A night to remember.

<span class="bold">Thimbleweed Park</span>, a delightfully surreal point & click adventure by the creators of Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion, is now available, DRM-free on GOG.com!

This murder, it really ties the town together, man. A town already haunted by dark secrets and built on sins. Now five eccentric individuals will start poking around, each for their own reasons. Little do they know that they've become the unwitting catalysts for a fateful night full of bizarre events, brain-twisting puzzles, and weaponised sarcasm.

For some additional insight, check out <span class="bold">our interview with Ron Gilbert</span>, the mind behind Thimbleweed Park and a few other classics you may have heard of.

Seemannsdaemlack: I have regular speed with Galaxy. Will download the offline installer later.
Anyone else with the problem? If Galaxy is the reason direct downloads are delayed in this absurd fashion, I am going to kill someone.

Shoot. I downloaded the Linux version without paying attention, before the Windows version went up. Took about 10 minutes. Now that I'm going back for the Windows, it's up to an hour.

Hello

I know 1.16$ isn't much, but wasn't the game supposed to cost 19.99$ instead of 19.99€?
There's blog post about this: blog.thimbleweedpark.com/soon_is_soon ...

You'll get the difference refunded as store credit (just check the store page :) ).

Thank you, Ron Gilbert & Team :)

So happy about this, I enjoyed the developers' blogs through the whole process, big fan of the talent involved in the making of this game (I learned English playing Maniac Mansion and Zak McKracken at my Commodore 64). I hope the game sells well and Ron, Gary and the rest of the team make more games in this style.

I was looking forward to a first day buy, but I'm broke, so it will have to wait for a while... ah, the joys of living in the country with the worst economy in the world. :(
Well, the game is not going anywhere, and I still have other games to keep me entertained for a while. :)

I will wait for the reviews, but this looks promising.
As to download problems, maybe GOG needs to invest in a bigger server.

1. Nope, the post refers to the US price. The game is regionally priced, and the euro price is 19.99€.
2. However, unlike e.g. on Steam, here on GOG you will get store credit equal to the difference between the US price and the price you pay (if it's larger than the US price). It can't be converted back to cash, though.

The retro feeling already starts with the download... They simulate the download speed from the good old times :-)

Hmm, wishlist for now. Have other titles to playthrough.

Sorry ((
