GAMETECH: Embrace the love of Dropsy

SOMEBODY finally made a game about love. Not the stereotypical, boy-meets-girl kind of love that we’ve become so accustomed to digesting. This is not a game about devotion, or loyalty, or dutiful partnership.

No, Dropsy is a game about kindness to others, even in the face of revilement. It’s about knowing we’re all in this strange, difficult world together, and how sometimes a hug can make all the difference.

Dropsy is a clown who lives on the outskirts of town with his father. His mother has died in a circus fire and poor old Dropsy still has nightmares about it. The townspeople people don’t like him — in fact, they wrongly suspect he had something to do with the fire.
