I am very much in favor of the idea.  The concept of enigma is hard to
encompass in screenshots.

I think it is a bit too long.  I don't recall the last time that I sat
through a demo/trailer/teaser video longer than about 2 minutes for a
game that I was not already involved with.  Consider the mostly
complete walkthrough of Advanced Tutorial that is over 2:15 of video,
a lot of that is repetitive and could be edited out.  Do we really
need to see all 6 wooden blocks pushed into the water?  Just #3 and #4
would get the idea across.  Ditto for laying all 5 sticks of dynamite.
 Ditto for for the complete interaction with the sliding blocks (sorry
I don't know the correct name).

I don't think it would be unreasonable to build a level specifically
for the trailer, to show off as many features as possible in a single
un-cut clip.
