The game centers on Katrielle "Kat" Layton, the daughter of famous archaeologist and puzzle-solver Professor Hershel Layton. With the help of her assistant Ernest Greeves, she solves cases in and around London, alongside a talking dog that, for reasons unknown, only the two of them can understand. Unlike prior Layton games, Mystery Journey has no definitive overarching narrative, with most of its main narrative's premises existing as a basis for a set-up, and being left hanging by the game's conclusion, leading into the 50-episode anime adaptation/sequel, Layton Mystery Tanteisha: Katori no Nazotoki File, in lieu of a second game, which aired on Fuji TV from April 8, 2018 to March 31, 2019.[1]
A manga adaptation of the game drawn by Hori Oritoka began serialization on March 20, 2018 in Shōgakukan's Ciao magazine, while an eighth main entry in the franchise, Professor Layton and the New World of Steam, will be released in 2025.
