The fourth instalment of the Professor Layton puzzle adventure is a prequel to the original games. Three years before the events in Professor Layton and the Curious Village, Professor Layton receives a letter from his old schoolmate Clark, telling him that "a mysterious giant is destroying the town". The professor heads to the town of Misthallery to investigate, and is joined by Emmy, his new assistant.
