UncategorizedA Messed-Up Game Where You Play A Disturbing Clown
I’m not the type of person who is terrified by clowns. But Dropsy the clown…Dropsy is another matter entirely. There’s just something unsettling about this adventure game. It’s hard to put a finger on it. Maybe it’s the way Dropsy hugs everything, living or not—and the animation highlights his buttcrack. Or maybe it’s just…his entire…face?…
