You’re going to have to get familiar with verbs, instructing your pixelated avatars around the environs of the wider Thimbleweed County as you, as one...

About The Game
Welcome to Thimbleweed Park. Population: 80 nutcases.
A haunted hotel, an abandoned circus, a burnt-out pillow factory, a dead body pixelating under the bridge, toilets that run on vacuum tubes... You’ve never visited a place like this before.
Five people with nothing in common have been drawn to this run-down, forgotten town. They don’t know it yet, but they are all deeply connected. And they’re being watched.
...Who is Agent Ray really working for and will she get what they want?
...What does Junior Agent Reyes know about a 20-year-old factory fire that he’s not saying?
...Will the ghost, Franklin, get to speak to his daughter again?
...Will Ransome the *Beeping* Clown ever become a decent human being?
...Will aspiring game developer Delores abandon her dreams and stick by her family?
...And most importantly: how come no-one cares about that dead body?
By the end of a long, strange night in Thimbleweed Park, all of this will be answered – and you’ll question everything you thought you knew.
In a town like Thimbleweed Park, a dead body is the least of your problems.

SPOILER ALERT
The game was absolutely great: hard, intelligent, funny, constantly breaking the 4th-wall... but it took things too far.
Well, the game is all about breaking the 4th-wall. And it leaves a lot of unanswered mysteries even the basic ones!
Safe to say that I got disappointed with the ending. It's a marvelous game until you realizes what's the ending is gonna be (yes, you can tell well before its finish).
I throw a 8.2 out of 10 for this one:
Graphics: 10/10 - Love its retro look with being too simple or overlooked.
Controls: 10/10 - It's your classic adventure game at its best!
Sound: 10/10 - Fantastic! Even after finishing the game, the soundtrack keeps popping in my mind!
Story: 7/10 - A disappointing ending and a few of "unsolved" mysteries. It could be a lot better.
Replay: 4/10 - There's not much to return to after you beat it.
Should the story be more satisfying after you convict the wrong person and tries to clear his name while achieving all the characters personal endings, it could easily be a 9 out of 10, at least.
Just got this game and played for a day. Feels very 'at home' for a person that loved Lucast Arts point&click games & later on the Broken Sword series. Humour is there, it's hard to stop playing. Will see how it goes further
@apa-sl Finished. Took me 11h. For me it is a strong 9/10 - very classical point&click. Personally I liked the ending.
Thimbleweed park is a great point-n-click adventure. The puzzles is really Well design. The story is good - but not great. Having 5 characters and a whole bunch of Easter-eggs to earlier Lucasart point-n-click adventures means the story is a little fragmented. But I had lot a fun while playing it. The jugdment of the story is more an afterthought.
