Deardrops

Shouichi was known as one of the ‘nobles’ of the violin world. Having started playing the violin when he was 3, he won the national violin competition when he was in middle school and went to Germany to play in orchestras. However, due to unknown reasons, he returned to Japan, gave up playing the violin and became a freeter. One day, he starts working at a live house and meets many other amateur musicians who are living their lives their own way. Together they will have to overcome obstacles in both their personal lives and as a band. To Shouichi, the live house is a new beginning in a new place… a new world which has opened to him when he thought that his future as a musician had closed.

This game is interesting. Overdrive got a big hit in the way of Kira Kira... the problem was that the original game had a very rigid ending.

KK OD was basically a lame spin-off that nobody liked because it was billed as a Kira Kira sequel and yet it had very little of the original cast returning.

This game is basically yet another KK sequel, it exists in the same universe... there is even a mention of the Second Literature Club in a couple of lines.

KK was really good though... it focused on a very short window of time and really made a person get the whole "band experience." The plot lines were very deep as well, some of them heartbreaking. This game takes a step back to the original game, but I'm not sure if it completely succeeds. It still seems a tad superficial to me. I think the disconnect between the main plot and the girls' plot is the problem. In KK, the interactions with the girls was highly integrated into the actions of the band so it felt deeper. In this game the two don't really intersect that much... you could easily replace the band aspect of the game with any social club and it wouldn't make much difference plot-wise.

It's still fun though.

true, it is in the same universe, kirari even show up in riho's route.

indeed, its a bit lacking in romance department compared to kirakira, and sometimes the situation and way to overcame problems is a bit too convenient, but overall this is a really good game. And i like the songs in this game better than kirakira, all the songs was awesome and the violin's seriously kickass that i ended up buying deardrops album.

Anonymous08 Mar 2012Reply

Upon first opening the game, a bunch of pop-ups appeared with Yes and No, I clicked yes on all of them, and the game is running fine, but there isn't any music. *Which I'm assuming there is*

Anonymous08 Mar 2012Reply

...Nevermind, I fixed it.
If you decide to torrent it, *It might be the same with the individual downloads* all you need is part 1.

FIREFOX4708 Mar 2012Reply

I just wanted to say because I feel like it can never be said enough but thank you admin for all the great work you do for us and for all the time and effort you take to help everyone and to keep them happy. I can safely say that if it were not for this site I would not like eroge as much as I do because it is just too expensive compared to regular porn so thank you. Also some of the games have a pretty good storyline such as muv-luv.

anon08 Mar 2012Reply

I've tried everything, but my game crashes every time right after the part where

[SPOILER] they choose the band name and Shoichi says "Why don't we see this through and find out?" [/SPOILER]

I've tried re-extracting, re-downloading both mediafire and torrent links, nothing I try is working! Did anybody else have this problem? T_T Any suggestions?

HppyNSlvry08 Mar 2012Reply

I've had the same problem with a couple other games, and it turned out that a video codec pack I had installed was messing with in game video somehow. I unistalled the codec pack and presto!

garret09 Mar 2012Reply

serious man? cool, can I ask what codec you uninstalled that was causing problems?

Disky14 Mar 2012Reply

In case you still haven't found a suitable codec pack, and of course in future reference to everyone else having this problem, try CCCP codec pack.

It's quite popular and I've never heard of anyone having problems with it. Well, not ones caused by the codec anyhow - just don't play with the settings too much unless you know what you're doing.

GabO!!!13 Mar 2012Reply

Dude, is that the part where they we're talking about their band's name?

Try shark007 codes :D

Dan16 Mar 2012Reply

That's right where the OP video starts, so it is probably the something to do with the video, either a codec pack like HppyNSlvry said, or your graphics card driver. Try updating both.
Also, anyone who hasn't yet should check out the new site:
http://erogegames.com
It's an eroge forum run by this site's admin and it's pretty good. You can probably find help more easily at a forum than in comments.

MIdAS30 Mar 2012Reply

Try running the game fullscreen with the "keep aspect ratio" option checked, it's probably to do with video stretching.

Tofu08 Mar 2012Reply

Has the game been english translated?

silv14 Mar 2012Reply

no, the game is in Hebrew.

Seven Points On Ten23 Mar 2012Reply

Don't be a snide jackass. His/her question is valid - is this the MangaGamer release or a fanslated version of the game?

CJ Prophet26 Mar 2012Reply

Admin doesn't upload a game here unless it's 100% translated, for future reference, at least thats what he says and I have never seen anything that would say otherwise.

Nsap08 Mar 2012Reply

Sorry if this is the worng place to ask this, but somebody know where i can get the ost of this game?

xciter09 Mar 2012Reply

There really isn't an ost yet. But there are albums and they are:

1. Straight
2. My Dear Stardust
3. Last Waltz

They're all easily obtainable through searching google.

stuff19 Mar 2012Reply

Also, note that while Straight and My Dear Stardust have some of the same songs, they sound a little different...except for maybe 2 or 3 of them that are exactly the same.

AnonX012009 Mar 2012Reply

admin lover09 Mar 2012Reply

OG OMG OMG, TYVM finally a torrent link, so much easier. than you admin!

Zanna09 Mar 2012Reply

Hmmm I'm guessing as it's an Overdrive game that one of the girls has a major depressing story? As long as she still gets a happy end though.

kurochan10 Mar 2012Reply

Finished Riho's route, it's great but I was hoping for more for the ending... I guess the fandisk is a sequel for Riho's ending?

bk20110 Mar 2012Reply

yep, it's the continuation of riho's route and kirari's true route of kirakira.
Just finished playing it, it's really good and it brings more closure to the story for those who left kinda unsatisfied with riho's ending (i'm one of them).
It's still untranslated though.

kurochan13 Mar 2012Reply

Let's just hope mangagamer will pick it up.

Kaverin Ebonhands10 Mar 2012Reply

Riho's is the canonical ending.
Kanade's is also pretty good but Yayoi and Rimu are pretty short and shallow by comparison.
Riho's route has Cameos of Souta Honda and Kirari

O_O ) wowowwowow10 Mar 2012Reply

nice nice loved the game but story line is way to similar to beck mongolian chop squad no complaints though it was fun =)

Whoa11 Mar 2012Reply

pretty good game. Kirakira + Deardrops aren't by any means the best visual novels out there imo, but they're always very enjoyable and the music is actually quite good.

I'd give Kirakira + Curtain Call an 8.5 out of 10...
and Deardrops a... 7.8 out of 10.

And Riho sex scenes were pretty damn hot.

Domino11 Mar 2012Reply

Amazing game, longer than the usual novel game and with way less hentai scenes, but the story was way so good!

I'm having trouble downloading part 2 from mediafire. When I click the download button, the usual pop-up for me to save the file doesn't show up. I've been retrying for the past hour or so and I was wondering if this thing is normal now because of the high traffic?.. o.o
