So yes. I’ve been to Thimbleweed Park. If you’ve ever played some gems-a-boo of Ron Gilbert, Garry Winnick and David Fox, this is definitively one game-a-rino for you. This game lets you feel the kinship to Maniac Mansion. A lot of references, gimmicks and puns related to Maniac Mansion and other great Mmucas Flem Games. xD
Dave and Sandy are living in Thimbleweed Park owning a Diner. Bernard’s Cousin works at a Quickie-Pal. So lots and lots of fun with this one.
If I had seen this on kickstarter, I would’ve supported it. So here you’ve got the Mulder and Scully (X-Files) Look-Alikes Agent Ray and Reyes solving the case of a murder that happened in Thimbleweed Park. A foreigner called Boris (probably german) dies in the beginning. And as a fun fact, german author Boris Schneider-Johne (the Translator of many Lucasfilm Games like Monkey Island) translated Thimbleweed Park as his last project. You’re meeting a lot of strange and funny characters that keeps the game lively as it could be.
You can choose an easy or a hard approach to the game, without changing this decision in the game. As somewhat experienced Point’n’Click Adventurer you may have up to 14-15 hours fun with this gem.
