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)!
The clown looks like a rejected enemy sprite from doom
I'll wishlist this for now. :)
Vicklemmmoooooosssssss....
Naked pigs, creepy clowns, little children? whats not to love!
Yaaaaay! Dropsy's here!!! *HUGS* *HUGS* *HUGS*

I backed the game on Kickstarter so I should receive it soon-ish. I don't remember how the DRM-free builds were supposed to be distributed, but seeing the game is available here on GOG and not on Humble, chances are my GOG shelf is gonna be expanded pretty soon. :)

"Edema" was already taken as a game name? Because that's what dropsy means.

(The game may be fine, but that name is awful for the kind of game it seems to actually be.)
Regional pricing means a pass for me for now.
It looks interesting though.

While it hasn't shown up on the regular Humble Store page yet, people can, in fact, already pre-order it via Humble.

You'll find the purchase buttons on the left. Buying via Humble grants you both DRM-free and a Steam key.

Cheers
Don't wanna disclose a personal email without need to, but in late january I pre-purchased my Drosy (or should I say GOTY?) and "demanded" (:P) a "gogkey"; later the creator replied:

Thanks Victor! Glad you're pumped for it. And thanks fer telling your friends. Can't waaaaiit for the game to be finished - been working on it a long long time.

9 months later, this hugging baby is born!

So tempting, for the weirdness and uncomfortability factor. Even if the last screenshot does pretty much summarise my first impression. »(٭ɷ٭)«
As creepy clown things go, it looks surprisingly heartwarming. I'm going to put it on the wishlist :)
By the way:
Any word on extras here yet? On Steam it lists a so-called "Dropsy: Warm Damp Hug Edition", including OST, "Book of Secrets" and a music EP. I'd like to know how much that would be priced, but Steam hasn't listed any info yet.

Of course, would be killer if stuff like that was included in the regular GOG release.
