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?

As others have mentioned, it is not really an in-depth mystery novel. I do think the store description explains it well enough. It is more that you may come across your attacker in your playthrough. For my first playthrough, I didn't. Case went cold and that was that. You can save and go back to explore options with others but it may take the fun out of it. With your next playthrough you can choose who your attacker will be, in order to get new story content and gallery unlocks. As for the endings, even though it says there are 50+ of them, its more that you get a choice to say something slightly different but the ending will be the same. I would say the variety of endings is much lower. In regards to the mystery side of things... It is mostly Adrien going through the process of being attacked and waiting for the police to handle things. In the meantime you will take classes and socialise until near the ending where you might get a chance to progress with things. The attacker may reveal themselves and depending on some choices you made previously, you can get saved or get (maybe) killed. There is also a chance to go off into the sunset with your attacker too. Each attacker has a …

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.

This is a tough one. I absolutely love the concept/idea of the game. If it was $5? I'd probably give it a thumbs up. But for $12? It's way too short, and doesn't have much replay value. It also feels like the finale is small in scope (oddly, even more disappointingly small if you're dating the murderer. Like, how often do you get to experience the person you're dating killing you? You'd think there's be more to it than "you turn away, hear a gunshot, and then realize you're shot; fade to black".)

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.

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!
Recommended Jul 10, 2026
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.
