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.

Just finished this. Man, that was so satisfying especially the Riho route. BGM and songs were awesome too. Just curious, is there any other music-centered VNs like this one? I've played Kira Kira and Curtain Call as well. Doesn't really matter if it is Rock Music (like this or Kira Kira) or Classical (like the anime Nodame Cantabile). I guess I'm just a sucker for Music VNs....

Take a look at Quartett!

It's about a string quartett at a conservatory (so it's about classic music). It's set in an unnamed country (I realised some german words on a blackboard in the background).
The character names are a cruel mixture of words from different languages which aren't names at all.

But the story is a really good one.

Besides, it has a heavy mosaic censoring, so it's more for the people who prefer a good story over hardcore H-scenes.

others all ages are:
Brass Restoration,
Mirai no Kimi to, Subete no Uta ni,
Rin ga Utau, Mirai no Neiro,
Symphonic Rain

Zellrang02 Jul 2012Reply

thx... I'm also needed other good VN that focuses more on good story and not the h-scene...

Random15 Aug 2012Reply

Well, it isn't exactly CENTERED around music, but Katawa Shoujo has some of the best BGM I've heard in a long time, and it is highly story focused, and damn, what a story! Though that is just my humble opinion, your mileage may vary. Also, it is quite free, so all you need to do is look it up on google or your favorite search engine, and just go to their site!

God I love that game. I've followed it for years and it is the only VN I've actively recommended to others. Hell I even use the music as a ring tone.

weseley smith04 Apr 2013Reply

I agree with you man. I believe Katawa Shoujo is one of the best VN's I've ever played.

KaigoAkuma06 Jul 2013Reply

The first ever VN that made me hold my tears.....
Especially on Hanako and Lily's route, I literally sighed in satisfaction when I got their ending. Man, every single route in Katawa Shoujo is so dam awesome. T^T To All Romance loving bastards out there!!!!
PLAY KATAWA SHOUJO!!!!!!!!!!!

Paul Mabie31 Jul 2013Reply

i think katawa shoujo made me cry more than i have ever cried over anything...ever T.T

G-Senjou no Maou

gurusame10 Oct 2012Reply

Try playing G senjou no maou. It has classicall music based BGM and the story's really nice.

Chetan Yadav21 Oct 2012Reply

Yup!! It is the best!!

JJ08 Jul 2012Reply

Whenever I try to play this game I get an error message stating: "Could not get the information of display adaptor". I've copy pasted the directX d3dx9_43.dll thing in the system32 but it still doesn't work. My laptop is old (about 4 years) but I don't think that it should have a problem playing a VN... Any ideas? Anyone else who had this problem? Thanks.

ThatSnorlaxBehindYou11 Jul 2012Reply

So far I am completely in love with this game I have been playing for 8 hours straight!

Pros:
Pretty Good Storyline

Dimensional Characters (they seem like they are real or could be real they don't seem played out like a lifeless mannequin)

Funny Dialogue (made me genuinely laugh)

A Fair amount of choices

A great amount of Save Slots

3 QuickSave/QuickLoad Slots

Nice Voice Acting

Music is awesome

The Variety Of personality types between the main characters

Cons:

No Gallery: This genuinely Dissappoited me because when I get a really nice VN/H Game that I like there it usually has a gallery for things like The "CG" the Music and if there was an ending or two that you missed (At least Katawa Shoujou hhad that) and of course those certain "H-scenes" It was genuinely disappointing to find that it had no gallery (unless it unlocks after you play through it so if it does I'll update XD

They seem to put in the main girls you can try to play through in fine detail but all other characters seem a bit more "Half-assed" compared to their detail (theen again alot of VN do these days) (I think anyways lol)

kinderbueno12 Jul 2012Reply

When even a little too long with little choice I find but a very well history

vanfox21 Jul 2012Reply

Just finished Riho's route. My heart is still aching at the ending...

Need. The. Sequel. Right. Now.

Dman27 Jul 2012Reply

Hang at Riho,s route , before fly back Germany.
Why???

GRAAA27 Jul 2012Reply

need a spoiler..
I saved riho for last but cant finish it

SPOILER!!!

I'm at where he is on the plane
and he looks out the window
What
didnt seem normal
huge truck
and realized it
then the game just freezes...
auto, skip, load, etc. still move but dont work so i have to exit out...
this is literally driving me insane
can someone please explain to me what happens doesnt matter if its 3 words or an important part of the story not finishing this will drive me crazy

vanfox05 Aug 2012Reply

That's probably because the game is loading the final scene which seems can't load. The final scene is like a movie, it's similar with the scene where they performed a Guerrilla Live, when an automated text and CG and the song comes up, remember?

Try to start again at your latest saved game.

moo07 Sep 2012Reply

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!

Basically Deardrops arrive on the same truck they used in the guerilla live at riho's academy , perfoms the song Riho and Shoichi created (Noisy Sweet Home) and Shoichi takes out his violin and performs his part while inside the train as his last farewell before leaving off to Germany.

moo07 Sep 2012Reply

inside the plane* , not the train , lulz sorry

Meh06 Aug 2012Reply

Just finished this shit.
I'm so fucking happy i'm able to play my guitar along with their songs.
This kind of VNs just BOOST my energy and my musical soul.

