The game-play consists of searching the environment for clues and solving puzzles. The puzzles are smart, but too many are math based. The environment searching is fluid.
The sound and OST is great. The themes add to the mystery and to the feel of the town.
The story is amazing. The story starts out simple with Professor Layton and Luke trying to discover where the Golden Apple is located. The story quickly evolves into finding a murderer, discovering the cause of kidnappings, and finding the secret of the dark, tall tower located in the center of the village. My one problem was that at the end of the game, many of the mysteries were solved right next to each other, lacking the pacing the benefits mysteries.
The hand drawn backgrounds are gorgeous. They give life to the world you are in and are always wonderful even though you may had seen it 50 times. The animations are also very beautiful and are very much a highlight of the game.
Curious Village is a good first game in the series. The story is great, even with its shortcomings. It's game-play and music is solid, even with some frustrating puzzles. Overall, I liked Curious Village, and am looking forward to to playing the rest of the trilogy.
