Two years ago, I played Thimbleweed
Park through the Limited Run physical release and thoroughly enjoyed it
until the ending left a lingering bad taste in my mouth. Recently, in response
to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ron Gilbert’s studio, Terrible Toybox, released a short
game, Delores: A Thimbleweed Park Mini-Adventure, that doubles as a
prototype for Ron Gilbert’s new game engine. Since I played the original game,
and Delores was free, I decided I may as well play it. For the price, I
appreciate what it did and that it didn’t try to be anything bigger, but, like
the original game, it’s a little rough.