Thank you OverDrive.
I Can't now but eventually i'll pay for these great stories you've made for us.

Kira-Kira, Kirakira-Curtain Call and DearDrops...
Not bad guys... not bad...

N3G107 Aug 2012Reply

Is it an uncensored version?

moo07 Sep 2012Reply

yes it is , but dont except H scenes all the time , this is a story-driven VN and not a sex-fest like Discipline , lulz.

bino10 Aug 2012Reply

how to download this ? any suggestions ?

kid13 Aug 2012Reply

how do u install this? i downloaded the torrent one Do i extract ? Help plz

Anonymous14 Aug 2012Reply

I downloaded the torrent and extracted all RAR files, and tried to play, but it gives an error notice in some japanese and shows [ system.arc : ipl._bp ]. I do have a system.arc, so why doesn't it work?

Please tell me how to make it work. Thank you.

James01 Dec 2012Reply

Same problem. Is there anybody who can help?

atex5008 Jan 2013Reply

copy the folder to c:\, I was getting the same error, this worked for me

Chris23 Aug 2012Reply

I downloaded a torrent for this game, but there's no executable file. How am I supposed to play the game?

junk24 Aug 2012Reply

Is it possible to use the savegame from the demo in the full game? Or will I miss some story?

moo06 Sep 2012Reply

I really liked Deardrops , has a decently solid plot and likeable characters. It starts off slow though , but gradually gets good as the story progresses. Easily a 20'ish hours read.

Nir22 Sep 2012Reply

Awesome game, great story! Thank you admin

Kyro24 Sep 2012Reply

This game is amazing, i truly love it. Once i get a
PSP i'll buy it without hesitation.
I was so into the story, and it even made me cry
in the end.

>_>04 Oct 2012Reply

I can download and play the game after I extract it but I can't save and play from the shortcut. I get garbage letters, what's wrong with it?

Jade15 Oct 2012Reply

hey guys ... ummm does this game have bad endings? coz if this game has bad endings i wont play it ..... (i mean its in the normal route but the ending is really sad)

Hiroaki Ran02 Jan 2013Reply

um.....not so much bad endings as much as there are a lot of endings that leave what happens after up to your imagination.......nothing like being killed or anything though......

Avalion16 Oct 2012Reply

Don´t The game have any CG? Or video to can reply the lasts scenes??
Nothing? T_T

Frosty01530 Oct 2012Reply

Where can I download the OST of this game?
I freaking love their music.

Hiroaki Ran02 Jan 2013Reply

I love the music to! Also you shouldn't have to download it. Once you beat a route you unlock the galleries including all the songs you've heard and in the Deardrops folder is a movies folder with the opening and all the ending songs......

Tygiv31 Oct 2012Reply

I've been playing this for 20 hrs or so and i still havent run into a single H scene. Story is great yada yada, but why is it on eroge download if it has none of that? There were parts where i just wanted to pull my hair out. Stupidly slow plot line, if you want "eroge" go download something else. Waste of time.

asdfasd02 Nov 2012Reply

It does have H-scenes, actually. It sounds like you need to go play a Nukige game in stead or just fap to the HCG.

AtTheTimeOfThisPostIAmLaughing25 Dec 2012Reply

Bahahaha, a lot of eroge are slow like this. At least the first time around, where you don't skip 90% of the messages because you've already seen them.
At least all the more serious eroge are slow when it comes to running into H-Scenes.
Go fap to hentai animation or Fakku! H-manga.
There's no "stupidly slow plot line" in those.

Rhythm04 Nov 2012Reply

I find it funny how Rimu's route has the most satisfying ending in terms of closure.

Saxz11 Nov 2012Reply

Anyone have link downloads for BGM Called 'Companions', 'Feeling Heart to you', and 'High Tension' in this VN?

James01 Dec 2012Reply

Hey admin,

Does this game not work on xp? I have the same problem as Tunn.

Khal25 Jul 2013Reply

Did you ever get that bug fixed? It's been a while since you posted it but I'm having the same problem and am also on Windows XP. If you have fixed it would you mind saying how?

Kirito31 Dec 2012Reply

How can I compile all parts???

kyle31 Dec 2012Reply

This game for my new year...wahaha :)

Akai01 Jan 2013Reply

Amazing game. This is my favorite musical VN (because the others aren't translated). The protagonist is a likable guy. There are some hilarious moments in the VN. Riho's route is great (haven't tried others yet).

TinkleWinkle01 Jan 2013Reply

This was amazing.
My favourite eroge... my favourite anime-related thing...
this is now my favourite thing that exists.
This game is the epitome of amazing.
I wish I could kill myself and end up in this world, even if it isn't anything special like Sekirei and such...
I've been playing this for almost 64 hours straight, excluding the time for stuff like posting here and making bowl noodles (which in the end only takes up maybe a total of three hours).
Did anyone else go straight for Riho? >:D
