Wat is Thimbleweed Park?
Thimbleweed Park is een nieuwe point-and-click adventure van Ron Gilbert en Gary Winnick, de makers van o.a. Monkey Island en Maniac Mansion.
De game heeft een zelfde look and feel als de klassieke point-and-click adventure games uit de jaren '80 en '90, waarbij wel hier en daar wat moderne grafische effecten zijn toegepast. Ook de UI komt zeer bekend voor met de verbs waarop geklikt kan worden en de inventory daarnaast.
De game heeft in december 2014 z'n Kickstarter doel gehaald (plus enkele stretch goals) en heeft een releasedatum van donderdag 30 maart 2017 op Windows, Xbox One, Mac en Linux. Ook zal er in de toekomst een versie komen voor Android en iOS.
Het verhaal
Thimbleweed Park is the curious story of two washed up detectives called in to investigate a dead body found in the river just outside of town. It's a game where you switch between five playable characters while uncovering the dark, satirical and bizarre world of Thimbleweed Park.
Lost along a dusty stretch of highway, the town of Thimbleweed Park once boasted an opulent hotel, a vibrant business district and the state's largest pillow factory, but now teeters on the edge of oblivion and continues to exist for no real reason. It's a town that makes you itch and your skin crawl. It's a place no one ever looks for, but everyone seems to find.
