likes puzzles with hints on hand, and that holds today.
