Wie bereits mal in Games meiner Jugend erzählt, war ich ein großer Fan der Point and Click Adventures. Monkey Island 1 war mein erstes „offiziell“ gekauftes Spiel auf 4 Disketten!

Ron Gilbert wird bald ein neues Game in diesem Stil herausbringen. Das werde ich mir auf jeden Fall ansehen. Es wird 5 spielbare Charaktere beinhalten und erinnert dadurch schon stark an den Klassiker Zak McKracken. Ich bin gespannt :-)

Thimbleweed Park – Neues Ron Gilbert Point and Click Adventure

In a town like Thimbleweed Park, a dead body is the least of your problems.
Thimbleweed Park is an all new epic graphic adventure game by Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick, the creators of Maniac Mansion.

Thimbleweed Park is the curious story of two washed up federal agents called in to investigate a dead body found in the river just outside of town, bloated and pixelated from a death come too soon. 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 stinks of a desperate longing to be what it once was.

The game will feature Ron and Gary’s trademark satirical humor, poking fun at Twin Peaks, True Detective and The X-Files, with a little Stephen King thrown in just for fun.

Thimbleweed Park was successfully funded on Kickstarter in Dec 2014 and is scheduled to be completed early 2017 for Xbox One, Windows, Mac and Linux.  Android and iOS will follow soon after.
