someone at level-5 keeps trying to make "small-scale layton with individual mysteries" happen and it's not going to happen. half the fun of a layton game is watching the plot get gradually more and more absurd as it goes on before you get to the end and everything is wrapped up in a ridiculous plot twist, and that's entirely missing here. also way too many puzzles are just "haha there's a trick answer =)".

most disappointing game of 2017 for me
