New Game From Maniac Mansion Developers

The brains behind many classic LucasArts adventures, Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick, are back – and they’re bringing a project to Kickstarter. The new project Thimbleweed Park is a retro-styled point-and-click adventure, and is backed up by a crowdfunding campaign which includes humorous tiers such as the $25 guilt absolution special for players who pirated Maniac Mansion and Monkey Island as kids.

The campaign page itself describes the game as follows: “Thimbleweed Park is the curious story of two washed up detectives called in to investigate a dead body found in the river just outside of town. It’s a game where you switch between five playable characters while uncovering the dark, satirical and bizarre world of Thimbleweed Park.” It’s clearly hit the mark with players, who have pledged over $200,000 of the requested $375,000 in just two days.

If the game sounds like it’s your kind of thing, head to the Thimbleweed Park Kickstarter page. However, if you just want to learn more about the classic adventures, why not pick up Retro Gamer’s digital exclusive LucasArts Signature Collection?
