Cases[]

Welcome to the Mystery Room (Chapter 1)[]

Adapts File No. 000: Freshly Baker

Differences between the game and the manga[]

  • In the manga, Lucy is shown to have worked for a different team at the Yard before being transferred to the Mystery Room by the Commissioner through Deputy Commissioner Chan.
    • The Commissioner and DC Chan's conversation about if Alfendi Layton is dangerous is moved to File 001.
  • In the game, the prologue takes place on a sunny day, being a different day from Alfendi's musings. In the manga it takes place on the same, rainy day.
    • Lucy's comment about the weather being a good omen is moved to the end of File 001.
  • Instead of Lucy pointing Alfendi as a culprit, the manga has her falling over some boxes and files.

The Woman Caught in the Sandwich (Chapters 2-8)[]

Adapts File No. 001: The Hand Sandwich

Differences between the game and the manga[]

  • In the manga, Alfendi gains his nickname "Prof" when Lucy addresses him as "Evil Prof" for threatening with sacking her if she doesn't solve the case.
  • The interrogation of Bosco Felps is completely ommited in the manga, instead they know his name from the beginning.
  • When you select him as the culprit in the game, Alfendi doesn't correct Lucy saying it's Carrière like he does in the manga. He also doesn't need Lucy's comments to get to the 97.6% of certainty.
  • In the manga, the conversation where DC Chan is wary of Alfendi and doubtful of Lucy takes place here. The comissioner says he trusts them both (unlike in the game, "For all his faults, I still believe in Alfendi Layton") and mentions that the Prof is the son of someone important.
    • The first mention of Alfendi's father (when nicknamed "Prof") is not present in the Japanese version of the game, so the manga is earlier in this respect.
  • The conversation about Alfendi's brother is ommited in the manga.

A Cat Burglar, a Wicked Woman and a Missing Weapon (Chapters 9-18)[]

Adapts File No. 002: The Bungled Burglary
