A small town nestled in the shadow of an abandoned pillow factory. A corpse pixelating in the river. Two federal agents with ulterior motives. The case seems open and shut until you start peeling back the layers and realize that in a town like this, a dead body is the least of your problems.

This isn't Thimbleweed Park's first mysterious death. The sheriff, the foul-mouthed clown, the guy dressed up like a giant slice of pizza -- everyone in town has something to hide, including all five(!) playable characters. How do you get to the bottom of a mystery this big? For starters, you'll have to put on your thinking cap, because nothing in Thimbleweed Park is as simple as "use gas can on chainsaw."

Thimbleweed Park is a dark comedy/mystery adventure from Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick, the guys who basically invented graphic adventure games with LucasFilm's Maniac Mansion. They still love point & click, and they want to remind you why you love it, too -- or why you should start! No matter what you think Thimbleweed Park is at first glance, we guarantee it's not what you're expecting.

The screenshots give me Zak McKracken and Maniac Mansion flashbacks.
