Drops of Death

I can solve a murder case AND romance the killer? 10/10 It's still criminal that I cant romance my psychologist

really fun! spotting the subtle differences in how the characters act if they're the culprit vs if they're innocent is interesting, though I wish there were /more/ differences to spot. the story is well executed and enjoyable and I liked the background music a lot :]

Not being able to date Kim should be a crime but otherwise I love it!

[h1]ミステリとしても恋愛シミュとしても面白い[/h1] 大学で起きた殺人事件の目撃者になり、殺人鬼の影に怯えながら1週間を過ごす…という設定自体は決して特異なものではありません。 しかし、被害者(主人公)の心理描写が細かく、いまだ捕まっていない犯人に狙われている状態で大学生活を過ごすことの恐ろしさをリアルに感じることができます。 また、[b]殺人事件の犯人が攻略対象の４人の中からランダムで決定される[/b]のが本作の面白いところ。 不安な日々を過ごす中で、一緒に時間を過ごしてくれるデート相手は非常に心強く、二人の距離も急接近…と思いきや、意中の相手こそがあなたを殺そうとした張本人かもしれません。 日本語対応していませんが、使われている単語や言い回しはそれほど難しくないので日本語話者でもPCOT片手に難なく読み進めることができます。

My first time playing a visual novel and it is very fun! I already completed one path and I look forward to trying again. I appreciate being able to skip through dialogue at my own pace because I read quickly and I've been frustrated by games in the past that don't let me move at my pace. The art is particularly great!

Unique experience! The randomized killer select is a really fun mechanic and I think all the scenarios played out quite well. My first run I decided to go for Edwin...only to find out he was the killer. WELP! I made myself a chart to track all the unique endings. The game is small but for the price and diverse options it makes sense. I like how Adrien has customizable pronouns and forms, and the cast is varied in fun ways! I especially liked how their motivations for being the killer differ in ways that make sense. The partial voice acting is very fun, and the CGs are mostly nice, however the gallery is a bit of a mess. All the separate CGs of Adrien lying down could be condenced to one gallery section with alts you click on (like with the multi-gender CGs or all of Natasha's kiss scenes). In addition, the art is a little inconsistant. I think the spirtes are done very well, and some of the CGs are veeery pretty (like Edwin's yandere smile, or Nick's kiss scene), but some are a little off? I noticed it especially with Nick Singh, who has a cute sprite but a wonky blocky face in some of his CGs. That's super minor though. Something else to note is that the skip button glitches a little at certain points which was a little annoying but not game-breaking. Overall I found 57 endings. Drops of Death is a unique experience which, although short, has a fun varied cast, interesting storytelling, and a unique dynamic for each innocent vs killer relationship that transcends the romance genre, and clear passion behind it. It's not perfect, and you could get tired of trying to find all the new stuff in such short segments, but I think if you give it a chance you'll have a good time.

Edwin可爱捏！ KIM医生你还能再可疑一点吗（居然不是隐藏boss，失望。大家的犯罪动机过于牵强，这背后没有一个善于操纵人心的邪恶心理医生这合理吗？） 官方给Edwin的人设是“善妒”，我玩完他的线还在想也没有很明显啊，善妒在哪里？——直到我玩了别人的线。笑死了怎么哪都有你啊！

推荐没啥好玩的时候可以玩，如果是为了悬疑探案来玩的话我建议还是咬咬牙买逆转裁判吧（） steam没有中评的选项我只能好评。总体而言是披着“查案”外表的恋爱小说。 只大概玩了两周目。一周目的时候电脑会在可攻略对象中随机选取一位作为本轮的凶手，玩家开头有25%的概率抽取到神秘男/女嘉宾，就看脸黑不黑和系统有没有读取到你的XP故意选择你的心动对象了（x）。 在推进剧情中会收集到evidence，然后这些evidence并没有实际作用，你也没有办法进行真正的调查。基本上就是推剧情看到最后就知道谁是凶手，然后读档（推荐在每一轮的最开始存个档）重来和别的对象谈恋爱。 但是比较奇葩的一点就是，有两位主角是[spoiler] 侦探 [/spoiler]并非警察，乍一看还以为穿进什么烂俗侦探小说了。设定正如很多英文评论所说，非常不严谨。杀人动机也是，人命仿佛如儿戏。杀人犯杀人的情感动机都不如柯南里面凶手跪地认错时候那般激烈。 里面的遣词造句都很易懂，没有什么生僻词，高中英语学的不错的话就能玩懂。 [spoiler] 里面唯一人设比较有意思的是Edwin，比较重男 [/spoiler]，不论是guilty还是innocent线。其他角色对我来说比较无感。

I really wanted to like this game, but the writing is too rough for me to recommend it. Both the romance and murder plotlines have very little depth, and the climax/endings are rushed. Characters often act in ways no reasonable person would to a degree that takes me out of the story. The art is good but a visual novel lives and dies by its writing. Great concept, mediocre execution.
