[3] In the game, Layton meets an older version of his apprentice, Luke, who brings him to a terrible future he wishes him to help fix.

Another requires training a parrot to carry items to a character using a series of ropes to act as perches or rebounding walls.

Inside, the old couple who own the shop show the two another time machine in the guise of a giant clock, and the pair find themselves in a drastically-changed quasi-steam punk London[7] ten years from their present, where they meet the Future Luke.

Travelling through Chinatown and up a giant pagoda, the group encounter Future Layton, where he is revealed to be Dr. Stahngun, whose true identity is Dimitri Allen.

This led to Dimitri's dedication to build a working time machine and return to the past so he can save Claire's life.

Together they infiltrate Dimitri's base of operations to free the other scientists, where Layton encounters Claire's near-identical sister, Celeste, who assists them in escaping.

As everyone gathers at the Thames Arms restaurant, where Dimitri is also waiting for them disguised as the bartender, Layton manages to deduce that they are not actually in the future, but in a pseudo-replica of London built in a cavern.

Dimitri built this replica London when he realized that he alone could not construct a working time machine and needed scientists that were just as motivated as him.

This led to Dimitri's dedication to build a working time machine and return to the past so he can save Claire's life.

Kidnapping Flora, Clive escapes to his mobile fortress, the machine the scientists had really been working on without Dimitri's knowledge, which he brings to the surface to attack London.

With thanks to Celeste's old watch, they manage to reroute the bomb's wires, free Bill and reverse the power flow of the fortress, causing it to collapse.

After flying Don Paolo's modified Laytonmobile to get everyone to the ground, where Chelmey manages to evacuate the underground citizens, Layton returns to help Celeste rescue Clive from the fortress before it falls down into the fake future London and explodes.

As everyone safely regroups, Clive is put under arrest but promises to atone for his crimes, thanking Layton for comforting him as he did the day his parents were killed.

However, her presence had become unstable and would soon send her back in time to the moment of her death, leading Dimitri to try to find a way to save her but to no avail.

Accepting her fate, Claire has a tearful final reunion with Layton before bidding farewell and disappearing back to her time, to the moment of her death.

Some time later, Layton receives a letter from Luke, inviting him to investigate another puzzling situation with him, in Steam Bison, America.
