D3 Publisher has officially announced the upcoming release of its latest otome visual novel, Despera Drops, set to launch on Steam on May 27, 2025. This marks an exciting milestone as the game makes its debut on PC, following its successful run on the Nintendo Switch.
Game Overview
Originally released in Japan in 2023, Despera Drops quickly garnered attention before making its way to a global audience on the Switch. While D3 Publisher managed the Japanese launch, Aksys Games facilitated the English version for the console. However, for the PC release, Aksys will not be involved. The development of this version is credited to Wizardsoft Corporation, while Red Entertainment was responsible for the console adaptation.
The narrative centers around Mika Amamine, a college student endowed with the unique ability to perceive the thoughts and intentions of individuals through touch. Despite her efforts to keep her hands covered, unforeseen circumstances lead to accidental encounters. A pivotal moment occurs when Mika inadvertently touches a man who later becomes a murder victim, prompting her to uncover a dark conspiracy that implicates her in a series of crimes. As she navigates this treacherous landscape, Mika finds herself in a quest not only to clear her name but also to forge connections with new allies, potentially leading to romance.

The PC edition of Despera Drops promises to deliver an experience on par with its Switch counterpart. Players can expect:
- The main storyline alongside seven After Stories featuring various characters.
- Compatibility with both keyboard and mouse or controller for gameplay.
- Steam Cloud save support, ensuring seamless gameplay across devices.
- The opportunity to earn achievements and collect trading cards throughout the game.
With its engaging plot and interactive elements, Despera Drops is poised to captivate fans of the genre when it arrives on PC later this month.
