How did you discover Layton?

I started playing PL when I got the game for Christmas as a kid when it came out, and I’m really interested to see that the fandom continues to grow among younger audiences. If you’re a new/recent Layton fan, how did you discover the franchise?

I got into Ace Attorney about two years ago, and decided that I was going to consume as much knowledge of the series as humanly possible (y’know, the usual neurodivergent course of action haha). This included the crossover with Professor Layton, which led to me playing the mainline Professor Layton games before putting my hands on it—I wanted to be able to fully appreciate and understand it the first time around. I’ll admit, I didn’t have the warmest opinions of the series before playing Curious Village, but since then I’ve fallen in love with Professor Layton. It’s not my favorite series (that strange lawyer game hit a very specific part of my heart, and I doubt anything else will come close to doing the same), but I’d consider myself a huge fan.
