Agent A: A puzzle in disguise

It's a mix between a point and click and a puzzle game. The story is about a parodic spy shenenigan in the 50's 60's style. The game is not too difficult nor too easy. That's one of the strong point of this game, there is no default, nothing to complain about (appart some backtracking, but nothing tedious). 6-8 hours of fun, spy and casual puzzles. Thank you :)

Excellent game, especially on a touch screen PC! Fun, lighthearted. Some point and clicks will expect you to come of with ridiculous things to "solve" the puzzles, like fish+plus gum+thread = fishing pole then use that on a grate to get a sock... none of that nonsense here! The only thing I had some trouble with was figuring out how to work the valves (you touch them and make a circular motion around the round "handle" like you are turning them). Not super long, so you can actually finish playing it and no silly timers all over the place (I was pretty stressed at the time, so this was a huge deal) - made for a nice, relaxing, casual experience that was highly entertaining! Great experience, brightened my weekend up! I just wish they had a whole series of these (I was broke, so I got it when it went on sale - absolutely worth it!)!

I was thinking for a long time if to give this game 4 or 5 stars. But to be fair I had to give it 4 stars after all. The game is nice and keeps the style, which is something I really like. But the one star down is for not very original story and easy puzzles. Plus those puzzles are kind of standing outside the story and quite often you have to solve a puzzle only for itself, there's no story behind it, no reason why this thing should be hidden in such place and behind a riddle. Don't get me wrong, it might be pro for someone, after all I didn't expect any story at all at the beginning and was pleased to see one. This game is very good and have potential and I can recommend it, but as it behaves as a point and click adventure I'd expect more story maybe and puzzles more integrated in that story.

A point-and-click puzzle with diverse puzzles, most of which make sense, and a delightful, simplistic art style. It's relatively short, humorous, kid-friendly, and doesn't require masterful skills like advanced math, but occasionally demands memory effort. Most of the time there is more than one puzzle to follow up on, the difficulty curve as the game progresses is good. The story is humorously narrated by the ego-perspective player character, Agent A, as they are trapped by the devilish Ruby in her 60ies style house, which hits every spy cliché there is, according for many of the puzzles that may not be physically sound but that we've seen in films. If you've played The Room, the controls are familiar, including motion sickness opportunities when one has to go back several steps, which happens more often later in the game. Most puzzles make sense - no hamsters in microwave ovens - even if some require trust that "this must be what the game means". I encountered no bugs, lags, or other problems on my not-too-recent PC. The only time I was confused was when the screen hid a thing I thought I should be able to manipulate. I'm giving Agent A - A Puzzle in Diguise five stars. If there's a sequel, I will certainly play it.

I picked up Agent A on a whim, mainly for the 60's spy art styling, and was impressed with the game. Basically an escape room-style puzzle game, but with a lot of polish and good puzzles. I especially enjoyed the locales, and the puzzles are just difficult enough, I had to take actual notes! A few of the puzzles aren't as forthcoming as one might think, but overall, it's a 3-5 hour game with acheivements, andit was overall really fun. Here's hoping Yak & Co. do a sequel!
