10 Hidden Gems On Nintendo Switch

Thimbleweed Park is a point-and-click game that wears all of its adventure game inspirations on its sleeve. It's a goofy, funny, and genuinely interesting murder mystery that evokes X-Files, and if that doesn't appeal to you then you can probably just move on to the next page.

Developed by Terrible Toybox and released in 2017, brains behind this game actually created OG adventure game classics, Maniac Mansion and The Secret of Monkey Island. That much is easy to see because Thimbleweed Park looks, sounds, and plays exactly like one of those games.

Do you miss the days when you needed to pick up a wrench because the hobo on the street corner needs it to open his lunchbox? Well that's the exact kind of game Thimbleweed Park is. It's classic adventure game fare, in which you play as two detectives in the quirky town of Thimbleweed Park, investigating a murder.

Along the way you'll meet a colourful cast of weirdos, each of whom have distinct personalities and great voice acting. The game is confident and rightfully so with its abundance of style and interesting story that is a bit more deft that it initially appears. Quality adventure game fare this.
