    L'indé du dimanche surfe sur la vague des rétrons, en l'occurrence les nostalgiques des jeux d'aventure (de merde -pléonasme) comme on en faisait dans les années 90 et plus précisément les horreurs Lucasarts.

    Pour restituer l'ambiance de l'époque, tout le jeu est donc lardé comme un vieux goret de pixel lard mais reprend aussi l'humour mongolo caractéristique d'une pseudo-histoire d'enquête et d'énigmes à la mords-moi-le-fion ainsi que l'interface déplorable tout aussi caractéristique.

    Affreux et très con, un déterrage d'un jeu d'un autre âge à la fois opportuniste et lamentable à tous les égards.    … Expand

    Thimbleweed Park is a modern throwback to the classic point-and-click adventures from LucasArts, with heavy influences from Maniac Mansion and The Secret of Monkey Island. It has an engaging story at the beginning that slowly intertwines with the various other characters to become a little more open, as there seem to be bigger, underlying issues than figuring out who the killer is. Although the game is forgiving by banishing cheap deaths to extend gameplay, it doesn't make the puzzles any easier to figure out. Thinking outside the box for illogical solutions to logical puzzles is the way to go, yet it can be frustrating and grating at times.

    Perfectly evokes the brilliant point-and-clicks of old, from the puzzles to the one-liners. [June 2017, p.77]

    Overall, Thimbleweed Park is a great game which is elevated by its story rather than its mechanics. While selecting commands is a novel concept, younger players will be frustrated by the gameplay. Many will want to give up because it can take several minutes to decipher which combination of words and items work. However, the dialogue choices and quirky nature of the game may overcome that. Only time will tell.
