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:

zoranov: Why is Robot Cop from R.O.T.O.R. in screenshot number 7?
You should see if you can find the MST3K crew :P

Leroux: I'm confused, what DLC is there for Dropsy, and which stores sell it?

Wurzelkraft: Dropsy: Warm Damp Hug Edition (artbook, OST, EP) on Steam.
If you wait a bit we should have this in a few as well :)

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:)

Crosmando: So is a real ~adventure game~ with puzzles and inventory or is it a simplistic joke game?
avatar
vulchor: It is definitely a REAL adventure game, playing like an open world non-linear version of a LucasARTS 90s classic like Full Throttle, Day of the Tentacle, or Monkey Island.
Can confirm this. It looks weird and silly on the outside but it's a right proper adventure game :)

BreOl72: From watching the trailer and the screenies, I think, I might have a hard time guessing, what the townsfolk could want from me.

For an adventure, some textual descriptions would have been more appropriate, than some more or less abstract symbols, maybe?

Well, for me, anyway.
avatar
vulchor: No it wouldn't. Trust me. Everything makes sense when you play...eventually. The symbolic text in some cases us part of the puzzle and it is deliberately vague at times but I guarantee that once you start wandering around and interacting with the environment and people, more and more of it makes sense. The idea is that drops cannot speak or completely understand language either.
I wish I knew what the hell to do with the tomato. Nobody seems to want it.

vulchor: I'm surprised no one has put up a walkthrough yet. I haven't completed the game (played through a lot of the beta) because I'm still waiting for GOG to send Jay Tholen some keys for his backers... hint hint.
If he's asked for them, I wouldn't know :) Dropsy is not one of my games :)
