Thimbleweed Park is Set to Arrive in Q1 2017 – December 7, 2016

Ransome is one of five playable characters in Thimbleweed Park, the new adventure game from those *beeping* *beeps* Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick. (What, you’ve never heard of them? They’re only the guys who *beeping* invented the genre with Lucasfilm’s Maniac Mansion…)

He’s obviously a jerk, but Ransome’s not full of *beep* when he says that in Thimbleweed Park, a dead body is the least of your problems. Between the haunted hotel, the giant pigeons clucking about “signals”, and the town founder’s obsession with vacuum tubes, this place is *beeped* up. Nobody in this town can be trusted — not even the two *beepers* trying to crack the case!

For some other perspectives on what the *beep* is going on, check out these earlier trailers:

Oh, and did you hear about the toilet paper scandal? Don’t people have better things to worry about than *beeping* toilets?

Let’s face it: in a town this weird, with a mystery this big, the *beeping* locals can’t be trusted to get to the bottom of things. Sorry, but you’re going to have to get your hands dirty when Thimbleweed Park releases for Xbox One, Windows, Mac, and Linux in a month or two. This game ain’t going to play itself.

I've been with JA in one capacity or other since 2003. I'm currently website administrator. I'm also a digital artist (my avatar is one of my creations). I write reviews and articles, create graphics and basically help tend the site. It's work I enjoy very much. I love playing games of all kinds, but adventure and RPGs are my favorites (particularly scary/dark/unsettling ones). At the top of my list are The Cat Lady, The Longest Journey, Dreamfall, Still Life (first one only), Scratches and Culpa Innata. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool recluse and prefer the company of animals, hardware and ghosts to human beings (no offense). And no bio would be complete without my saying that I do NOT care for phones of ANY sort. Further, I think Dell computers are garbage and that Microsoft has become megalomaniacal.
