Konami dreams up Professor Layton clone.
The phenomenally successful DS puzzle series Professor Layton has already inspired so many not least Ant and Dec. But Konami takes the biscuit the Japanese company has taken the lid-off what looks like a clone.
Swap the top hat-wearing Professor Layton for Doctor Jean-Pierre Lautrec, and the loyal Luke Triton for young assistant Miss Sophie Coubertin, and boom: welcome to Doctor Lautrec and the Forgotten Knights for the 3DS.
It’s described as a “treasure game”, according to Siliconera, set in 19th century Paris. Yes, 19th century Paris.
