This all sounds a little familiar. A mix of adventure and puzzling? A hat-wearing protagonist with a penchant for solving brainteasers? If Henry has a young sidekick with a Dick Van Dyke accent, then we’ll be very suspicious.

In reality, Henry Hatsworth In The Puzzling Adventure (to give it its full title) seems quite different from the still-not-available-in-Europe Professor Layton. Evidently there will be opponents to fight, “outrageous world-ending bosses”, and each screen will represent a different world, with a platforming universe on one and the puzzle realm on the other. These two will affect each other depending on your actions in each, which doesn’t sound remotely like Professor Layton, actually.

It’s being released on EA’s Casual label early next year.
