Play as five characters to uncover the surreal mystery of Thimbleweed Park -- a town where a dead body is the least of your problems. A haunted hotel, an abandoned circus, a burnt-out pillow factory, a dead body pixelating under the bridge, toilets that run on vacuum tubes... you’ve never visited a place like Thimbleweed Park before. Five people with nothing in common have been drawn to this rundown, forgotten town. They don’t know it yet, but they are all deeply connected. And they’re being watched. ...Who is Agent Ray really working for and will she get what they want? ...What does Junior Agent Reyes know about a 20 year old factory fire that he’s not saying? ...Will the ghost, Franklin, get to speak to his daughter again? ...Will Ransome the *Beeping* Clown ever become a decent human being? ...Will aspiring game developer Delores abandon her dreams and stick by her family? ...And most importantly: how come no one cares about that dead body? By the end of a long, strange night in Thimbleweed Park, all of this will be answered -- and you’ll question everything you thought you knew. In a town like Thimbleweed Park, a dead body is the least of your problems. Key Features: - From Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick, creators of Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion. - A neo-noir mystery set in 1987. - 5 playable characters who can work together… or get on each other’s nerves. - Not a walking simulator! - Satisfying puzzles intertwined with a twisty-turny story that will stay with you. - 1980s-style telephone hint line gives in-game puzzle help -- if you want it - A vast, bizarre world to explore at your own pace. - A joke every 2 minutes... guaranteed!* - Casual and Hard modes with varied difficulty. - English voices with English, German, French, Italian, Russian, and Spanish subtitles. *Not a guarantee.

I'm usually done reading when the characters are still at the first half of the sentence, especially with long sentences it gets annoying when I can't skip text. At first I hought there's no option for it on this iOS version until I discovered pinching is the way to go. Sad there's so little activity in this thread but guess that's why most Point and Click adventures need a kickstarter. The puzzles have an excellent balance without any illogical stuff and on popular demand they apparently even introduced a hint system (via a number you can call in-game). On PC I played the first version which didn't have this and finishing the game wasn't an issue. It was a great design-idea to put 5 playable charcters into the game, if you're stuck with one just continue with another to get your head free. And the humor is top notch - Lots of whacky characters and funny references. Especially *beeping* Ransome the cursed Clown quickly gained a place in my heart Vendince Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Oct 17, 2013 102 0 0 #17 Vendince, Sep 20, 2017 That far back? Was going to email about them not being iOS 11 compatible, but if theyve been off the App Store for that long... I downloaded them on this phone not that long ago. orangecan Well-Known Member Aug 9, 2011 2,000 150 63 #18 orangecan, Sep 20, 2017 It's a shame because they were really good conversions as well. I'd forgotten Disney got the rights to them.

I checked my purchased items and can only install the also purchased Tales of Monkey Island anymore (the not so special episodic Telltale titles). Always thought purchased items stay with you forever, even when they're pulled from the store but I probably hadn't installed them for so long that they weren't in the cloud yet Bitcoin's post reminded me that my last playthrough was long enough ago to once more take another stab at the first two MI's ... Really sucks the publisher can just yank a paid game away. Digital Wild West ... Now the only other possibility is playing the originals on the ScummVM emulator if you own them and are jailbroken. By far not the same as the fantastic remakes though. And found the info about the year they pulled it in this article P. S.: At least Thimbleweed Park is a big nod to the old Lucas Arts titles. In some regards (illogical puzzles) it's even much better than some of the classics. Ron Gilbert really outdid himself (again) with this game. Miss the times where there were multiple Point and Click gems like this every year ... Ahh nostalgia ... At least TP is scratching this itch though - If only for a while-a-reno Lurchroboter Well-Known Member Sep 15, 2016 163 21 18 #20 Lurchroboter, Sep 20, 2017 How do you folks approach this gem? I plan on two playthroughs, first one on casual, the second one on full mode. Man, this is so good it gives me shivers # really glad to see the old formula made it into modern day so well. This title is a classic, and not just in the hell-yeah-they-dont-make-em-like-this-anymore-way! Would love to discuss the (awesome) plot more, but i will definitely not be the one to spoil it for you. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
