## Description

**Layton: Diabolical Box in HD** is the second installment in the Professor Layton series, now digitally remastered in HD for mobile devices.

The game includes more voiced sections and animated cutscenes, and supports English, French, and Spanish. It requires OS 8.0 or higher and runs on devices like iPhone 4S and iPad 2 or newer.
