Thank Goodness You’re Here – When First Impressions Capture My Hear

You should always be cautious about forming hasty judgments, particularly when they're influenced by meticulously curated reveal trailers. But amidst the array of serious games unveiled at Gamescom 2023, one title truly captured my heart: 'Thank Goodness You're Here'. From the moment its trailer graced the screen during the convention's Opening Night Live broadcast, I found myself utterly enchanted. Developed by Coal Supper and published by Panic, this game exudes the delightful charm of hand-drawn cartoon chaos and eccentricity—something I personally adore. Here's hoping they do the pitch of it being a 'comedy slapformer' justice.

About Thank Goodness You’re Here

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.
