Sound of Drop - fall into poison - Reviews
Visual novels are not exactly my forte. This is the first time I've played one, and while I'm still not one hundred percent sold on the idea, even being an avid reader in the past, I can appreciate what these games do for the genre. I think I'd love to see more unique visual novels, as of now most seem to cater to similar themes and ideas. This is where Sound of Drop hooked me. It's horror, it's interesting in premise, and it's easy enough to get into because I was digging the core story. Perhaps that's all it really takes sometimes.
If you enjoy horror and mystery in your visual novel (VN), you are bound to enjoy Sound of Drop, but it is unlikely to become your favorite.
Using only a series of interesting artwork, an eerie soundtrack and a string of text it's surprising just how much Sound of Drop – fall into poison – can put players on edge and disturb them. Of course this is a choice based visual novel and not going to appeal to everyone, plus it's a shame that there's no voice acting as it could have added something to the experience. Avoiding the typical VN romance tropes with a unique horror approach makes this a quality product and highlight for the genre.
Sound of Drop appears to be a bit too ambitious for its limitations. In the end, I would say it is worth a read if you can find it on sale and want something quick and not too deep.
