What players say
More of the first game really with a rushed story to wrap things up. The original plan was for this game to have 6 total installments but, was ultimately cut short. That being said there is still a lot to love about the second game especially if you enjoyed the first! Very good and challenging puzzles as well as a "somewhat" satisfying conclusion on the happenings around Scoggins. Leaves us on a tough cliffhanger...
1 more review, not recommended
I really enjoyed the first Puzzle Agent game, which I played with my partner, and we wanted to like this one just as much. Unfortunately I can't recommend it, for the following reasons: - There are about 5 different kinds of puzzle in this game, repeated over and over. By the end I found myself going "Not ANOTHER one of these!" - Some of the puzzles rely on you having weirdly specific knowledge in order to solve...

About the game
Agent Nelson Tethers just solved his biggest case yet. So why isn't he satisfied? Venture back to eerie Scoggins, Minnesota to solve the mystery of "the Hidden People" once and for all!
