In Thimbleweed Park, a dead body is the least of your problems -- especially now that the game has received a big content update! The two biggest changes in this update are an in-game hint line and new conversations between playable characters.
In-Game Hint Line
Before there were walkthroughs and Let’s Plays, there were 1-900 numbers you could call when you were desperately stuck in an adventure game. (They cost $2 per minute!) We’ve brought back this classic feature with the HintTron 3000™. Dial 4468 (HINT) from any in-game phone to get context-sensitive hints for the part where you’re stuck. Luckily the HintTron 3000™ is absolutely free -- no outrageous phone bills from MMucasFlem!
New Conversations
Thimbleweed Park’s lead actors recently returned to the studio to record a bunch of new conversations amongst themselves. Now when two playable characters are sharing the screen, they can talk to each other instead of awkwardly standing around. Why? Because a lot of you asked for this feature, and we thought it was a good idea. Sometimes that’s all it takes. :)
Patch Notes for Build 1389.918:
Keys 1-6 select dialog choices.
Keys 9 and 0 cycle selectable characters.
Disable initializing the controller by putting disableController: 1 in Prefs.json
Playable characters do random greetings when seeing each other.
Playable characters can TALK TO each other.
Call the in-game hint line by dialing 4468 on any phone.
Various bug fixes.
