What players say

Thimbleweed Park is a classic point-and-click game and it is a truly amazing game. I had a lot of fun playing it. It definitely has some of the issues, though with point and click games where some of the puzzles are so obtuse that they become a little bit frustrating trying to figure out. I played this game completely on the steam deck docked to a TV and I had no real issues playing the game as it runs perfectly...

About the game

In Thimbleweed Park, a dead body is the least of your problems. Switch between five playable characters to uncover the surreal secrets of this strange town in a modern mystery adventure game from the creators of Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion. The deeper you go, the weirder it gets.
