Dropsy is one of those games that makes my heart melt and is a certified Jay Tholen banger, genuinely one of my favourite point and click games of all time because of how it made me feel, and I say that as someone who rates Hypnospace Outlaw as one of, if not my favourite game of all time. It's so bouncy, colourful, cute, adorable and is just a wonderful adventure from start to finish. It is a fantastic little open world point and click adventure, where you play as a wholesome but sadly misunderstood clown called Dropsy who just wants to help people, spread joy to others and give out as many hugs as he can along the way with the help of his cute little animal friends. The graphics are wonderfully drawn and animated with bright pastel colours and chunky pixel art, the music is really fun and varied, the strange and interesting world that's weird in all the right ways, the many characters are fun to meet and even more so when you solve their problems. Without a doubt it has that Jay Tholen/Tendershoot magic that made Hypnospace Outlaw so amazing and special even before that game released. I would say it's a con that I often found myself stumped, lost and wandering around a lot in my playthrough, but I can easily chalk that up to me missing the small clues and details and a guide to help me through didn't hurt my experience one bit. I certainly tried to solve as much of the game as I could, but whenever I do get stumped, I always feel dumb whenever I find out the solution was so simple all along, apart from those really complex and multi-faceted puzzles of course. It also has a really memorable story to boot, with a wonderfully animated intro cutscene that shows the backstory of why Dropsy is so unloved by his community at the beginning, where even his dreams are constantly haunting him with memories and visions of his past, the guilt that torments him and reminders of what he lost due to these past events, it's genuinely sad stuff. And to have this game's entire story told without words and still getting these emotional moments out of me makes it quite the special game. But even with all that said and all the sad, tragic and messed up stuff you can find in this journey, it is the main character Dropsy himself that really brings this whole game together into a wonderful, wholesome and adorable point and click hugventure. He doesn't have a single bad bone in his body, he never judges even those who hate him, he is willing to go out of his way to right the wrongs he never caused and wants to bring nothing but joy and happiness to everyone around him, because that's what make him happy. Every problem solved and every hug given makes him smile with such goofy sincerity that it makes me wish I could hug him too. Dropsy is genuinely the kindest, most loving and most wonderful game character I've ever seen in my life and this game handles that in a way that's so genuine, so well done and so impactful that seeing those small details when he draws pictures of his friends that made hanging up in his room, or how he tries to hug a certain character at the end of the game (not spoiling it because of course) shows how powerful Dropsy's love for everything and everyone goes beyond anything any other game character has ever achieved. He alone really brings this game and its strange and out there elements all together into a wholesome whole. I wish I could give him a hug just because it makes him happy, because happiness is what he deserves. Dropsy is a game that made me feel the whimsy, the sadness, the joy, the heartache, the happiness, the feels and most importantly; the love of this silly weirdo clown who just wants to make the world a brighter place in his own little way. 10/10 would hug again

Dropsy started as a choose-your-own-adventure-game on the Something Awful forums. I highly recommend you read through it on the author's site. It's simply amazing, and it shows you the progress of Dropsy, before it was even decided it was to become a game. https://jaytholen.net/dropsy2.html There are no words in this game, all the actions are spelled out with icons and actions. This simplifies things to a degree, but it's also a lot harder. Characters can't just spell out what they mean. Well, they can literally, but they won't be able to just drop subtle hints on how to achieve that goal. Then again, a lot of the stuff is just optional for getting all achievements. There is some moon-logic related to the puzzles, but it's not too bad. Overall it's a cute short fun game. Be aware of the glitchy achievements though. 30/30 achievements.

Dropsy is one of the weirdest, most heartfelt point-and-click adventures I’ve ever played. You control a misunderstood clown who speaks in pictures, hugs everyone he meets, and slowly uncovers a story that’s both surreal and surprisingly emotional. The art is vibrant and unsettling in just the right way, and the soundtrack is an absolute gem. That said—be prepared to do a lot of wandering. The game gives very little direction, and puzzle hints are often vague or completely abstract. Combine that with a fairly large world map and slow movement speed, and it’s easy to find yourself lost, both figuratively and literally. I wanted to solve it all on my own, but I’ll admit: I had to turn to a guide more than once. Still, despite those frustrations, the charm, creativity, and emotional core of Dropsy pulled me through. If you're patient, curious, and not afraid to look up a hint or two, this game might be worth a play for you.

Great game, really recommend to anyone who wants a good old adventure game with very limited interaction... ...but the achievements are buggy and cruel. Had to minimise the screen and restart before most of the achievements popped, and one of them required having the squeaky clown shoe noise on (which if you remember to tick it, takes 2/3rds of the game to achieve). Such a shame too, as the music for this game is a great mix of jazzy numbers. Plot is good; main character is, well, lets just say he's a bit of a super-clown. Anyway, recommend for those loving plots and stories, don't recommend for those who get nervous about achievements not popping!

Too dumb to play without peeking in the walkthrough. Too dumb to follow the walkthrough. A few bugs detected, will restart the game and complete the quests in different order. Dropsy is the best, loved him. Now want a hug. TT
