Evaluation
Puzzle Agent was released on July 7, 2010 by Telltale Games as a self-contained episodic adventure game. The store description presents the game as a complete narrative experience with no mention of ongoing updates, downloadable content, or post-launch content plans. A sequel, Puzzle Agent 2, was released separately in 2011, but the original game shipped as a finished standalone product with no post-launch content cycle. There are no unreleased DLC entries, no developer roadmaps, and no announcements of additional content. The game launched complete and has remained so.

About this game
When White House inquiries to the Scoggins Eraser Co. are answered only with curious puzzles, Nelson Tethers from the U.S. Department of Puzzle Research is sent on the case.
The strange events in Scoggins will challenge every ounce of Tethers’ expertise, and possibly his very wits too, with brainteasers at every turn: mazes, logic puzzles, riddles, and more. He soon realizes that these - along with the clinically pre-occupied townspeople, secret societies, and peculiar sounds from the forest - are intimately connected to the core mystery. And what's with the gnomes?
Created with indie comic artist Graham Annable's unique narrative and visual sensibilities, delivered with the distinctive Telltale storytelling style, Puzzle Agent is sure to challenge, thrill and engage in more ways than you can shake a cryptogram at!
