About the Layton’s Mystery Journey Deluxe Edition

Professor Hershel Layton has gone missing and it’s up to his daughter Katrielle – a smart and spirited young lady with a knack of uncovering the truth in spite of paltry evidence – to take centre-stage in LAYTON’S MYSTERY JOURNEY: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy – Deluxe Edition for Nintendo Switch!

She’s aided in her endeavours by a colourful cast of characters, including a young student named Ernest Greeves who acts as her assistant and Sherl, a talking dog who begins as Katrielle’s first client but quickly becomes her sidekick.

This marks the first time that a game from the famous mystery series is playable on TV screens, providing the perfect opportunity for would-be sleuths to share the joy of puzzle-solving with friends and family. The controls are as simple and intuitive as ever, with the game playable using either button or motion controls. The Nintendo Switch version also has a host of new content and updated gameplay features, so there’s plenty for longtime fans of the series and newcomers alike to wrap their brains around!

• New Outfits: More than 50 new outfits have been added, all of which can be obtained by playing the game.
