Welcome to Thimbleweed Park. Population: 80 nutcases.
A haunted hotel, an abandoned circus, a burnt-out pillow factory, a dead body pixelating under the bridge, toilets that run on vacuum tubes... you’ve never visited a place like this before.
Five people with nothing in common have been drawn to this rundown, forgotten town. They don’t know it yet, but they are all deeply connected. And they’re being watched.
...Who is Agent Ray really working for and will she get what they want?
...What does Junior Agent Reyes know about a 20 year old factory fire that he’s not saying?
...Will the ghost, Franklin, get to speak to his daughter again?
...Will Ransome the *Beeping* Clown ever become a decent human being?
...Will aspiring game developer Delores abandon her dreams and stick by her family?
...And most importantly: how come no one cares about that dead body?
By the end of a long, strange night in Thimbleweed Park, all of this will be answered -- and you’ll question everything you thought you knew.
In a town like Thimbleweed Park, a dead body is the least of your problems.

One of the better adventure games out there , with mostly good, logical puzzles. The game is played through the eyes of different characters but the individual story didn't coalesce together very much, making the plot good but not great. The biggest appeal is the abiltiy to tap into the old school, tongue in cheek, adventure game nostalgia. Overall, still very much recommended with one or two hiccups.
The moment I saw Gilbert's and Winnick's names I knew what to expect from the game. I love adventures. Love oldschool style, pixel art and throwbacks to the good old past. I admit I hesitated a bit - but in the end, I bought it and chewed the game in two days.
Graphics are something between Maniac Mansion and MI series - and trust me, it is not the only subtle easter egg to our oldschool favorites. Characters are memorable, very different and recognizable. What not to love? And of course, Ransom the *beeping* clown. Those *beeps* gave me a fair chunk of laughs!
Go for this game if you love point-and-click adventures. Go for it if you love Maniac Mansion, Day of The Tentacle, Monkey Island series and/or Full Throttle. Go for it if you enjoy absurd humor mixed with overall weirdness. Then go and tell your friends about it and let the developers do what they love, which means making more great titles we all enjoy.
Thanks for yet another great adventure, good sirs. We love you.
The beginning has a great hook of a murder mystery. The climate is drawing you in, the atmosphere is thick with conspiracy; you just know that there is something much deeper going on here, even the characters aren't telling you everything!
You meet more characters, you start to get the hang of solving puzzles with cooperation, and pick up more threads of the plot. You start to "get" it!
Unfortunately this is the highest point of the ride, the game peaks just halfway through and then goes downhill really fast.
I cared for the characters, the conspiracy and the mystery; got served the the blandest, most pretentious "meta" ending imaginable and left with a bad taste in my mouth.
First of all, the game is for Maniac mansion fans, not LucasArts fans. Still
The graphics are simple retro style, thankfully no one decided to go nuts on the artwork.
The music is nice, but a bit monotonic after some time.
The voice acting is simply cheap.
The story is a semi-interesting mystery noir turning into an occult sci-fi. The ending is typical Ron Gilbert meta-bs. I still wonder if he genuinely thinks, that these are cool, or it's just his way of stating that the "journey is more important than the destination". There are no good endings to adventure games, only bad or worse. You start to feel an emptiness inside you after you finish it, OR you feel the emptiness and a bitter after taste, OR the emptiness, the aftertaste and the "What the *beepin* *beep* was this *beep*". Without a doubt, the guy has a knack for the latter.
The game starts out well, easy logical puzzles, but after the prelude it becomes a 2 hours long walking simulator. That, and the "cute" jokes (they are certainly not funny), can easily deter the faint hearted players. But afterwards the puzzles get more complex and interesting. The clues are plenty, although sometimes some things are like 2 chapters early and by the time you get there, you forget them and of course you cannot revisit, so you either restart or watch a video of the earlier chapter. What's not cool, is the amount of red herrings in the game. What's even worse are the fake red herrings, the stuff that you actually have to do, but only 2 chapters from now, because it's logical, it makes sense, you are convinced that this is something you need to pursue, and it completely takes away your attention from what is needed to progress the game into the next chapter.
Btw, the game is teeming with easter eggs, if you are into that stuff. Finally, after 25 years I understand what the *beep* a *beepin* monkey has to do with a waterfall. I don't know, maybe this is something trivial for native English speakers, it wasn't for me.
You all did SUCH a wonderful job!! I got stumped for the first time last night, just the way I got stumped with all the great old games. The puzzles, graphics, characters, dialogue, and story are great, and I think that Thimbleweed Park is a new masterpiece. Please consider doing another game. All your hard work paid off. I bought the game at like 9:05 a.m. when it went on sale, haha.
