After 4 long years it appears that developer Yak & Co. is finally releasing the final episode of their excellent point-and-click adventure game Agent A: A Puzzle in Disguise ($6.99). I say it appears that way because, well, true to their form Yak & Co. isn’t coming right out and saying it but instead tasking their fans with solving a puzzle to reveal their big news. They posted the puzzle on their Twitter account late last week, and if you’d like to figure it out for yourself I’ll embed the tweet below before spoiling the solution in the next paragraph.

So? the answer to the puzzle reads guaeninowt, which sounds like gobbledygook until you read it backwards, in which case it reads twonineaug or rather two nine aug. Two nine of August, or the 29th of August. While chapter 5 of Agent A, which is titled “The Final Blow", was originally supposed to release in the second half of last year, Yak & Co. also announced that the game would be making its way to consoles and PC in completed form, hence the additional time for development. The console and PC versions will launch complete with all chapters and the existing iOS and Android versions will receive Chapter 5 as a free update. All this should go down on August 29th.

We really enjoyed Agent A: A Puzzle in Disguise...
