Professor Layton and the Unwound Future 2008

Is it still worth playing?

Level-5's 2008 puzzle adventure for the Nintendo DS, in which Professor Layton and his apprentice Luke witness a time machine demonstration that goes wrong, and several scientists go missing. You move between still images of locations and tap characters or the background on the touch screen. The townspeople offer puzzles that advance the story, which unfolds through dialogue and full motion video. Those puzzles are visual, math and logic types with no time limit. Hints cost hint coins found by searching the background, one coin each for up to three and two for a super hint, and some spots hide extra puzzles that need several taps. Correct answers earn Picarats, and wrong guesses lower the Picarats on offer next time. With no time limit and hints paid for with coins you find, each puzzle can still be taken at your own pace today.
