D3 Publisher announced its next PC game will be the otome visual novel Despera Drops. It will arrive on Steam on May 27, 2025. We’ll be able to play it in both English and Japanese, and this marks its first appearance on computers. Previously, the title only appeared on the Switch worldwide.

Despera Drops first showed up on the Switch in Japan, where the otome visual novel debuted in 2023, before coming to the console worldwide and PC now in 2025. D3 handled the Japanese Switch release. Aksys took care of the English Nintendo launch, but it is not involved in this version. While Red Entertainment worked on the console release, Wizardsoft Corporation is credited as the developer here.

The story features a college student named Mika Amamine with the ability to discern information and intention about individuals she touches. While she covers her hands at all times, now, accidents sometimes happen. After meeting with a certain individual she once inadvertently touched, learning about his lost memories in the process, he’s murdered. She realizes a “staff” member was responsible. A conspiracy leads to her being arrested and carted away alongside other criminals. However, an attempt to escape alongside them also means a chance to find out what’s going on, clear her name, expose a seedy organization, and find love with one of her new “allies.”

The PC version will be on par with the Switch release. This means the main game and its seven After Stories segments with characters are available. You can also use a keyboard with mouse or controller to play. Steam Cloud saves are ed in the otome visual novel, and you can earn achievements and trading cards as you play the PC game.

Despera Drops will come to the PC via Steam on May 27, 2025, and it is on the Switch worldwide.

D3 Publisher will release a new otome game, DesperaDrops, on the Nintendo Switch sometime in Winter 2023. It will feature character designs by Fire Emblem Awakening artist Yusuke Kozaki. Some other works that Kozaki previously designed for include the No More Heroes series, Fire Emblem Fates and and Ai: The Somnium Files. [Thanks, Famitsu!]

In saying that though, we have no pictures of the DesperaDrops characters so far. We can only see their silhouettes. More information on them, including the Fire Emblem artist's designs, will come out in the near future. It looks like there will be seven main love interests in the game for us to pursue.

DesperaDrops is a completely new otome IP from D3P and Red Entertainment. The two previously collaborated on Nightshade, which is a romance visual novel focusing on ninjas during the Sengoku Period. (Nightshade also eventually appeared worldwide.) DesperaDrops’s genre is described as crime-suspense. It’ll take place throughout Europe and follow the protagonists on the run after they are accused of a crime they didn’t commit.

Aside from Yusuke Kozaki, it will feature writing from Ririka Yoshimura and an opening and ending theme from Zwei. Yoshimura previously worked on otome titles such as the Jakou no Lyla series and the Cupid Parasite games.

DesperaDrops will come out in Winter 2023 for the Nintendo Switch in Japan. More information on the story and characters will appear in the near future.
