Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Sep 1 → 0/day in the week after.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Jul 21 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

For a fairly easy Professor Layton this isn't too bad. Only buy it on sale (spoiler below) ending on that freaking cliffhanger though
Interesting final, waiting for the second vol :)
謎がいっぱい解きたいときにはよさそうでした。 もっと学校に関する謎解きを期待していたのでちょっと物足りなかったですが、何グワーツみたいな学校を歩けるのは楽しかったです。

Rather relaxing, you run around a magic school and solve puzzles. Game is rather short (only 1st year), so I suggest going on all side quests right away and collecting achievements (I didn't and now I regret, coz chances for me to get back to the game after I've finished are slim to none).
What happen if you mix Professor Layton and Harry Potter. I recommend this game for the riddle and the general atmosphere but some translation are really bad and there are a few mistakes in the riddles (notably in the propositions).
I attempted to play the game for just under 30 minutes. The entire thing was awful. Those were not puzzles. You can solve a puzzle. That was total garbage and there is nothing you can do to change my mind.
많은 수수께끼 퍼즐을 풀 수 있다는 사실 하나는 좋았다. 하지만 구글 번역기 수준의 질 떨어지는 번역이 문제를 이해시키지 못하는 경우도 있고, 아예 잘못된 서술까지 있다. 그래서인지 억지로 찍어서 정답을 봐도 이해가 안 되는 문제들이 꽤나 있는 편. 스토리도 지루하며, 후속작을 염두에 둔 것 같지만, 여전히 소식이 없는 것을 보면 그냥 엎어진 듯 싶다. 수수께끼를 많이 풀 수 있다는 점이 좋다고는 했지만, 레이튼 시리즈처럼 문제가 억지스러운 경우도 있고, 후반부로 갈수록 문제의 질과 난이도가 떨어져 흥미를 잃게 된다. 단점이 너무나도 많은 아쉬운 작품.
honestly can't recommend this enough, especially for the price.
Backlog: Game 1 I have decided to write reviews on the games that I have finished from my backlog. Understand that reviews are subjective and experiences may differ from person to person. I may not have liked a game everyone else liked, or disliked a game everyone else disliked. I have not necessarily done everything there was/is to do in the game as I'm only playing games as a hobby. Keep that it mind as you read on. *For this game, it has been a while since I have completed it. It did not leave a lasting impression so I am struggling to recall a lot of the game. Art - 6/10 The art for this game doesn't look too bad. It has its own charm for what the game is about and theme it's going for. I enjoyed the looks of the game. There's not too much for me to say about the art. Sound - 5/10 As with the art, the sound design wasn't too bad, nothing really that stands out in anyway, but fits the theme/style of the game. Music - 5/10 The music seemed pretty basic. There was nothing that made me take a moment and sit back to enjoy it. Story - 4/10 If I recall correctly (I will try to keep this spoiler free) you play as student named Sam. When he gets to school there is a professor that is missing and he and some friends take it upon themselves to find the professor which leads to a few [i] odd [/i] things happening along the way to try to find the professor. Nothing that about the story stood out to me. Then ending wasn't too bad, the post credit scene was kinda interesting. Gameplay - 4/10 At the start the gameplay was nice. There were quite a few puzzles to solve as you progressed along the story, but none of them were all that hard, or interesting. There were a non small portion of the puzzles that seemed to have really odd if not just super specific solutions to them that would be kinda hard to discern the logic behind them. After a few hours, the puzzles started to become quite tedious for the most part. Every little thing had a puzzle to it and sometimes it just kinda ruined the flow of the game. Overall - 4/10 I wish steam had a middle ground and not just yes or no. Because [i] maybe [/i] if this game was on sale for a dollar or two maybe then, but if I had to pick on I can't say I would recommend this game.
Amazing video game! I wish school was like this!
