Professor Layton and the Mysterious Village DS reveals secrets on official website and trailer

Professor Layton and the Mysterious Village is a new puzzle/adventure game that is due to be released for the DS. We heard the gameplay’s puzzles were made by Japanese puzzle-master Professor Akira Tago – author of the “Head Gymnastics” book series. According to Level 5 president”>Akihiro Hino, president of developer Level 5, the idea for Professor Layton and the Mysterious Village was based on his love for Tago’s puzzle books. So prepare to spend hours, not minutes, trying to unlock the secrets wrapped inside the pretty art design.

In fact, Professor Layton and the Mysterious Village is somewhat a cross between a more traditional video game (that is guaranteed to appeal to kids) and Nintendo’s Brain Training series (which was a big hit among older gamers). Perhaps you can start unraveling some of the game’s puzzles by watching the trailer and visiting its official website (link below). We’re pretty sure you’ll find some clues on the mystery that ails the village. If you speak Japanese, that is.

Professor Layton is due in February 2007, although there are currently no plans for distribution outside Japan.
