Puzzle Agent 2

Similar to the first installment, the gameplay structure of the game resembles that of a linear adventure game. Players do not have an inventory, but they can engage in dialogues with other characters. Certain items or dialogue choices may lead to puzzles that need to be solved, although some puzzles may not have any consequence on the game's progress. The puzzles encompass various types, including jigsaw, math, and logic puzzles. Each puzzle is accompanied by a brief description of the objective, while some also include a set of rules and conditions to assist players in deducing the solution.

For each puzzle, players can request up to three hints, with each hint costing them a piece of chewing gum. Chewing gum is scarce in the town, as explained by the hotel clerk, but the protagonist, Nelson, can collect discarded pieces of gum found at each location. The puzzles do not automatically validate the player's solution, even if it is correct. Nelson must transmit the answer back to headquarters, where it will be either approved or rejected.

In the game sequel, Tethers, a FBI agent, cannot let go of the unsolved Scoggins case and suspects a cover-up by the FBI. He decides to conduct an unofficial investigation and returns to Scoggins, leaving his colleague Jim Ingraham in charge of his files. Tethers stays at Valda's Inn and has a dream in which an astronaut visits him, leaving a note on the floor. When he wakes up, he finds the note, stating that "Isaac Davner does not exist" on one side and a list of names on the other side. Tethers discovers that the names belong to people who have mysteriously disappeared in Sasimy Woods over the years.

Tethers meets a local resident named Darryl Boutin, who reveals that his brother is one of the missing people. Tethers learns about Scoggins' folklore, particularly the Hidden People, from anthropologist Alfred Versteckt and his student Will Medlock. Tethers seeks access to the missing persons files from Sheriff Bahg but is denied. However, Glori Davner, who previously tried to kill Tethers, offers to distract Bahg in exchange for Tethers finding her husband, Isaac. Glori believes the Brotherhood of Scoggins is responsible for the disappearances and reveals that they had Isaac locked away in the eraser factory, believing he was "chosen."
