Taking place in the eponymously named town, you start as FBI agents Ray and Reyes who are tasked with solving a murder. Gaining an additional three other playable characters, you must make your way around the town to get to the bottom of all the secrets it may contain. Developed by seasoned point-and-click creators Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick, Thimbleweed Park is a game that is meant to bring a style of play very similar to prominent '80s and '90s titles of the same genre.

With a brilliant original soundtrack to accompany it, the connection and tension that are built into 12 Minutes are truly masterful. This all points to the fact that point-and-click survival-horror has immense versatility, latent with possibilities not yet explored by big titles. Recent indie titles such as Jorry and NightCry have returned to the roots of point-and-click, but it may be a while until we have another AAA game that fully incorporates it into its gameplay.
However, there is a vocal trend in horror gaming right now that is celebrating games that align more aspects of survival and less with pure action. The success of games like Until Dawn , and the call for another Silent Hill title reflects this trend, and it may only be a matter of time before developers realize that point-and-click is the perfect avenue for a refreshing take on the genre.
