Reminds me of Life is Strange, which is a really good "adventure game" btw.

  Life is Strange is, in a sense, a much better adventure game than Thimbleweed Park (not even talking about the storyline here) simply because there's no stupid puzzle to solve at every corner that defies basic logic - I guess TBP is made this way (to make you feel like you were back in the 80s) but I don't think there is much charm in being stuck just because your mind is not twisted enough.

  Or "The Pillars of the Earth", or "Heaven's Vault"... As adventure games have been maturing, it is increasingly more difficult to pull off an "old-school" kind of adventure puzzle game; and so, the linked advice piece gets even more relevant for game designers who want to land on the better side of the Sturgeon's Law.

  I was pleasantly surprised by this game. I got it on a Steam sale for a great price and thought, why not? One of the best games I've played all decade. In fact I bought the next one in the series, I think "Before the Storm" hoping it would continue the magic but ugh, nope. I stopped playing after the first few iterations it was just so off-key. Appears that another studio took over for that one and boy can you tell.
