**Thank Goodness You’re Here!** is a 2D adventure game full of absurd humor, developed by the British studio *Coal Supper* and published by *Panic* in August 2024. Players take on the role of a traveling salesman who arrives early for a meeting with the mayor in the fictional northern English town of Barnsworth. Instead of waiting around, he begins exploring the town, triggering a series of comedic and bizarre events.
The gameplay is simple and intuitive — jump, slap, dash — but each task in Barnsworth is a separate, hand-drawn scene filled with visual gags and mini-puzzles. The town acts as a micro-open world where your actions permanently change the environment and the dialogue of its quirky inhabitants. You help eccentric locals with unusual tasks like pulling a man’s arm out of a drain or chasing sentient sausages, making the town feel alive and responsive to your antics.
The graphics look like a hand-drawn British comedy series, with a strong Yorkshire flavor—from dialects and brick buildings to a love of fried food. The game’s humor balances absurd slapstick with light social satire, drawing comparisons to Monty Python and *Untitled Goose Game*. The main campaign lasts about 2–3 hours, but the wealth of visual jokes and secret scenes encourages replayability.
Despite its relatively short length, *Thank Goodness You’re Here!* has received praise from critics for its detailed animation, sharp comedic timing, and unique atmosphere. Available on PC, Mac, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Nintendo Switch, it runs smoothly even on modest hardware. It’s a great pick for fans of British humor, lighthearted adventures, and creative comedy experiences.
