I don't have any contacts with the developer and previous messages went unanswered, so sadly it's not one I will personally be covering in any detail.

It looks like we have another success story thanks to Kickstarter, where the developers raised a tidy sum of $626,250!

Features
  • From Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick, creators of Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion.
  • A neo-noir mystery set in 1987.
  • 5 playable characters who can work together… or get on each other’s nerves.
  • Not a walking simulator!
  • Satisfying puzzles intertwined with a twisty-turny story that will stay with you.
  • A vast, bizarre world to explore at your own pace.
  • A joke every 2 minutes... guaranteed!*
  • Casual and Hard modes with varied difficulty.
  • English voices with English, German, French, Italian, and Spanish subtitles.

*Not a guarantee.

Fantastic to see what looks like a very high quality point & click adventure get day-1 Linux support for sure. Hope you all enjoy it, looks good! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Kickstarted this one and have been waiting for this one for a while. Really excited to see the finished product.

Reviews so far look good... Like classic Monkey Island / Maniac Mansion

It feels really really nice to play Thimbleweed Park. I would strongly recommend this one to everyone that has the slightest history with Lucas adventure games and actually to anybody else too ;)

PS: It runs perfectly on Linux!
