![]() But Thimbleweed Park was “real” up to that point.Ģ.How could the ending be fake when we have all the proofs that it’s true ? My point is, if at the end of the game Delores is truly inside a simulation and the characters have all become videogame characters except herself (I don’t know what she is at this point, some sort of mental projection of herself ?), the largest part of the game happens in the “real world.” The final fourth wall is a fake. He’s learnt to stand up for himself but as soon as he starts talking to Delores he goes back to his “you know… you know…” He could have been the one to stop her, instead he tells her to do whatever she feels like. Ransom wants to explore the factory to find a doll so no, he’ll have to be satisfied with another ending. Ray wants the AI so it obviously is a problem. Chuck won’t allow these questions to be raised. Reyes wanted to clean his father’s name but knowing the latter died because of Pillowtron, the agent could have shifted to wanting to destroy the AI. He’s written an unsatisfactory ending for each character which allows him to neutralise their influence over Delores. ![]() Many players complained about the fact that the whole plot was pointless because of its conclusion. ![]() The problem here is that once the revelation is made nothing has a meaning anymore. While playing the game, many of us had guessed that the last part of the story was going to be very strange: everyone is a robot or entirely mind-controlled, or just several characters, or we’re inside Chuck’s or Delores’ video game etc… the game spontaneously makes you expect something that is going to hurt your feelings by destroying a meaningful aspect of the story. I must say that I found myself in the position of knowing that I could have enjoyed such an ending but that the specific way it was done felt either clumsy or very suspicious. Many players totally disliked the ending in which the characters discover that they are in a video game whereas others defended it. Thimbleweed Park is so convoluted that it’s really hard not to look ridiculous when trying to understand how its story could possibly make sense. The purpose is to explore ideas in order to move closer to the truth instead of believing in Chuck's version word for word.Įdit edit: more concise and more accurate version of this analysis I'm obviously developping several ideas that have no way of being checked. Edit: I've discovered elements that contradict several points I make in this article but I'm not correcting it because I didn't write it to be right from one end to the other in the first place.
