A Point & Click Hugventure.

Remember how adventure games used to be super-weird back in the day? Welll... Here's <span class="bold">Dropsy</span>, available on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux -- DRM-free on GOG.com with a 10% discount.

Dropsy used to be a beloved circus clown, bringing joy to his little town alongside his Ma' and Pop. His unfortunate appearance and inability to communicate obscured by the happiness, spirit of joy, and entertainment he brought upon the world - but when a fire causes Dropsy to lose his mother, his livelihood, and the life he's always known - he's left getting-by in a decrepit circus-tent, caring for his sickly father. Still, unfazed, Dropsy does what he can to share his positive outlook on life with everyone. Literally everyone..
Dropsy's objective is to... hug. Hug 'em all. But when you're a hulking, scary-looking clown, people can take a while to warm up to the idea - they also run super fast. But there's a chance: the folk you encounter around town will all have a very particular need, communicated through visual thought bubbles that breach all language barriers. You'll traverse the city looking for the right solution, never obscure or too confounding, and win the hearts and love of the people. Dropsy's classic art style, playful music and love-filled message provide a stark contrast to his face. His awful, awful face.

The <span class="bold">Dropsy: Warm Damp Hug</span> is coming for you as well! A package full of hugs, and music - including the OST and Eternal Hug EP by Jay Tholen, in both FLAC and MP3 - and Dropsy's Book of Secrets. All at the same 10% discount.

Clown around in <span class="bold">Dropsy</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com. The launch discount will last for one week, until Thursday, September 17.

Stream watch:

Want to see the creepy clown live? MegapiemanPHD will be playing it live on our channel. Tune in to Twitch.tv/GOGcom tomorrow (Friday, September 11th) starting at 4pm GMT (or 6pm CESt, 12pm EDT, and 9am PDT in some other time zones)!
I really love the aesthetic of this one
artsy, quirky, art and good colors

Leroux: I'm confused, what DLC is there for Dropsy, and which stores sell it?
Dropsy: Warm Damp Hug Edition (artbook, OST, EP) on Steam.

You should see if you can find the MST3K crew :P

Ah, you mean the extras, Collector's Edition stuff. That's not what I usually think of when I read DLC, but yeah, it's unfortunate that it isn't available here. :/

I assumed it could be bought as a separate edition or as an upgrade (DLC) on GOG. Not having either is bad. :(

A mashup! So Dropsy escaped from "Here Comes The Circus", then.
Another horror game... oh, wait! :-)

Cam-Bot was obviously the one taking the screenshots. People always forget Cam-Bot.

The pixel art is well done, but creepy fat clowns are pretty low on my list of preferred player characters.

The idea of "hugging total strangers" doesn't help to make things any less creepy. :P

Fairfox: Good stuff! I'm-a waiting. I hope the OST comes in flac format but won't hold my breath, though; a lot of games don't, so that if you want it you have to buy it on, say, Bandcamp. It'd be a nice surprise, though.
Looking at the goodies now I see TWO soundtracks with FLAC so get ready:)
So I'm not the only one who instantly made the connection to John Wayne Gacy. I might have missed it but doesn't anyone think the name is very closed to Cropsey?

I'm quite sure neither are coincidences and wonder if the gameplay alludes to any other serial child killers.

OK it's live now :)

Gah, you're right! I should have spotted the Cropsey similarity myself. Great documentary, as is the follow-up Killer Legends, which goes directly after the "killer clown" legend among others.

It doesn't help that in the release post screenshot GOG chose that he looks like an amoeba engulfing his prey. p_O
