Mar 30, 2017 In Thimbleweed Park, a dead body is the least of your problems. Switch between five playable characters to uncover the surreal secrets of this strange town in a modern mystery adventure game from the creators of Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion.

I miss them all, yes, even the cursing clown! The story, dialogue, and characters will make you addicted to this game. You’ll just have to find out what happens next!I highly recommend playing the game on the Casual mode first to just purely enjoy the game’s story, characters, and setting. Then, if you love this game’s story as much as I do, go back and play the game again in the harder mode. There are more puzzles and even more crazy, wonderful things to see and do! Thimbleweed Park’s story is worth the return trip.What about its gameplay though? Did I enjoy playing the game too?I’m a huge fan of Thimbleweed Park’s gameplay, but then, I love adventure games.
The gameplay here is very traditional for these types of games. The player is given a menu with all the basic commands you’d need: Look At, Push, Pull, Give, Use, etc. There is a tutorial at the beginning of the game that tries to explain how to use the commands. If you’re an adventure game newbie, you’ll want to read this stuff.Thimbleweed Park doesn’t hold your hand.
Even in Casual mode, you could very well get stumped by some of the game’s puzzles. That said, even though Thimbleweed Park doesn’t hold your hand, it does offer you help if you know where to look!
Hint: check the phonebook Luke.Thank goodness for that help because I did get stuck a lot. With the game’s help though, I managed to finish the story! And I want to play the game again. Right this second. Excuse me a momentok I’m back.
I have been playing the hard mode for my second playthrough of Thimbleweed Park. This mode definitly lives up to its name, but again, you can find help and you’ll need it!Not everything is perfect about Thimbleweed Park though. The game’s touch screen controls do take a bit of time to get use to.

I’m starting to get the hang of them a bit more in my second playthrough of the game. I do think that playing this game in handheld mode is the best way to play it.With handheld mode, you have the option of using both touch screen controls and the analog stick/buttons. I found myself alternating between the two types of controls a lot and didn’t find that cumbersome.Thimbleweed Park looks great on the Switch’s handheld screen and on the TV too. Thimbleweed Park is a good looking adventure game!Thimbleweed Park is an adventure game and so high-end graphics are not its major concern. However, I do think that Thimbleweed Park is one of the best looking adventures I’ve ever seen. The characters and places you visit in this game are very detailed and Thimbleweed Park is a good call back to old adventure games while also being a “modern” game too.Oh and there is a visual twist somewhere in this game that is one of the neatest things I’ve ever seen a game do.
I know thats vague but I don’t want to spoil that plot twist!As for the game’s audio, the best thing about it is the voice acting. I thought all of the voice acting was high quality and enjoyed the voices a lot. The game doesn’t have much in the way of a soundtrack and its sound effects are ok. The voice acting in this game more than makes up for the audio in other places.Thimbleweed Park, overall, is a very good game.
If you like Adventure games and you have a Nintendo Switch, I highly recommend this game.Thimbleweed Park isn’t perfect but it absolutely delivers in the areas where Adventure games should deliver: dialogue, story, weird characters, and interesting puzzles.

And you’ll want to play the game more than once in order to get the full story!Sure, I wish the game’s controls were easy to learn and it would have been great to have a cool soundtrack, but otherwise, this is an Adventure game you should check out if you love this sort of thing. Let’s support this genre on Switch! I want to see more of these games.Thanks to Terrible Toybox PR for providing a review copy of this game.

Parents need to know that Thimbleweed Park is a downloadable adventure game. It's clearly an homage to old-school point-and-click adventure games created by two people who helped popularize the genre back in the 1980s. Although the game centers on a murder investigation, there's only minimal violence that's cartoonishly shown in the game. There are some mature comments within the game, such as some profanity and a focus on lewd dialogue related to sex. There's also a regular amount of drug and alcohol references, as well as a mission to track down psychedelic mushrooms. THIMBLEWEED PARK centers on a murder investigation being conducted by two FBI agents in a town where seemingly everyone is a suspect. Intended as a spoof of, and, the game adheres thoroughly to the structure of a police investigation.
Most of your time is spent trying to piece together what happened and why and then making an arrest. As this spoof comes from the co-creators of Maniac Mansion, a classic point-and-click adventure game, the investigation also necessitates a fair amount of roundabout, abstract, or obtuse puzzles - also part of the charm and appeal. In many ways, this point-and-click adventure both does and doesn't feel like a fresh experience. The game is most enjoyable when it doesn't make winking reference to games that came out in the 1980s and frees itself from the proverbial fourth wall. But the deeper you get in, the more the DNA of its creators shines through: small moments that don't deserve or even merit funny writing (like looking at a toilet lid) unexpectedly provoke a chuckle, and puzzles that seemed aggravating before suddenly prove deceptively simple. That has always been the appeal of this genre, and thankfully that spirit perseveres here.That said, the only other deterrent to being fully onboard here is the markedly fluctuating voice acting. The game lets you play as five characters (thankfully, each of them carries a to-do list so you don't have to struggle to remember what you should be doing), and at least one of them is so cringingly bad you may want to give all their items to another character to carry out their tasks so you don't have to hear their voice. Other than that, the game is paced very well and is enjoyable in small bursts.
You won't run across any puzzles that will stop you completely dead in your tracks for a few weeks at a time, but you will definitely feel challenged more than a few times as you make your way to the end. It's worth hanging with, if only because it's obvious that the people who helped popularize this genre still have more to say, more to do, and more they can dazzle us with.
