Drops of Death, a Randomized Murder Mystery
Drops of Death is our latest dating sim visual novel and is a bit different than our previous projects... for one, a lot of the scenes are randomized!
The premise of Drops of Death is that you're a college student who ends up being the witness— and almost victim— to a murder on campus. The next few days you try to get back to your regular life while avoiding the killer who's still on the loose. However, at the start of every new game, the killer is randomly picked from one of the love interests! Every playthrough is different, with scene changes and motivations changing depending on who the killer is and who you pursue.
Who can you trust when anyone you can date could be the killer? With Drops of Death we wanted to give players a unique murder mystery experience. While the game isn't focused on solving the mystery, there's still a fair amount of discussion on the case with new clues being found depending on who the killer is.
The full game will allow players to pick who they want the killer to be after playing the game once, or they can play it again randomly. This will let players experience the other plotlines as well as avoid the killer (or go straight to them)!
