Telltale asks, 'What is the Mystery of Scoggins?' photo

The third season of Sam & Max isn't the only thing up Telltale Games' sleeves, apparently. The adventure game developer's official website has a new link to an odd flash-animated page that we'll assume for now is a game teaser. The page asks "What is the Mystery of Scoggins," and promises that we'll "Learn More May 4th."

The hand-drawn art on the flash site can be interacted with. If you place the cursor on the factory window, for example, a bearded gnome pops up from the smoke stack. This gnome appears to be no different than the one featured on the main page, daring us to enter and thus intrigued. Also, take notice of the little guy walking around below with a heavy coat and snowcap perfect for the winter-themed setting of the picture. Something tells us this dude is a protagonist. He just sorta gives off that vibe, right?

That header makes me think that it's probably Strange Brew: The Game

The first time the trench coat guy waved at me I thought he flipped me off.

I guess the guy gives you some weapons to kill all of the gnomes?

@tabacco That video is on the main page of the site ... or is that where you got it from?

I also remember seeing a billboard for Scoggins Erasers in The Penal Zone

Need to look into this. Like the drawing style, so I'm hoping for good gameplay to go with it.

@cat I know, but Destructoid didn't mention it. Graham (the creator of that short and many others at youtube.com/grickle) was the creative director at Telltale once upon a time.
