Moondrop and Sundew
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Day 1: You're just an average photographer in an average town trying to get some good photos for your blog. Surely that mysterious mountain that's supposedly cursed that everyone keeps talking about will be the perfect place to get some pictures! You're pretty smart, you won't fall for any of the horror movie cliches. You'll be fine.
Well, until you're not.
But luckily for you, a kind stranger on the mountain is more than willing to help! How wonderful!
Although the more you hang around him, the more of a bad feeling you get in your chest. As though he was familiar, and not in the good way.
Day 2: Your new companion is much more kind than the stories you were told let on. With his delicious food and shy exterior, you truly think you could become good friends. He even helped you get home! And dangerous monsters don't do that.
But unfortunately, it seems he isn't the only one who has gotten attached to you, as a golden light seems interested in you as well.
However, are you positive it's you he's interested in?

WHOA!! This is so good so far! I remember when it was ShadowDrop or something; whenever i realized it changed I instantly knew that I had to play the newer version. It was longer than before I'm quite sure; my memory is hazy since i probably played ShadowDrop a couple of months ago. This is awesome, keep it up!! Also, take your time and take care of yourself :3. Anyways, aside from me already saying this, it's great!! I'll recommend this to some friends sometimes.
I did indeed reboot it into this! So thank you for replaying it!
omg i just finished the play through, i love both of the characters, very well written and omggggg IM OBBESSED WITH THE PLOT. Your game is amazing 10/10 would recommend playing and i cant wait for the next update
thank you so much!
Hello! can we for an ending not have to choose between the two Love intrest like a polly? Its okay if you dont want too! thank you for reading this > <
If you mean to ask if you're able to romance both, then yes! Yes you are!
AHHH I AM SO HAPPYYY THANK YOUU
i love this game so much c:
could you make it so i could pat orion or ravi?
like you pat them in the game? Not impossible! XD
Hi again! How are you doing? I just wanted to tell you that I played a part of your game's main menu song with Piano and it's on my YouTube channel again: https://youtube.com/@eva_waffle
I hope it came out good...
it came out amazing! You’re really good at piano! Unfortunately it’s not my music, it’s Doll Dance by Myuu, but I’m sure that guy would love what you did!
Thanks! 💖 this means a lot to me! and that's ok if the song is not yours. It still sounds great to me and reminds me of your game.
omg I love these two, the interactions between them is adorable, but dear lord do I want to clunk their heads together xD
XDD you’re not the only one!
I'm so glad I'm not alone in that xD
I honestly love the artwork. It's so cool. I can see how much effort you put into this game. I wish I could draw like you someday. and corvin is a crow now?! I don't know why, but it was so funny to me (in a good way) when I realized that while I was playing the game. And the Lore keeps getting better and better. I love it! And I made a fanart of Ravi (He's so cute). And it's on my YouTube channel : https://youtube.com/@eva_waffle?si=O4ARTe0zCNL4fFY9
thank very much for playing my game and making fanart! It means so much to me!
you're welcome! 💖
Please do it on Android too
This game is absolutely beautiful!! Don't wanna mention any spoilers but I absolutely love the story so far and can't wait to see where it goes! Hard to believe things can get any crazier! :0
I saw your last Tumblr post asking for our opinions and decided to reply here because I think my review is too "long" for the Tumblr comments. xD
(Spoiler day 2 OoOoOoOooooOOOO)
I really liked Day 2.
I was initially suspicious of Ravi. The fact that he's portrayed as a beloved angel made me think he was a villain. I was pleasantly surprised that he wasn't.
Orion is my favorite, so far. I GASPED when the arrow went through him! I was so scared for him!
However, one little thing bothers me: I think Ravi gets attached to the MC too quickly.
It makes sense with Orion: he's lived alone for 50 years and is hated and feared by everyone (and sometimes hunted).
But that's not the case with Ravi. He's rich, surrounded by people, and loved by everyone. (Even though I know that sometimes, even with all that, you can feel alone.) The fact that he becomes attached and agrees to put aside the ancestral hatred he feels for people like Orion for someone he's known for only a day bothered me slightly.
That obviously didn't stop me from liking day 2. I'm looking forward to the other days and seeing our boys in yandere mode. :D
And don't worry, the fact that the game isn't fully yandere yet is normal. In my opinion, it's better to take a little time, to let the characters get to know each other a little before falling into obsession.
That was my opinion, sorry for the typos; English is not my first language.
Thank you very much for the comment! I very much appreciate it! I wouldn't have minded a long comment on my tumblr, I'm happy to get any comments at all!
And I'm really glad you gave your input on Day 2, because I also realized that might have been a problem. So when Day 3 rolls around, there's going to be a change to Day 2's ending that has events go differently to make it make sense some more! As in he doesn't set aside his problems instantly. As for what that entails, you'll need to find out then!
