Professor Layton: The Elysian Box

by FearMeIAmGiia

Since this is a puzzle game, and the story is interrupted by puzzles and unnecessary events that make the gameplay better but the storyline lack a little, I've decided to try to tell the story in words, and look into it with more depth. It's a twist on the original myth 'Pandora's Box'. Are the morbid rumors true?

3. A Letter From Dr Schrader

"My dear Hershel,

As an archaeologist, you are sure to have heard of the item known as the Elysian Box. Of course, it is more commonly known as "Pandora's Box", in referance to the famous myth. This nickname appears to be well deserved, since it is rumoured to kill whoever opens it. I'm dubious of this reputation, of course, but when my interest is piqued, I simply must investigate.

That's why I'm pleased as punch to tell you that the elusive item is finally in my possession. What's more, I believe I'm on the cusp of unraveling a great mystery tied to this box. For the moment, let's just say I have a theory, though I haven't been able to prove it yet.

Initially, it was my intention to finish my research before daring to open its lid. But I must confess that my curiosity is simply overpowering. In the unlikely event that anything should happen to me, please finish the work I've started here.

Your friend,

Andrew Schrader"
