Dropsy

Dropsy is a single-player point-and-click adventure game. The story follows a clown named Dropsy, who lives on the margins of society after a tragic circus fire leaves him both physically scarred and publicly distrusted. Despite his unsettling appearance, Dropsy seeks to make friends, solve problems for strangers, and restore his reputation in a world that greets him with suspicion. The player guides him through a surreal landscape filled with dream sequences, symbolic imagery, and character-driven encounters, where his main objective is to spread kindness and uncover personal truths.

Gameplay uses traditional adventure mechanics, though streamlined for accessibility. Instead of text-based commands, the interface relies on icon-driven interactions. The player clicks on objects and characters to trigger actions like looking, touching, or speaking. Puzzle-solving is at the heart of progression, requiring players to interpret clues from the environment and experiment with combinations of items to advance the story. Some solutions are unconventional, reflecting the game’s surreal tone.
