Nelson Tethers: Puzzle Agent

Nelson Tethers: Puzzle Agent is an adventure puzzle game developed and published by Telltale on Windows and Macintosh on 2010-06-30, and then ported to other platforms.

I got this game from a bundle of some sort, and I liked the cartoon drawings in the screenshots in Steam, so I installed it. I beat it on 2018-08-12 after my second sitting.

Review

Good

• The game uses a variety of puzzle types throughout the game.
• The cartoon style is fun to look at.
• The voice acting, sound effects, and ambient music is good.
• The gnomes are quite creepy.

Bad

• The game has a few pretty obvious graphic glitches and I can't understand why they weren't fixed.
• The game reuses some of its puzzles too much. I get not wanting to have to remake a new engine for each puzzle, but that's kind of the point of the game.

Ugly

• The game way too short, and ends without any closure to the story.
