Dropsy

Dropsy is a point-and-click adventure about a clown seeking redemption after a deadly circus fire destroys his world and tarnishes his name. With his father gravely ill and the world turning against him, Dropsy travels through an open world, helping people in need, hugging strangers and uncovering dark secrets. He can also talk to animals.

An open-ended journey

You choose which parts of the world and story to explore, and piece together puzzles and story details at your own pace. Dropsy’s winding journey explores love and unmerited kindness, with colorful characters and sinister secrets along the way.

Puzzles and communication

Challenging puzzles and complex conundrums stand between Dropsy and the truth about his past. You can solve them through clever thinking, hugs and help from his animal friends as Dropsy works to overcome evil and win the people’s hearts. The game replaces text-based dialogue trees with visual icons for communicating with its bizarre, colorful cast.

Music and locations

The soundtrack gives each area its own character, from gentle electric piano and saxophone in the starting area, to space-echo-drenched dub reggae in a vampire-hunting swamp village, and bombastic, fuzzed-out quasi-prog rock in the endgame sequences. Chris Schlarb and his band of minstrels perform the music.
