I've been playing Dropsy The Clown and I kind of hate it.
You're just chucked into this huge sprawling map with no objective, no feedback on actions, everything is done via pictograms which half the time are indecipherable. I just solved my first puzzle because a dog told me to put a sock on a grave so I did then the dog told me to go back to the circus, so I guess that's progress somehow?
As far as I can tell, people like it because hugging. It's the game equivalent of a cat photo.
I'm giving up on it already - I feel like I'd have to physically draw a map of the entire game and what each character wants (or what I think that blob of pixels is trying to tell me that they want) in order to get anywhere with it. And it's got a four-stage day-night cycle that apparently changes stuff in each location, but with no clues as to what changes and only a couple of rooms with beds that actually let you push the cycle forward. So I'd have to map all that out as well.
