Despite its new visual style, the series' iconic animated cutscenes remain intact. Professor Layton and Luke head to the town of miracles, Montdol in search of the Mask of Miracle. The mask has the ability to grant wishes to its wearer. Layton and Luke arrive at the town to see they are too late, as a mysterious man is using the power of the mask to turn people to stone.
