Dropsy

Bizarre, funny, endearing, unsettling. Awesome music. Some of the puzzles are obtuse, but that's par for the course on point & clicks. Looks much better in motion if the pixel art puts you off.

This has been called creepy, surreal, emotional, maybe even charming and yes it has moments of all of these. While it has all of those none of them actually encompass it but 2 of them sure try. I think "vibrant" certainly encompasses it. As far as gameplay mechanics: it's a bit like chu-lip if they decided to go for a more classic adventure style and didn't have all that teeth kicking (some puzzles REQUIRED you to take damage for one). You also get an adorable party that you can switch to playing as.

I like this game for its fine low-res pixel art and the psychedelic atmosphere. Also the concept of the not voiced communication is quite original.A nice game, but surely not for everyone.Fingers crossed for the next projects of the authors.

If you look at it, it's basically an old-school point and click adventure. It plays like a game from the 1980s, without spoken dialogue and in 640x480 pixels. But the missing dialogue is one of the strong selling point: There's only speech- and thought bubbles with emotions. Somehow this intensifies the whole experience, because you get used to interpreting the events on screen with emotions only. After two oder three hours of gameplay I stopped "thinking words" when encountering other characters. As it is, it's a sweet little game. And I think "sweet" is what describes it best. The story is very confusing at first, but after a while you sorta get what happened. The story of the innocent, mentally challenged clown that is hated by the whole town is incredibly touching (I'm looking at you, graveyard scene!) Controls are nice and easy, nothing special. Only bug I encountered was with switching back and forth between windows (breaks the game). Unfortunately, the ending is really weak and REALLY corny, therefore -1 star. (Honestly, the ending is the definition of corny-ness. Ugh!)
