Play Professor Layton And The Spectre's Call (E) Online

Professor Layton and the Spectre's Call, known as The Last Specter in North America, came out for the Nintendo DS in 2011. It was developed by Level-5 and published by Nintendo. The game arrived late in the DS lifecycle, when the handheld was already rich with puzzle adventures and story driven titles.

You control Professor Hershel Layton and his young assistant Luke as they explore the mist shrouded town of Misthallery. The main goal is to investigate rumors of a destructive spectre by talking to townsfolk, examining environments, and solving a wide array of logic puzzles. Signature mechanics include tapping the touchscreen to find hint coins and hidden puzzles, navigating the world screen by screen, and occasionally using special items to progress. The pacing is deliberate, with puzzles ranging from quick and intuitive to genuinely head scratching. It feels like slowly untangling a well written mystery, where every solved puzzle brings you closer to the truth.
