unlabelledView post →Yes, Dropsy looks like a completely weird game you wouldn't want to play. Yes, it's only 99 cents right now. Yes, it's really a great game well worth that asking price! It's not cynical. It's not violent. It's not conventional in any way. But it is a one of a kind game you'll never forget!
unlabelledView post →oh my gosh Dropsy is gonna be 10 this year. the game not the being.
unlabelledView post →here's a game I was working on between 2004 and 2006 in Multimedia Fusion. thanks to an unsolvable (for me at the time) EDRT error I had to quit development. some cool trivia though: Dropsy was originally a boss for this game.
unlabelledView post →One of the dumbest decisions I made as a mod was not letting Jay promo his game Dropsy in GBS. A "letter > spirit" decision that was a disservice to him & the community. Jay & team went on to make one of my all time favorite games, Hypnospace Outlaw, whetere you play as a mod/detective.
unlabelledView post →Video Game - Dropsy ( 2015 ) Started 1/18/2025 - Now this...Is what a point and click should feel like
unlabelledView post →Learning that Hypnospace Outlaw was written by a weird centrist who believes in redeeming villains above all narrative explained so much about that game. I'd say that tricking a bunch of nostalgic gays into uncritically being cops was clever subversion, except the Dropsy guy isn't that clever.

unlabelledView post →Is Dropsy a wholesome game about spreading love or is it actually a terrifying social anxiety simulator? 🤡 @bvigeant.bsky.social and I have all the answers in the latest Quest Quest! Listen to the full episode here (or wherever): zencastr.com/z/oI1c7F9C
unlabelledView post →Today on Quest Quest the adventure game podcast @decafjedi.com and I are talking DROPSY a personal favorite, about a weird clown that just wants to make people happy on an island with many Big Secrets. Give 'er a listen! Here or where ever: zencastr.com/z/oI1c7F9C
unlabelledView post →Play Dropsy!! The soundtrack for this game is in my regular rotation. Weird, wonderful, surprisingly wholesome.
unlabelledView post →These new Beatles and Alice In Chains repressings are good, but can we get a new run of the Dropsy original video game soundtrack on vinyl? @jaytholen.net
unlabelledView post →The point & click Dropsy comes to mind. You play an ugly clown that tries to help everyone smile despite everyone blaming him for his own mother's death. It's a whole game about being unilateraly kind to your neighbor.
unlabelledView post →The game needs a hug button like Dropsy has.
unlabelledView post →fiancee saw me playing Dropsy and was like "oh that game has such gorgeous art" and when i told her it was about a sweet clown boy who just wants to make people happy she said "clown propaganda" with disdain
unlabelledView post →Dropsy is an amazing game everyone should play. It is a steal at 99 cents. It's a wordless adventure game with a lot of heart and a sweet story (despite its dark inciting incident!) Don't be put off by first appearances - it's definitely worth experiencing!

