It's not my cup of tea, but I can see why it has a high Metacritic rating and Steam reviews. Due to its text-free experience, the story mainly uses a "show, don't tell" approach. You may miss something if you don't pay attention to small/implied details or if you only rush the main story. Both the visuals and audio are fairly good. I felt the solutions to some puzzles were nonsensical,although I saw it coming since some parts the game itself felt bizarre. I chose to use a guide after playing for an hour, and I recommend that you do the same unless you're a veteran of point-and-click games. As for the Warm Damp Hug Edition, all the audio files I got are 320 kbps MP3 files with cover images and metadata. I mostly skimmed the "Book of Secrets," but I believe you would enjoy it if you want to dive deeper into the story and lore. P.S. I don't really recommend this game, but I chose "Recommended" because I bothered to finish the main story.
I'm not a fan of point n click games, but I decided to give this game a try, bcz it was on sale for less than a dollar, and honestly it was completely worth it! Dropsy it's a low-paced, "cozy" game I'd say, so take that into consideration. It has no dialog nor text (at least not in a comprehensive language), but still tells a wholesome story with beautiful pixel-artwork and soundtrack. The tasks are simple, yet interesting, and they require looking and searching around different objects that could help the characters, or objects that are related to the backstory of them. I love the message of not judging a book by it's cover, being able to surpass trauma, and the positive resolution of the problems. Sometimes you just need a hug and someone telling you that what you feel is completely valid!
Interesting game, amazing artstyle, although had an issues where the steam achievements wouldn't appear unless I turned the game on and off.
