Professor Layton and The New World of Steam is a puzzle adventure from Level-5 and a new entry in the Professor Layton series. The gentleman archaeologist Hershel Layton and his assistant Luke head to Steam Bison, a city in the American frontier, to solve a new mystery.

Exploration and conversations with the town's residents lead to brain-teasers of every kind, from logic problems to spatial puzzles. The series' storybook art style, gentle humor, and twist-filled plot remain at the heart of the adventure.
