Layton Brothers: Mystery Room was announced at Level-5 Vision 2009 as Mystery Room, the first entirely original title in Level-5's Atamania series.[2] In Mystery Room, the players would team up with detectives Poccho and Sly to solve crimes.[2] A player could select which crime they would like to investigate from a list of crime reports. The game was originally designed for the Nintendo DS and was planned to be released in 2010.[2] Level-5 had originally scheduled to show the game at the 2010 Tokyo Game Show but removed it from their schedule soon before the conference, throwing the game's fate into question.[1] In May 2010, the developer published an update on the game's progress and announced that the game would be delayed until Spring 2011.[1] Finally on October 15, 2011, the title resurfaced at Level-5 World 2011 as an iOS game titled Layton Brothers: Mystery Room. Though the game has been rebranded as a Professor Layton title, many of its original elements have remained intact, including the focus on solving mysteries.[3]
