Dropsy is a bit of an oddball game, so I wouldn’t bet on it having wide appeal, but those who love it will really love it. It’s a point-and-click title without written hints, making it inherently challenging, but because the quests involve helping people, solving puzzles feels that much more rewarding. It’s such a heartwarming game, it’s easy to forget that the protagonist is an accidentally murderous clown.
