Professor Layton and the Unwound Future,[a] known in Europe and Australia as Professor Layton and the Lost Future,[1] is the third game in the first trilogy of the Professor Layton puzzle game series by Level-5. It was first released in Japan in November 2008 and was later released in North America in September 2010[2] and in Europe and Australia in October 2010.[3] In the game, Layton meets an older version of his apprentice, Luke, who brings him to a terrible future he wishes him to help fix. The game received critical acclaim by critics, praise for its story, puzzles, characters, soundtrack, and has since been cited as one of the best games of the series.[4] An enhanced mobile port of Unwound Future, subtitled "HD for Mobile", was released on July 13, 2020.[5]
