This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article? Notes: Someone with a greater knowledge of ripping and searching through Unity assets should scour this game, because it's a bit harder to get stuff from it compared to the DS and 3DS Layton games. -BirdGuts

Oh dear, I do believe I have the vapors. This page contains content that is not safe for work or other locations with the potential for personal embarrassment. Such as: A woman shot through the heart. But who's to blame?

Despite what the title suggests, no, this isn't a game about the titular Professor's brother. It's actually about a newbie constable named Lucy Baker teaming up with his split-personality son Alfendi Layton to solve various murders.

It originally was planned to be part of Level-5's Atamania series with completely different characters, but was switched to a Layton game instead for some unknown reason.

To do: Double-check the 2D and 3D graphics/models to make sure there's nothing else lying around. Look through the text. Anything different between the iOS and Android versions? Why exactly are there unused assets of File 003 with the number "201" attached? Is it from a test of some kind?

Unused Graphics

criminal201 is a photo of the silhouette used when a new, unknown suspect is added during a case. Likely a placeholder. The text reads "Detective screen Criminal Photo".

ef_dcut01_201 is Roscoe Strapping, but with...yellow hair?

talker04 is a police officer who never appeared in the final game, but he appears in some early trailers of the game along with other unused characters.

Among the sprites of Diane Makepeace, in the file talker21b, there is a sprite of Mariana Etista with her mouth open. She never speaks in-game and only appears smiling, so this sprite is never used.

to_be_continued_text_GBR is a graphic that is present in both the English and Japanese versions, however, it's never used as the game only says "The end" when you finish it. It seems that at some point they considered making more than one Layton Brothers game.

film_201a and film_201b are early versions of the Case Summary photos in File No. 003.

Early	Final

Oddities

The internal graphics for each case title are out of order. Each one has a number in its filename that differs from the actual file's number, and are organized in a way that makes the titles come before and/or after the incorrect ones. In order, it goes:
title_001_GBR - The Bungled Burglary (File No. 002)
title_002_GBR - The Hand Sandwich (File No. 001)
title_003_GBR - The DJ's Swansong (File No. 005)
title_009_GBR - The Walking Corpse (File No. 004)
title_010_GBR - A Murder Staged (File No. 003)
title_020_GBR - The Mystery Rooms (File No. 007)
title_021_GBR - Ham and Cheese (File No. 008)
title_023_GBR - Kiss Goodbye (File No. 006)
title_024_GBR - Good Cop, Bad Cop (File No. 009)

The only one in the correct place is File No. 009, since it's the final case of the game. The two most likely cases are that the files were originally going to happen in a different order, or it's just a simple naming mistake.

Regional Differences

To do: There's definitely multiple differences between the Japanese and English versions outside of the character names.

Graphics

When Gloria Blaise screams in the dark, the message in English starts with "He...", and in Japanese with "H...".

English Version	Japanese Version

For some strange reason, the hotel where Sandy Aldwich stays in the first case is completely different in the English version.

English Version	Japanese Version

The fax that Dwight Dread receives says "I'll be the Death of You" in English, but the original Japanese version reads "Killing You!".

English Version	Japanese Version

Alfendi's evaluation

To do: This maybe needs more investigation

In the Japanese version, when you solve a case, Alfendi appears to give you feedback based on your mistakes and successes. This was disabled in the English version for some unknown reason, but among the files are still all the graphics and texts that belong to this section (most of them are in Japanese).

Character Names

To do: Finish this up.

...But does it make sense? The translations on this page need to be proofread. If you are fluent enough in this language, please make any corrections necessary!
