Do you want a Thimbleweed Park 2?

Do you want a Thimbleweed Park 2?

Hmm… it depends.

If getting TWP2 would imply also not getting a different game from Ron Gilbert / Terrible Toybox, then I would probably answer “no”, because I’m more curious about what a next project might be.

But I would probably answer “yes” to the hypothetical question “Would you like a TWP sequel, magically appearing at the snapping of fingers?”, because I think that there might be several ways to continue the story.

I would be particularly interested in a sequel focused on the characters realizing that they failed their attempt and that they never had free will in the first place. This realization would require the characters being aware that the simulation was rebooted again, but this would be easy to accomplish from a narrative point of view, because Chuck already had a way to measure the reboots and the characters might find a lead to the “uncoupled vacuum tube” that Chuck built. Also Ray might play an instrumental role in this new story, being the only character who escaped from the simulation.
