From the creators of The Good Time Garden, and the publisher of Untitled Goose Game, comes Thank Goodness You’re Here! Wishlist now on Steam
After arriving early for a big meeting with the mayor of a bizarre Northern English town, a traveling salesman takes the time to explore and meet the locals, who are all very eager to give him a series of increasingly odd jobs… “Thank Goodness You’re Here!” is a comedy slapformer, which unfolds over time as the players’ exploration and antics leave their mark on the strange town of Barnsworth. With each completed odd job, new areas of the town open up, stranger and stranger tasks become available, and the clock ticks towards our salesman’s big meeting. The town’s colorful inhabitants are brought to life with vibrant hand-drawn animation, fully voiced dialogue, and wall-to-wall double entendres. Thank Goodness You’re Here! is coming to PC, Switch and PS5 in 2024.
I assume “slapformer” is a portmanteau of “slap stick” and “platformer”. I’m intrigued, and I can’t wait to check out Barnsworth.
