Review: Deardrops (PC) Visual Novel

From the first time I touched a piano when I was eight, I've always found the universal language of music to be filled with layers of depth and intrigue. Although I was never an excellent player, I learned to appreciate the time and effort it takes to create and perform masterful compositions. As fans found out after visual novel developer Overdrive's last effort to encapsulate this feeling in a coming-of-age story with Kira Kira, the search for a musically inspired passion for life can make a fantastic story.

The company's latest musical endeavor, Deardrops, had one simple goal in mind: to create a spiritual successor to the aforementioned series. While Deardrops certainly does rekindle some of the magic from Kira Kira, and to a much lesser extent Kira Kira: Curtain Call, Deardrops often hits a flat note and sputters off-key in places where its predecessor excelled. This is largely in terms of pacing and a rather exhausting common route.

March 2, 2012--We at MangaGamer are proud to announce the release of DEARDROPS! news DEARDROPS

“Music you were destined to encounter, with friends you were destined to meet—”
A violinist, entrusted with great hopes for his future, but sealed off from that path.
A lone diva, more devoted to singing than anyone else.
A guitarist, lacking the courage to take the first step towards her ideals.
A bassist, unable to face his past mistakes, but who can’t leave music either.
A drummer, finding it impossible to enjoy performing with others.
Each led by rock ’n roll to meet, confront each other, and form new bonds in this tale about the prime of their lives.

DEARDROPS

“Music you were destined to encounter, with friends you were destined to meet—”

Five different people―each lost at different points in their life’s journey, each heading down different paths, each with their own goals and ideals―find themselves unexpectedly brought together by rock ‘n roll and the world of music. Whether their time together is fleeting or lasting, the crossing of such varied lives is sure to be an unforgettable one that forever changes them.

A tale of youth, fateful encounters, and the prime of life awaits the moment all is set in motion. With the spark of a cast-off cigarette and the opening phrase of a dead rockstar’s legacy, the first chapter of their new lives will ring across the crowded hall.
