Let me start this at, this game was made by Jay Tholen ... a guy that was into music , he wanted to make a career in the music industry ... did i mention he is well talented ... back in 2010 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jaytholen/jay-tholen-to-record-sermon-his-first-studio-lp?ref=users (see his video) He made a kickstart thing ...to beg people for money, to get his career up and running ... it did not worked like he hoped it will ... people did not wanted his music but that game ...

Then RocketBirds flash demo came... a game by Ratloop ...that helped kick start a music career of New World Revolution ... vids came that promoted more music ... more and more ... so many people tough this game was only a flash demo for this music group ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcRKzDRVAas a PR thing (here is the TV original that was on MTV and even Viva https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9cKLmDaGxU)

But when this game came , people where blown away ... great rock music that you want to buy ... and a great game

Here comes Jay Tholen back in the picture again , why not do the same ...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=It72E3EbJNk and more and more ....the same PR... and his idea from 2008 came to life ... introducing Dropsy

and we get a surreal incoherent adventure about ...What if : Superman would be dumb and was raised by a Circus ... his adventures of his animal friends (dog , mouse , bird) and how he in the end became a king ... and will be chased by MiB

So what made you quit this game ... backtracking (i know later he gets a car and you dont have to walk and use the map) and time of day mechanics ... it was nice , interesting ... but its too open , and the player is just lost with no clue where to progress (or how to progress) ... mix that every scene is different depending time of day and you game a total "WTF" experience of "i am fucking lost"

ps. i ended when he got the car and all of his animal friends
