"Lost along a dusty stretch of highway, the town of Thimbleweed Park once boasted an opulent hotel, a vibrant business district and the state’s largest pillow factory, but now teeters on the edge of oblivion and continues to exist for no real reason.
It’s a town that makes you itch and your skin crawl. It’s a place no one ever looks for, but everyone seems to find. "
God Gave Point N Click To Ya!
Thimbleweed Park will be a new game made in the classic style of point n clicks from the golden era of the genre….
The campaign has been super successful so far with the goal being reached and exceeded in a matter of days!
Ron Gilbert was quoted as saying,
“I am at a loss for words.
The support has been overwhelming and it's making us giddy,”
The support has been overwhelming and it's making us giddy,”
“Before launching this Kickstarter, Gary and I debated endlessly if people would want a game that felt like it was made in 1987.
A game made at the beginning of the golden era of point & click adventures. I think we have our answer. All 10,000+ of them.”
