🌍️ Wikipedia:

Thimbleweed Park is a point-and-click adventure game developed by Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick for Microsoft Windows, macOS, iOS, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Linux, Android, and Nintendo Switch. The game was revealed on November 18, 2014, along with a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign with a goal of US$375,000, and was released on March 30, 2017.

The game is a spiritual successor to Gilbert and Winnick's previous games Maniac Mansion (1987) and The Secret of Monkey Island (1990), and is designed to be similar to graphic adventure games released in that time period, both visually and gameplay-wise.

Gameplay

The game is played similarly to early graphic adventure games; it is seen from a third person perspective, with a view of the area taking up the majority of the screen, while the bottom portion is taken up by the player's inventory and a list of verbs, such as "use", "pick up", and "talk to". By clicking on a verb followed by one or two items or characters, the player character will attempt to perform the action described. An example given in the reveal trailer was "Use balloon animal with corpse", performed by clicking on the verb "use", the "balloon animal" item in the player's inventory, and a corpse found in an area in the game.

The game has five different player characters which the player can switch between in the middle of gameplay, similarly to Maniac Mansion.

Plot

FBI agents Ray and Reyes arrive at the town of Thimbleweed Park to investigate a murder. Their investigation leads them to several persons of interest: Chuck, the recently deceased owner of the PillowTronics robotics company; Ransome the Clown, cursed to wear his makeup forever after going too far in his insulting performances; Delores, computer programmer and niece of Chuck; and Delores's downtrodden father Franklin.

Franklin attempts to pitch his business ideas to Chuck, but is murdered at the town hotel and becomes a ghost. Delores discovers that Chuck has written her out of his will, angered by her choice to pursue a career in video games. Ray and Reyes gather blood samples, fingerprints, and photographic evidence, and arrest vagrant Willie, who protests his innocence. They leave town, but return incognito to pursue other agendas: Ray has been tasked with stealing computer secrets, and Reyes wants to clear his father of causing the fire that burnt down the PillowTronics factory.

Ray, Reyes, Delores and Ransome infiltrate the factory. Delores disables the security systems and discovers that Chuck has uploaded his personality into the factory computer. Chuck reveals that everyone in the town is trapped inside a video game that keeps repeating, and that the group must free themselves by deleting the game.

Ransome apologises to the citizens of Thimbleweed Park, clearing his reputation. Franklin says goodbye to his daughter and disappears to the afterlife. In the local paper, Reyes publishes a confession from Chuck clearing his father of blame for the factory fire. Ray steals a game design document from game designer Ron Gilbert and is transferred out of the game by her employers. Delores enters the "wireframe world", a prototype version of Thimbleweed Park with simplistic graphics, and shuts down the computer.

À propos de ce jeu

Bienvenue à Thimbleweed Park. Population : 80 farfelus.

Un hôtel hanté, un cirque à l’abandon, une fabrique d’oreillers incendiée, un cadavre en train de pixelliser sous un pont, des toilettes qui fonctionnent avec des tubes à vide… Il est peu probable que vous ayez déjà visité une ville comme celle-ci.

Cinq individus que tout semble opposer ont été attirés dans cette ville quasi déserte. Ils l’ignorent encore, mais ils sont tous profondément liés. Et quelqu’un les surveille.

...Qui sont les véritables employeurs de l’agent Ray et arrivera-t-elle à trouver ce qu’ils cherchent ?
...Quel secret l’agent junior Reyes occulte-t-il au sujet de l’incendie qui a ravagé la fabrique d’oreillers locale il y a 20 ans ?
...Franklin le fantôme parviendra-t-il à reparler un jour à sa fille ?
...Ransome le clown ignoble apprendra-t-il à communiquer avec les autres sans les insulter ?
...La jeune Delores devra-t-elle faire une croix sur ses rêves de devenir développeuse de jeux vidéo pour rester avec sa famille ?