unlabelledView post →Today, we're playing a game gifted to me for Christmas last year! It's Dropsy, a point and click hugventure! I... don't know much, but I'm curious! twitch.tv/greenpowerstar
unlabelledView post →I listened to a lot of it while making Dropsy and for my new game it's even more thematically appropriate.
unlabelledView post →I thought I recognised your name, and yes I remember playing Dropsy on my PC - a rare occurrence! Finished it too! I'm making my 5th or something point and click game. Unoriginal in design but to actually make a great point and click game is the objective..
unlabelledView post →You can get Dropsy for less than fifty cents right now, well worth it. www.gog.com/en/game/dropsy Dropsy is an adventure game in the style of Monkey Island, but the game's puzzle are more about morality and Christian notions of grace. If you've ever read Kierkegaard and liked his stuff, get this.
unlabelledView post →360. Dropsy While it looks like it's secretly a horror game, Dropsy is actually one of the sweetest games I've ever played. It's a dialog free point & click game all about being nice and finding acceptance. It can get difficult (I used a guide in the last stretch) but it's just charming. #365Games
unlabelledView post →Dropsy very good game
unlabelledView post →@jaytholen.net oh man you made Dropsy? I absolutely loved that game Thank you so much for the innocent happy nightmare clown
unlabelledView post →Ahhhh shit, the Dropsy soundtrack is still God Tier. If you've not played Dropsy, or listened to its soundtrack, you should do both things. schlarb.bandcamp.com/album/dropsy...
unlabelledView post →I feel like I could make the argument for the textless adventure game Dropsy being a book game, but like a picture book that teaches kids about compassion.
unlabelledView post →Jay Tholen, lead dev behind Dropsy, Hypnospace Outlaw, and Slayers X, is in need of support for his game Dreamsettler! Dude is constantly making some of the most unique indie games out there, so please consider supporting him on Patreon (when it drops)!
unlabelledView post →Finally, I've now downloaded the following: • OG Fallout • Deus Ex: Game of the Year • Dropsy • Planescape: Torment, Enhanced Edition • DuckTales Remastered • I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream • OG Half-Life (only ever played 2).
unlabelledView post →18. Dropsy. I love Dropsy, I will never shut up about Dropsy. If Dropsy has no fans then I am dead. This game broke my HEART.
unlabelledView post →another one: Dropsy (2015)! i had a wonderful time with this game and i picked it back up after first playing a chunk of it back in 2024. it did take me a bit of time to remember what the hell was going on, but once i got back in the groove of things i wondered why i left tbh
unlabelledView post →Dropsy is the game I've gifted the most people. I think the world would be a better place if we all played through Dropsy.
unlabelledView post →45: Dropsy Got nothing romantic for Valentines. So instead, here's the cute game about a weird looking clown whose whole purpose is to make everyone happy and only asks for a hug as repayment.
unlabelledView post →Dropsy is the only one that comes to mind but thats probably mostly because I love that God damn game so fucking much
unlabelledView post →Ohhhh, Dropsy is a beautiful game. Hope you really love its deeper meaning and ending when you go back to it!
unlabelledView post →Marble It Up is great pure 3D platforming Hexcells Infinite is a good puzzle game for playing while listening to podcasts etc Thimbleweed Park and Dropsy are two great point & clicks of the last decade Arcade Paradise - turn a laundromat into an arcade Rez Infinite and Thumper just for vibes
unlabelledView post →@jaytholen.net I don't know why I didn't say this sooner but Dropsy is one of my favorite games. I love this gosh darn game thank you for making it.
unlabelledView post →“You actually cried playing a video game?” The game: Dropsy my beloved little guy
unlabelledView post →Game recommendation: Dropsy, a Point & Click Hugventure. There's an option to turn on the squeaky shoe sound effect.
unlabelledView post →Evening all! I'm live on #Twitch playing the @devolverdigital.bsky.social game Dropsy, trying to get everyone to give the titular clown a hug. hehe titular Who wants a hug? twitch.tv/mrtomftw 🫂
unlabelledView post →store.steampowered.com/app/3396560/... Playing this right now and uh it's like the game you'd think Dropsy is based on how Dropsy looks Perfect Score 10/10
unlabelledView post →haha, Dropsy was much more "game overworld with 5 disparate biomes smushed together on an island" than this one, tho it did also have trailer homes etc.
unlabelledView post →I used to more actively seek out color vinyl, starting with the limited run of the Dropsy the Clown ost. So it ends up being a mix of video game soundtracks and stuff like ELO's Time on clear vinyl
unlabelledView post →I feel yah man, at one point in time we completely remastered our game ROOT and pushed it out as a free update Several thousand hours of work for basically zero money But that kind of stuff does show and people do appreciate it Dropsy is dope and still one of our favorite point and click games!
unlabelledView post →Oh my god, I remember Dropsy from wayyyyy back on SomethingAwful. I FORGOT THERE WAS A REAL ASS GAME.
unlabelledView post →I had to look up what the game was called, didn't know Dropsy meant something formerly! I mean, I have this game in my Steam library and finished it a long time but couldn't remember what it was called!
unlabelledView post →It made me feel genuine emotions with the stuff you learned after the big time jump which I would have never expected, but maybe should have because I had played Dropsy previously and that was a big feelings game.
unlabelledView post →Come now, Dropsy is a pretty violent game all things considered.
unlabelledView post →Big recommend on Dropsy if you have any interest in adventure games. It's particularly ambient, surreal, and emotional. Really cool game.
unlabelledView post →Here's the origin story of Dropsy the Clown, which started on the SomethingAwful forums way back when as a choose your own adventure-style comic and game with actions suggested by the SA goons.
unlabelledView post →6. Most underrated OST: Dropsy, no question. Not enough people know about this wonderful game or its incredible soundtrack. I am really fortunate to own this OST on vinyl; the composer literally sold me one of his last copies of it bc I was so vocal about this game lol! youtu.be/hHaHI5C0zqU?...
unlabelledView post →Ahh Jay Tholen. I remember receiving a reply from him when I was playing Save Me Mr. Tako when I took a screenshot of Dropsy. He replied to a person that didn't know what the game I was playing.
unlabelledView post →startin a new game called DROPSY that previously haunted me cuz i thought i had it but i didn't. now i do so we're gonna be a lil clown!! www.twitch.tv/cloudandroid
unlabelledView post →The closest game I can think of that approaches a broken reality with a rejection of cynicism is weirdly Dropsy. Obviously wildly different games, but both come from a sincere love of humanity.
unlabelledView post →I'd like to see an RPG from you! Either Dropsy or an official Squisherz game!
unlabelledView post →Dropsy is a point and click adventure game with a few twists Highly recommend playing it 🤡

unlabelledView post →8. Dropsy This is a game I've been meaning to play for a LONG time. I love Jay Tholen's other games as well.
unlabelledView post →Dropsy www.devolverdigital.com/games/dropsy A point-and-click adventure game where you play a strange clown who is blamed for a fatal accidental fire at a carnival, and you go around making people's lives better and building trust back with the community. Not too much moon logic. Hug things!
unlabelledView post →It's from a game called Dropsy, one of the best point and click adventure games of modern times, in my opinion.
unlabelledView post →I just played this game again before diving into Slayers X. Such a gem! Dropsy, HypnoSpace and Slayers X directed by one dude! That's a ridiculous amount of quality from him and his team.
