I got this game from the initial kickstarter quite a while back (2017 I guess?) and enjoyed it, but I recently thought I'd show it to my 5 y.o daughter and she has fallen in love with it. She had previously tried games like "Maniac Mansion" and "Sam 'n' Max Hit the Road" and found them very enjoyable. So when thinking of what to let her try next, "Thimbleweed Park" came back to my mind. We started by playing the 'Easy Mode', and she really immersed herself in it, and it was hard to pull her away, she was enjoying all the story-telling and puzzle-solving. ...and then we finished the game... and she got teary-eyed and emotional, telling me she didn't want the game to end, and she missed all the characters! We re-visited the game this week, playing the 'Hard Mode' this time. As we were about to finish the game today, she restrained herself from pushing in the last tube, telling me (teary-eyed once more), "I don't want the game to end" again :) With a bit of coaxing, I finally convinced her to push in that tube and end the game and she got very emotional once more :) I asked her which mode she liked more? She said the "Hard Mode", as she liked that the story was longer and had more puzzles to solve (but she still didn't like that the story ended :D). I asked her what her favourite character was. I assumed she would say Delores, but she surprised me and she said she liked Ransome the most :) She even wrote her own apology letter (on behalf of Ransome) saying "I am sorry for being a bad clown" :) Anyways, just writing this review to say thanks to the creators, you created a warm, lovable set of characters that my daughter connected with very closely, thank you :)
