Notes

Name Flip: In Japanese, a person's name is generally written with their family name first, followed by their given name (e.g., Doe John). This has been flipped in the patch, and the player's name should be input in English name order (e.g., John Doe).

If you have previously created a save using a Japanese name, it will still be compatible, however the order will be flipped.

L Communicator Demo: In the "Extras" menu, it is possible to send a trial version of the L Communicator to another DS via Wireless Communication. This has been fully translated, but due to the DS' security protection, can only be played on compatible emulators or a flashed DS.

About the game

L - the ProLogue to Death Note: Spiraling Trap is the last of three Nintendo DS games based on the Death Note license.

An escape game, it sees players take on the role of a rookie FBI agent who awakens to find themselves imprisoned in an unknown location. With the world’s greatest detective, L, only able to provide assistance via a PDA, it’s up to the player to solve the many traps in their way and uncover the truth behind the mysterious plot.

Known Issues

These issues are inherited from the original game:

• The step objective images for three late-stage small traps are incorrect.
• During the end credits, the text may appear to flicker (on hardware), and/or black bars may temporarily appear (on emulator).
