Dinsun Review

This takes me back to the Sierra days. Thickety Creek is a classic point-and-click adventure. No combat, no timers, just you and a bunch of items you need to combine in the right order. The art is quite nice—it has a storybook feel to it. The puzzles are mostly logical, though there’s the occasional 'moon logic' moment where you’re not sure why a certain item works. It’s a short experience, and once you know the solution, there’s no reason to play it again. But for a one-off mystery, it’s a respectable effort. No microtransactions or ads, which is exactly how a game should be.
