It's interesting that in a series apparently aimed at least partially at a younger audience (based on art style and level of "adult" content), all of the plots are centered around grief and loss, usually from the perspective of a father.

Mysterious Village: A dying man creates an automatic town to protect and comfort his daughter.
Diabolical Box: Crazy old guy can't come to terms with the fact he sent his daughter away.
Eternal Diva: Father tries to keep his daughter alive through memory transfer.
Unwound Future: Layton, Dimitri, and Paul are all driven by the loss of Claire, and Clive by the loss of his parents, while Luke is facing the prospect of being separated from Layton.

And I'm grieving over the time I lost to the &*@!(# parrot game.

I don't think it's aimed at a young audience as much as it's meant for all ages.

That's why I said "partially." It's still thematically heavier than I think most studios are willing to do for all-ages games.

So is the Professor Layton movie out yet, and is it being brought to America? I've completely lost track on that. :ohdear:

It has been released in Japan. I haven't heard anything about an official release stateside.

This talk of sliding puzzles is giving me horrible flashbacks to the garbage day puzzle from Professor Layton 2

So what you're saying is that this reminds you of a puzzle.
