From the developers of Dragon Quest VIII and Rogue Galaxy, "Reiton Kyouju to Fushigi na Machi" is the latest adventure game by "Level 5".

Our story features Professor Leyton (Yo Oizumi), an archaeologist who loves puzzles. One day he receives a message, asking him to search for a millionaire Alan Lineford's hidden fortune. Sensing a tint of mystery, Leyton decides to visit a mysterious town with his young assistant Luke (Maki Horikata). Little did he know about the various mysteries (puzzles) that laid ahead of him.

Supervising the story is Akira Tago, a psychologist and author of the best selling "Atama no Taisou (Exercising the Mind)" series of books which have sold a total of 12 million copies.

One of the puzzles you see here requires you to select the correct handle to use the switch. You can tap on the wooden switch to view it at different angles for a closer look. As with all adventure games, it's in the "point and click" style.

Here's a few more puzzles revealed; divide up the wine into containers, find the giant monster hidden in town, pick a barber to cut your hair (weird I know) and solve the key lock!

Scheduled for a 2007 February 15th.

Looking interesting so far!
