Thimbleweed Park 2017

Is it still worth playing?

Terrible Toybox's point and click adventure, revealed in November 2014 with a Kickstarter campaign, released in March 2017 for Windows, Switch and other platforms. It comes from Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick, the lead designers of Maniac Mansion and The Secret of Monkey Island, and is made to look and play like the graphic adventures of that time. It works on the principles of early graphic adventures: you move through scenes in third person and use verbs such as use, pick up and talk to on objects, characters and inventory items. The story plays out in chapters, each with a set of goals to complete before you advance, and some puzzles need more than one character. There are five playable characters, and you can switch between them at any moment. Five characters to switch between keep the puzzles asking who should do what, and they still do.
