It was co-developed by Konami and Winkysoft, and designed by Zone of the Enders director Noriaki Okamura.

Gameplay

Doctor Lautrec and the Forgotten Knights is played on the Nintendo 3DS. It combines the use of walking around, looking around for clues and the like. The game also has many puzzles for the player to solve.

Plot

Doctor Lautrec and the Forgotten Knights takes place in Paris at the end of the 19th century. The protagonist of the game, the eccentric and mystery-solving archaeologist Doctor Jean-Pierre Lautrec, is a lecturer at the city's Museum of Natural History. Together with his assistant Sophie Coubertin, a university student, he comes into possession of a map that leads to a hidden treasure of Louis XIV of France. On their quest through Paris and the catacombs beneath it, Doctor Lautrec and Sophie are pursued by a crime syndicate and the Knights of the Iron Mask, an order of knights with iron masks and claws.[3][4][5][6]

Development

Doctor Lautrec and the Forgotten Knights was designed, written, directed and produced by Zone of the Enders director Noriaki Okamura.[1] It was co-developed by Konami and Winkysoft,[1] and marked Okamura's first experience with the stereoscopic three-dimensional graphics of the Nintendo 3DS handheld console.[7] The game shares many aesthetic and gameplay similarities to Level-5's Professor Layton series of adventure games, and Okamura said he is inspired by that series.[7]
