    I remember watching my older brother playing this game years ago. I tried to play it too, but I was very young and so didn't really understand the puzzles. So I watched him instead, and we were so excited when we got to the end. Our excitement changed to sadness though. A happy sadness almost. It was years ago, now. If only we got on as well now as we did then.

      Well thank you for the kind words! This post really warms the cockles. It's unfortunate your microphone is broke on the DS, I've noticed that tends to be one of the parts that goes out a lot,, possibly because of a cost saving design.
      you could try rubbing a piece of wire inside the microphone connector to produce enough static noise to simulate blowing into the microphone, that can be a possible solution.
      Glad you enjoyed the ending!

    It bugs me how Sophia didn't tell Anton anything about his daughter in the letter. She admits that she left to protect their baby, but she doesn't even bother to tell Anton what she named said baby. She refers to their child only as "Katia's Mother" and says she died shortly after Katia was born... That means that Katia can't even tell Anton about his daughter because she doesn't remember much about her.
    That just seriously bugs me.

      I know. It bugs me too how she never tells anything about her first daughter, the REASON SHE LEFT IN THE FIRST PLACE, even though she was holed up in her room with plenty of time to write about it.
      I like to think it’s because she knew that Katia was going to try and get to Folsense around the same time the box left her possession, so it’s better to talk about her instead. Anything about their deceased first daughter can be said in the afterlife when Anton inevitably follows very VERY soon.

    I really feel it’s a shame that we never really get to see Sophia in the game apart from the short scene at the end of the game when she’s in heaven and the bit in the past when Sophia and Anton were talking about her leaving and that Anton thought that she had left him for another and it’s sad that she had passed away by time Anton had received the letter from her in the box and that he never got to see the love of his life again and that we don’t get to see Katia’s mother either and it’s a real shame that she died shortly after Katia was born but I like how there was the loving relationship with Sophia and her granddaughter and that Anton loves Katia too and it feels similar to a mother and daughter relationship with Sophia and Katia which is really adorable too to hear about from Sophia’s letter too and the fondness and love she had for Katia too though it’s sad that since Folsense became stuck and that time had really just stood still from 50 years ago at the time of Layton and Luke’s time at the time when the story in the game takes place and it seems that from 50 years ago Sophia had been searching for the box herself ever since then but I feel sorry very much for Anton because he had given the box to a traveller passing through town to deliver the box to Sophia many years ago and it must have been always a hope with Anton that Sophia would eventually find the box again and it would eventually be delivered to her from Anton but that by time Sophia received the box and the letter inside from him she was dying then and that she wrote it a short while before she passed away but by then when Anton received the letter she had passed.

    @benjaminclasper9355 Рік тому +1

    It would be interesting to hear how Anton and Sophia first met and I’m assuming I’m guessing that they both first met in Folsense or at Herzen Castle perhaps if Anton held a ballroom dance there or if Duke Herzen held a ballroom dance there and it’s not mentioned in the game whether Duke Herzen was married or not and his family history before then isn’t mentioned and talked about only that he was the father of his two sons Anton and Mr Beluga and I’m guessing that Anton and Sophia’s first meeting with each other could have been similar to the ballroom dance or maybe it was the same ballroom dance scene with Layton and Luke had when they were sleeping in the Castle and that could have been Anton and Sophia first meeting but then Layton and Luke somehow end up in that picture and in that memory from 50 years ago I think too.

    And it’s like at the beginning of the ending she’s just creepily standing at the top like she’s waiting for Layton and Luke and she’s just like we have to get out the castle and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

And Mr.Beluga had been there several times and he was fine and his brother lived there above the source of the gas for 50 years and he was still alive but just a brief exposure to traces of the gas almost killed Dr.Shrader.
