Delores: A Thimbleweed Park Mini-Adventure

It was a lot of fun. Being a fan of the original game, and owning its source code, I just couldn't pass on getting the binaries. Moreover, there was a 30-day refund guarantee, so it was a no brainer.

Im hopeful Thimbleweed 2 is in the works. Thanks for the freebie....don't forget to watch all the credits.

Continuing with the quirky charm of Thimbleweed Park, this game is probably a best demo for the full version of the game. Granted, the interface is way different from the main game, but the game play loop of point and click adventure is satisfying. Only drawback for me is that the game quits when you are done with the main quest , but given its free and only 68MB file size, I can overlook this slight inconvienience. Havent finished the game, but its a good one hour to complete based on other's average playtimes.

As a set of six mini-games of puzzles varying from extremely easy to can you solve it without a walkthrough difficulty. There's so much information tossed around which is completely irrelevant and is never resolved in the story line. Some puzzles thankfully only have to be solved once such as figuring out how to explore the bathroom. Others become a repetitive grind such as getting inside the bank. Apparently there's a bit of backstory from the original game about the bear pillows, a clown, a rather reclusive proprietor of a violin a& clock shop, several odd machines which are never used, and a supposed mystery about a dead guy that never amounts to anything. Yet one puzzle involving a destroyed home had no real rhyme or reason to it. As reminiscent as the player interface and graphics are of 30+ year old Sierra Online games, it baffles me as to why a 64-bit Windows 10 system is required to run it. That wasn't a barrier in my case, but I understand others' frustrations. So it's a way to pass the time for an hour or so but felt like there needed to be so much more to it. I understand the challenges the developers faced, and kudos for making an effort. The price was right anyway..

Great game. Shows great graphics from the original game, colourfull characters and world. A bit repetitive and lack of voice acting, but hey -> it's free! Got me hyped up for the original Thimbleweed Park, so it's kinda like demo version of older games
