Agent A: A Puzzle In Disguise

After a long while, Agent Brain: Tricky Puzzles reminded me of the magic that independent game development can deliver.

An interesting escape room type puzzle game focused on a secret agent/spy thriller that clicks all the rights buttons in more ways than one.

No. Agent A isn't the next big adventure classic. The puzzles aren't as imaginative or challenging, the world not as captivating, and the journey not exactly that long or replayable. Classic or not, though, this is undoubtedly a very entertaining ride; a series of puzzles that are quite fun, especially if in search for something that is casual friendly, but also respects your intellect - and is cheap. As the cherry on top, it features a flawless and very pretty, '60s spy film style, with plenty of areas being wallpaper-worthy.

The level design in Agent A: a puzzle in disguise make’s excellent use of stylish 1960’s inspired art, and features over 35 unique environments to explore, jam packed with over 100 inventory-based puzzles to solve and work out.

Regardless, I can highly recommend assisting Agent A in her mission as it's a fun distraction that doesn't overstay its welcome. This review will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Agent!.

Agent A – A Puzzle in Disguise, is a short and sweet escape room game that provides hours of good fun.

Mission Debrief: Agent A: A Puzzle In Disguise is great fun, with a solid story line and plenty of entertaining moments, and some good surprises along the way.

Agent A: A Puzzle in Disguise is a charming and lighthearted point and click adventure game that succeeds in making you feel like a secret agent, in part due to its bulk of varied and unique puzzles

Agent A is more Johnny English than James Bond but there's no harm in having a little fun as a spy.

While the original base game has been expanded to five chapters die-hard puzzlers should have no issue completing this game in 5-10 hours. Though somewhat short the game is priced right on Steam for $9.99 USD. Even so, the puzzles are great fodder for your brain. The whole game seems like a mash-up of Myst interlaced with moments from Archer (TV series) with the classic style of the "No One Lives Forever" video games. Sadly this looks like the final chapter for Agent A but if Yak & Co decide to extend the adventures of Ruby La Rouge we'll be the first in line to buy it!
