Hey Poor Player's Jonathan Trussler writes - "Dropsy is a classic 2D styled point n’ click adventure reminiscent of the many classic 90s Lucasarts titles. However, Dropsy is far more narratively ambitious than any of them. Dropsy’s creative visionary, Jay Tholen, is an experimental artist and musician. Now, with the help of his successful kickstarter and publisher Devolver Digital, his vision is coming to life. Tholen stated in an interview with PC Gamer that “Loving the unlovable is one of the game’s most prominent themes”. Tholen’s mission is to make us learn to love Dropsy: a mute clown with no hands, glowing pupil-less eyes and a mouth full of misshapen, yellowed teeth."
Justin from NoobFeed writes - These 10 indies are some of the strangest ones you’ll find, ranging from the ordinarily strange to the extremely strange.
Past Dropsy’s surreal presentation and wordless gameplay lies a positively moving experience that will likely get to you.
WTMG's Oliver Shellding: "Overall, in spite of needing to retrain my brain on how to interact with the world (it’s easier to travel without also carrying around a mouse and a dongle), Dropsy was a pleasant, interesting, if somewhat short adventure. It had heart, it had some truly gross moments, it had a horrifying cold open, and it was charming, however you can interpret that. For point-and-click enthusiasts, this is a title that should definitely be added to your library, owing to the fact that you can bang it out in an afternoon. For the rest, consider where you want to put your time and efforts, but know that an unreasonably large clown is there, smiling, ready to give you a big, damp hug."
Could that clown be ANY creepier?
He twerks his powdered clown rump. It's the most beautifully horrifying thing you'll ever see.
