Thimbleweed Park Review – April 20, 2017
On September 21st, Nintendo Switch players will be able to party like its 1987 with their very own version of Thimbleweed Park. Both Joy-Con controllers and touch screen controls will be supported, making it easy to switch (heh, heh) between tabletop, handheld, and TV modes.
In case you’ve been living under a rock, allow me to briefly describe the game.
It’s October 15, 1987. The town of Thimbleweed Park is not doing well. A rotting body is lying face down under a bridge. The town’s founder has recently died under suspicious circumstances. The hotel might be haunted. A sinister bit of business is taking place in the abandoned pillow factory. A giant pizza slice is roaming the streets.
You’ll also find two federal agents, a washed-up insult clown, an aspiring game developer and the ghost of a pillow salesman. During the course of the game you’ll get to inhabit all of them as you go about unraveling the game’s surreal mystery.
So is Thimbleweed Park a game you’d want to play? The developers have provided a short quiz to tell you just that:
~Do you still feel guilty about microwaving a hamster in Maniac Mansion?
~Would you know what to say if someone suggested that you fight like a dairy farmer?
~Do you have no idea what those last two questions are about, but love stuff like Twin Peaks, the X-Files, Stranger Things, jokes, puzzles, and vacuum tubes?
If you’ve answered Yes to any of these questions, Thimbleweed Park is for you. Look for the game on September 21st at the Nintendo eShop. The price will be $19.99 USD.
