10 Video Game Warnings You Totally Ignored
2. Don't Use The Remote - Thimbleweed Park
One of the most wonderful things about Thimbleweed Park is that it's a game you literally cannot lose or die in, unless you are really, really trying - or the character from the prologue.
This is because the game is made so you can never accidentally cut yourself off from winning it, which might sound like nothing, but is a surprisingly common occurrence in many point and click adventure games.
As such, there's only one way to go awry, and that is in the form of the strange device you find in Chuck's workshop. This device also goes by the name of Phillip's Dangerous Dövice, which might serve better to clue you in to the potential this item has.
Because, if you use it - and it's a point and click game, of course you're going to try and use it - you will be warned that actually, you probably don't want to. Insist you do, and you'll be treated to the mansion blowing up, because you've just used its self-destruct button.
Even if you press this outside of the mansion (which you probably won't, because you find it inside), you still get a game over, as a sort of slap on the wrist for all that property damage.
