With the latest season of Sam & Max in full swing, Telltale is looking forward and going heavy experimental in the next adventure series. The previous Telltale games have used established franchises such as Wallace & Gromit and Homestar Runner, but now they're moving into the ultra-obscure with Puzzle Agent. If you want a taste of what this game might be like, check out the video below.
This is the work of Graham Annable, the man behind grickle.com. I've glanced at a few of his shorts on his YouTube channel and his style is pretty dark. And this is precisely what Telltale is looking for under it's new Pilot Program. I guess Telltale is attempting to tap into the indie gaming surge as this can almost be mistaken as an artsy indie game.
So far it's been confirmed for the PC, WiiWare, and iPad. I'll be keeping an eye on this since as you all should know, Telltale has yet to disappoint me. They've been very successful at what they do, but then again this is uncharted territory for Telltale. Apparently the gameplay is going to be less Sam & Max and more Professor Layton... so now I have to use logic instead of random clicking. Right now there's just the one game, but if it ends up being great, hopefully they'll give it the episodic treatment.
