About Drops of Death
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?

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 :]1 found this helpful
Super enjoyable and very replayable, I usually find myself doing multiple playthroughs in a day when I have the spare time. I was genuinely shocked I'd romanced the killer in my first game!
It's a very creative approach to a dating sim and the story has enough twists and turns along each replay. There's tons of endings and different scenarios to play with despite it being a visual novel. Considering what this game has done regarding the mystery and each love interest/possible killer, you can tell story wise this was well thought out. This game's creativity is something that shouldn't be slept on and a nice shake up from the usual dating sim genre.
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.
The art, the twists, the voice acting....I thoroughly enjoyed this game (just finished my 4th playthrough). 9/10.
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.
