Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Professor Layton and Luke receive a letter from Dr. Andrew Schrader, who has obtained the Elysian Box and intends to open it. Concerned, Layton decides to visit him.
  2. 2
    Layton needs to find his keys. Tap on items to search; the keys are in the middle desk drawer.

    A tutorial on movement appears. Tap the shoe icon and then an arrow to move. Move right twice.
  4. 4

    Enter the apartment. The door is locked.