I am really glad you liked my game, and don't worry about typos! I don't really mind. Thank you again!
O.M.GGGG I LOVED THIS SO MUCH!!!! BOTH OF THEM ARE SOO CUTEEE <333
I want more!!!!!! (DO NOT RUSH this stuff takes time )
aaa thank you!
:)
they turned bro into a bird ;-;
I thought it was funny XD
Just played day 2, absolute cinema ✋😐✋
Thank you!!!
could you add a download link for the og demo (shadowdrop)?
Unfortunately I can't, as the folders that was holding it got corrupted and it's now pretty much unsalvageable. I'm really sorry!
nah, you're fine.
wait, that gave me an idea. what if there was a meta-narrative where the protagonist of moondrom & sundew made shadowdrop as their version of the story, but one of the love interests got annoyed (or spooked) and destroyed the computer? xD
That’d be funny XD!
hi again! I'm here with another fanart! It's on my YouTube channel (again😭) : https://youtube.com/@eva_waffle?si=hy2mUznQv-OeFaaM . I hope it's accurate and not bad...
thank you so much! I love it so much!
I'm Glad you like it ! 💗
what happened to Corvin, will we ever see him again? O-O
Technically yes, but not in the way you think! I revamped him into Orion.
Well I loved that! Thank you!
thank you so much!
This is strangely similar to Mushroom Oasis, did you take inspiration from that game?
Yes I did! The game maker of MO even commented a while ago and said they liked what I made. Even though that game was my main reason for making this one, I will be deviating from that game a lot in the upcoming updates. It'll be more me!
🤍GREAT GAME🖤
Thank you very much for playing my game!!!
i played this before and forgot the name! glad i found it again!! >.<
I’m glad you did too!
Hey Man! You did A Great Job On This Visual Novel And So Far Im Loving The new Revamp! Looking Forward To Playing Day 2 When It Comes Out!
Aaa thank you so much!
I tried to draw your game's new profile...it's on my YouTube channel again: https://www.youtube.com/@Eva_Waffle | I hope it came out good...
thanks very much!
💗💗💗
hello hello, i'm playing the new version of the game right now and i saw that..well.. corvin didn't exist anymore.. that sad i really loved him.. but i respect your choice of changing your game don't worry =) , oh uh i'm planing to make my own vn and it was, like you, based on MO .. and Shadowdrop.. so do you mind if i make a ref about corvin in my game (of course Orion have a place too) and keep him exist in some fanart and other things like that ? .. Have a great day , bye bye
sure I don’t mind! Orion is just a remake of Corvin anyway, so just give me some credit if you can. I won’t mind. Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Oh I misunderstood your initial question. No credit is required! Put in as many references as you want!
X3 , oky thanks
IM DYING FOR AN UPDATEEEE
AMAZING GAME!!!!!!!
oh my GOODNESS, this is absolutely amazing....
I can't wait for more days...
why does this have to be so good?![]()
I love this! This is one of my favorite visual novels now!
Also I drew a fan art of corvin. It's on my youtube page : https://youtube.com/@eva_waffle?si=B-cQX-S1mVxLakVZ .Sorry I didn't know how to upload it here (T-T). And sorry if it's bad. I'm a beginner.
IT LOOKS AMAZING OMG??
thanks! 💗
this is the cutest fanart I’ve ever gotten! I love it! Thank you so much! 💞💞💞
I'm glad you liked it! 💗
i love this! i just finished the neutral route (i would be sad by doing the bad route now so i'll do it later) and i can't wait for when there will be an update! this game is so cute but at the same time a bit creepy and as a person who's one of her anxiety is being watched by too many people i can tell that i am happy about this game since it talks about scopophobia too, keep it up!!
this is realy good visual novel i cant wait for more but please dont rushh
this is the best one of theses type of games i have ever seen and played
i cant wait for more but take your time and dont feel stressed we are all happy wth waiting
is the download link safe?
yes
i put it threw a virus check
I CRAVE MOREEEEE (take your time tho ❤)
Can you also make it available on Android?
I really want to try it
That's a hard maybe but don't count on it yet!
Well I guess I can wait because I really want to try it so I will avoid anything that will ruin my experience in this game because I really have high hopes for it. (ゝω・´★)
Do you have a character sheet reference for Corvin? He is so hot...
Oh! Also a character sheet for the MC aka Y/N?
Character sheets for both characters will be coming soon!
Very nice game and i do not want to see the bad ending
Thank you! And there is a way to get the good ending so don’t worry!
Another question. Can we make NSFW art of the character? What tags can we use? #ShadowDropNSFW?
I’m going to say that yes, you can draw NSFW and use that tag to signal it. However, my only condition so far is that you don’t draw anything pedophilic with him. That’s gross. As long as it doesn’t involve that, draw away!
Ty
I just finished playing your game. I loved it. Do you have any socials?
Thank you so much!
No socials yet, I am working on it.
