Professor Layton and the sinister graffiti

We were going to comment on the creepy “sign of the witch” that Professor Layton, Remi and young Luke encounter in this screenshot of Professor Layton and the Devil’s Flute — and how it seems that this Layton game is going in an unusually spooky and dark direction — but then we remembered that both of the Layton games out in North America contain some fairly scary supernatural-seeming content: mysterious murders, monsters, curses, and the like.

We tend to think of the Layton games as so pleasant and so light-hearted, but, really, there’s often something a bit sinister in many of the puzzles Layton must solve. Grab a cup of tea and head to Famitsu for more totally spooky screens.
