Yes, in addition to the developer comments, the guide also includes beautiful handcrafted dioramas of the levels in the game. They were created specifically for this guide as viewing the 3D levels in a 2D space will help players visualize what they need to do to complete the level. The guide is entirely in Japanese, but the visual language of the intricately crafted sculptures is universal.
