“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, with clear passion behind it.”
“The characters are charming, the storyline is rich, and the mystery is so fun.”
“I am really enjoying this game, especially as although the basic story-line/premise is the same each time, your choices make the wider story different with each playthrough.”
“You don't get to do any investigation -- the "clues" you find are just achievements that don't affect the story.”
“Instead, it's a dating sim with murder as the plot device, and random choice of the culprit serving as an additional gimmick so that you can never know if you're dating the murderer.”
