Level-5 turned the riddles of Professor Akira Tago — a Japanese psychologist famous for his mental-gymnastics books, which sold millions of copies — into an adventure styled after European animated cinema.

Works, and its careful dubbing raised the bar for handheld production values. It launched a saga built on gentlemen and enigmas.
