Thimbleweed Park

Thimbleweed Park is an adventure game about two federal agents investigating a murder in a small town. The story introduces several playable characters, including the agents, a disgraced clown, a local game developer, and a young woman aspiring to join a technology company. The narrative is set in 1987 and gradually uncovers the mysteries of the town, its residents, and the circumstances surrounding the crime.

Players explore environments, interact with non-playable characters, and solve puzzles using a verb-based command interface reminiscent of classic point-and-click adventures. Multiple characters become playable throughout the story, and players switch between them to progress, often requiring cooperation to solve puzzles. The game features branching dialogue options, inventory-based problem solving, and a retro-styled user interface designed to evoke earlier graphic adventure titles.
