Thank Goodness You're Here: A Hilarious Puzzle Adventure

The strange indie game Thank Goodness You're Here has been making the round across social media. The game by Coal Supper was released on August 1. It takes players on a journey through the fictional Northern England town of Barnsworth. They take the role of a tiny and talented traveling salesman who does more odd jobs than actually selling anything.

A Delightful Dose of British Humor

As Thank Goodness You're Here is set in Northern England, regional humor and dialects are aplenty in the game. This is seen in the starting menu since players can choose to translate the heavy accents to more common English through the subtitles. The option to keep the subtitles true to what the characters are actually saying is also an option.

If one chooses the latter option, "New Game" is replaced with "Gu On Then." This representation of the game's dialects remains a constant throughout the game, especially for characters with thicker accents. This is one of the many aspects that show how much fun those with Coal Supper had while making this game.

Throughout the game, players will encounter references and jokes that people not from areas in Northern England might not understand entirely. However, they can give anyone a chuckle since that's how funny this game actually is.

That means this humor can be experienced from outside and inside perspectives, which is surprisingly artistic for this strange little adventure game. While the gameplay is more simplistic than even many mobile games, that only adds to the whacky experience.

An Odd and Twisted Adventure

Thank Goodness You're Here is surprising in more ways than one. While it is cartoony and silly, some parts of the game get shockingly dark. Without giving away too many spoilers, some of the experiences in the game include severe injuries, discussions of death, and sexual content.

These moments are sprinkled in between moments of laughter and other kinds of chaos. That's what makes them all the more shocking for players experiencing it for the first time. It's perhaps this shock and awe mixed with comedy that has drawn so many big names in the content creation world to it.

Since certain parts of the game contain borderline disturbing moments and plentiful sexual innuendos, this game is obviously not meant for children. This comes as no surprise for those familiar with Coal Supper's other strange game, The Good Time Garden. Unlike Thank Goodness You're Here, that game is free for players to experience.

Final Thoughts

This game has rightfully earned the Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam. The rating is rightfully earned. Thank Goodness You're Here is truly a unique game jammed with humor and moments that make players gasp out of shock. It might just be in the running for the funniest game in 2024.

For those who want to experience it for themselves, Thank Goodness You're Here available on PC, macOS, Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PS5. Players can pick it up for $19.99 to fully explore the down of Barnsworth as a silly little salesman.
