Thimbleweed Park

Developed by adventure game veteran Ron Gilbert, this multi-character epic is set entirely in the fictional town of Thimbleweed Park. Its open structure means you can easily drift away from a puzzle that’s causing you trouble and try another one, which gives it an enjoyably leisurely pace. And the puzzles are incredibly satisfying to solve, avoiding the infuriating leaps of logic that plague many early adventure games—even the good ones.
