PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:
when you are approaching the final area of the game, DO NOT LOOK AT THE MYSTERIES MENU
one of the mysteries (when marked as solved) has a spoiler for the end of the game in it's description
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED DO NOT VIEW SOLVED MYSTERIES UNTIL AFTER YOU BEAT THE GAME
i actually played the layton x ace attorney spin off game way before this and i realized how fun the layton puzzles were
and so for a while i was talking about how fun it was to the point my friends thought i was like a layton super fan
but actually i was super FAKE
it took me like 5 years after the fact to actually play this
anyways this is a puzzle games
it has puzzles in it
thankfully it's actually a variety of different puzzles of varying difficulty
some were really fun! some were not
also apparently the game is directly tied to the sequel which is cool (as in theres a secret code in the sequel that you enter into the first game)
and theres FMVs which to me are just funny in principle
i actually predicted the main mystery well before it was revealed (though i didnt predict the final mystery until i got spoiled for it by the game ITSELF, see the PSA)
i did almost all the puzzles EXCEPT FOR the weekly puzzles (because u have to like do action replay codes to unlock them now and thats annoying) and the last two bonus puzzles (because they're BULLSHIT)
i don't know what compelled them to use an accordion in literally every song in the game but power to the composers ig
i can see why this game got mobile ports, its very much a "i'm not doing anything rn but im in the line at the DMV, guess i'll play this game" sort of game
actually made the game very playable since i could just play it wherever and not have to worry about being in the middle of a level or a battle or a cutscene or something (u can rewatch the FMVs)
pretty short too only like 12-13 hours
probably would play again in like 4 years when i forget everything about this game
