Nelson Tethers: Puzzle Agent: Difference between revisions

* [[Deconstructive Parody]]: This game is basically ''[[Professor Layton]]'', but with the main character noticing the stupid amount of puzzles in-game and a much more serious reason why: {{spoiler|most of the town is in some sort of cult that worship gnomes. The gnomes' main method of communication is puzzles. This has caused the entire town to become pathologically addicted to puzzles.}}

* [[Defective Detective]]: Although Nelson is shown to be a good detective, you can see that he'd rather be back in his basement office. This may be because he hasn't had a field mission in -- as he states -- "quite some time" (which mean he probably hasn't been on the field for a couple of YEARS) -- and that his specialty is puzzle solving. Not to mention all the creepy stuff going on in Scoggins.

* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: There is a sign reading "Brorskap av skogen", apparently intended to be Norwegian for "Brotherhood of the forest". The correct phrase would be "Skogens brorskap".

* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Nelson likes chewing gum. [[Functional Addict|It helps him think]]. And when he learns that there's no way he'll be able to buy any in Scoggins, he almost has a panic attack until he starts collecting [[Squick|used pieces of gum]] that have been left on the walls, floors, and furnishings of Scoggins.

** {{spoiler|That actually becomes [[Chekhov's Gun|VERY VERY important in the second game.]] He sent all of his tapes to Jim in the Vegetable Division -- whom Nelson asked to file them while away -- and Jim notes that the tape kept playing around the time he saw a Hidden Person communicate with Bo.}}

* [[Lampshade Hanging]]:

* [[Lock and Key Puzzle]]: Unique variation. Most of the first game is spent acquiring three gears that you need to open the factory's puzzle lock. They break apart to form one large jigsaw-puzzle gear that you must snap into place.

* [[Lunacy]]: Involved in the second game's plot.
