The London we know and love has been thrown into absolute chaos. The Prime Minister has disappeared after agreeing to take part in a time machine experiment and Professor Layton’s side-kick Luke has received a letter seemingly from his future self urging the pair to head to an old clock shop tucked away among the back alleys of the city.
A number of scientists have also vanished without trace and Professor Layton and Luke find themselves wrapped up in a bizarre, time-shifting mystery where things aren’t quite what they seem. Bizarrely, the puzzle solving duo now find themselves ten years in the future where London and its inhabitants have changed dramatically in the blink of an eye.
Professor Layton And The Lost Future offers the strongest story in the series thus far, compelling from the out-set and shrouded in mystery with plenty of unexpected twists and turns along the way. Throughout the adventure there are many interesting characters to meet and converse with, plus dozens of well produced, animated cut-scenes that build on the storyline impressively.
