Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Aug 7 → 0.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Drops of Death is a murder mystery visual novel where the killer is randomly chosen at the start of the game.
Featuring four dateable characters, this romantic story has a deadly twist: you may unknowingly fall in love with the killer. Not all love is innocent, and it’s up to you to decide if you can look past their actions or bring them to justice.
Drops of Death is a killer dating sim not for the faint of heart.
Adrien is a college student trying to destress from classes by going to the school’s pool. What should’ve been a relaxing nightly swim quickly turns into a bloody nightmare when a hooded killer emerges. Adrien barely manages to escape the killer’s clutches. Traumatized and with the case ongoing, Adrien can’t help but feel the killer is watching them, waiting to finish what they started.
Choose your pronouns, with the option to choose between two different appearances for Adrien.

Edwin is Adrien’s best friend and a fellow marketing major, who is part of an active campus fraternity. He can be very protective of Adrien’s well-being and has walked them home to ensure their safety a number of times. However, Edwin has shown extreme bouts of jealousy when Adrien displays the slightest interest in others.
Would a best friend really go to such lengths to "protect" someone they hold so dear?
Fawn is an energetic and knowledgeable detective who runs her own true crime blog called Fawning for Crime. Though she can be annoying (especially to Detective Singh), she loves talking about a killer’s motive and unsolved cases. Some may say her passion for crime is a bit…unhinged.
Could this cute and bubbly true crime lover really be capable of murder?
Natasha is a quiet college student who was on the school’s swim team until she was advised to leave for unknown reasons. The experience she had with her teammates wasn’t pleasant and led to her being distant and at arm's length with others—except her older brother, Anton.
Can grudges with old teammates be strong enough to kill?
Nick Singh is a young homicide detective in charge of leading the murder investigation. Growing up he always wanted to be a detective, and eventually he started his career in his hometown, but was relocated to this smaller suburb. Up until now, he’s been forced to do paperwork and small, uninteresting cases.
Would a man who vowed to protect others really commit such a horrendous crime?

Gotta give it to a game that can somehow give me the sweet rom-com of my dreams, and my partner the toxic murder husbandship of his dreams, all in the space of two playthroughs with both of us romancing the same damn character.
Neste jogo você tem a opção de jogar com Adrian (versão masculina, feminina e gênero neutro), Adrian é testemunha de um assassinato na faculdade e o enredo da história se desenrola a partir desse fato. O jogador tem 4 opções de romance, sendo que essas opções também podem ser os assassinos na história. Eu completei uma rota até agora, acho que foi um tempo razoável (mais ou menos 5 horas de gameplay). O jogo propõe muitos finais e me deixou curiosa para jogar o máximo que eu conseguir. Eu tenho alguns apontamentos, gostaria que as evidências fossem melhores utilizadas e que o caso de assassinato na faculdade fosse tratado de uma maneira mais séria pelos professores e alunos, acho que faria mas sentido para mim. Mas o jogo é intrigante e eu gostei muito da proposta. In this game, you have the option to play as Adrian (male, female, or gender-neutral). Adrian witnesses a murder at the college, and the story unfolds from there. The player has four romance options, and these options can also be the killers in the story. I've completed one route so far, which I think took a reasonable amount of time (about 5 hours of gameplay). The game offers many endings and has me curious to play as much as I can. I have a few points: I wish the evidence had been better utilized and the college murder case had been treated more seriously by the faculty and students. I think that would have made more sense to me. But the game is intriguing, and I really liked the idea.

Started, my first playthrough ended up romancing the killer and ignoring every red flag possible still didn't care cause he was hot he killed me but he was hot so it was worth it All jokes aside, i love the game, played 2 different playthrough and i love the randomness of choosing the killer and how the MC relationship with everyone evolves. i absolutely recomend it.
Думаю, что, пройдя игру на все пути почти у каждого персонажа, я имею право написать обзор на этот шедевр. Визуальная новелла мне очень понравилась. Механика со случайным убийцей среди фаворитов держит в напряжении до самого конца и заставляет гадать, а уверен ли ты, что он/она не убьет тебя в конце. При повторном прохождении ты начинаешь замечать некоторые сигналы, которые ты упустил из виду во время игры. Визуальный стиль мне тоже понравился, некоторые локации и арты (особенно по дарк пути) выглядят очень атмосферно, но это касается не всех артов. Единственный минус - это как раз некоторые арты. Создается ощущение, что они не доработаны или сделаны на скорую руку. Но это единичные случаи. В большинстве своем арты сделаны очень красиво. Рекомендую эту игру, если Вам в целом нравятся визуальные новеллы и Вы хотите получить новый опыт. Особенно если Вам по душе Dark Romance ;) Ник навсегда останется в сердечке (и его пуля тоже). Удачи разработчикам со следующей игрой! Надеюсь, она тоже будет в похожем жанре.
