a rumour abounds about a mysterious box that is said to kill anyone who opens it. when Layton's colleague Andrew Schrader falls victim to the so-called 'Pandora's Box', Layton and Luke travel to its town of origin, Folsense, to uncover the truth behind its existence.

Folsense is one of the coolest areas in the entire series. the vibes ? IMMACULATE. fanastic antagonist, bittersweet ending. also includes a very sexy swordfight.

Professor Layton and Pandora's Box strikes a wonderful balance between the strong atmosphere and quirky vibes of the original game, whilst solidifying what would go on the become the foundations of the series in later games. it also has some of the coolest puzzles in the series conceptually -- the game came with a paper train ticket that has to be physically manipulated in order to solve one of the in-game puzzles. plus, one of -- if not the -- final puzzles has you solving the puzzle of the titular Pandora's Box in order to open it and uncover the truth behind it.
