    I wish it had been easier, with a second layer of clues accessible beneath the basic pictograph conversations perhaps. I also wish I’d felt more of a connection with Dropsy himself and I have no doubt that some people will. He’s unfairly maligned and sweet, sure, but I’m far more interested in the barely suggested lives of some of the other characters.

    From the outset, you may be put off by Dropsy. He's a kind of creepy looking clown - but he makes up for that with his innocence. He's one ofFrom the outset, you may be put off by Dropsy. He's a kind of creepy looking clown - but he makes up for that with his innocence. He's one of the only true innocents I've ever encountered in a game.

    The pictographic communication in game takes a little bit of getting used to, and once you've completed a lot of the game, things tend to flatten out.

    But, I'm on my third play-through and still having as much fun as I was on my first.

    Controls: Standard point-n-click adventure.

    Audio: The fantastic Chris Schlarb did an amazing job with the score for this game, sound effects are great.

    Story: Light-hearted and hug filled. But, with some dark moment (seriously... the end of the game caused literal tears).

    C'mon and start your hugventure - you won't regret it.    … Full Review »
