Hope’s Peak Academy is home to Japan’s best and brightest high school students—the beacons of hope for the future. But that hope suddenly dies when Makoto Naegi and his classmates find themselves imprisoned in the school, cut off from the outside world and subject to the whims of a strange, murderous little bear named Monokuma. He pits the students against each other, promising freedom to anyone who can murder a fellow classmate and get away with it.
It’s up to you to find out who Monokuma really is, and why you’ve been taken from the world you once knew. But be careful what you wish for—sometimes there’s nothing more deadly than the truth…
Key Features
- Daily Life, Deadly Life: Trapped in a school-turned-prison, students are murdering each other one by one. You’ll have to investigate each incident, search for clues, and talk to your classmates to try and get to the bottom of each brutal case!
- Mock Trial: The nefarious Monokuma serves as judge, jury, and executioner as you engage in deadly wordplay, going back and forth with suspects, dissecting their statements and firing their words back at them to expose their lies!
- Popularity Contest: Sway classmates to your side in each investigation, squeezing information from them to figure out who did it. And when you do, turn up the heat in a variety of timing and reflex-based game systems to uncover the truth and save your skin!
- Steam Features: Supports Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud and Steam Trading Cards.

Terrible fandom, but amazing game.
1. Don't google a character name at all, never, even autofill could ruin the experience.
-If you're looking for a gift guide just do it like this:
"Presents for <character name> Danganronpa"
And stick to the presents, don't click any other graph.
2. Don't watch anything about the game before playing.
3. Go in completely blind and stay that way.

I would 100% recommend. This was my first visual novel and let me tell you it did not disappoint. The story is really compelling, shocking, and has a ton of twists. All the characters have depth to them and overall all of them feel like fully fleshed out character. The game play is also pretty good, the controls are good. Overall if you haven't I would 100% recommend playing.

Good story.
You can try to guess who is killer, like while watching Scream movie.
Also great for learning / teaching English (simple enough for non native to understand, but not feel dumb).

The Danganronpa series is very close to me everything about it has always hit that soft spot. Danganronpa scratched every itch I personally had; murder mystery, great characters and a genuinely good story. I would highly suggest playing the Visual Novels if you're a fan of murder mysteries!

Before I played this, my only knowledge of this game was what my weeb friends in highschool would say and I would overhear. Either that or cosplays and the like. Never watched the anime or anything until now, the big 2025. FIFTEEN YEARS after the release of the original game in Japan, and just a little over a decade since it came out in America (which would have been when my friends first got into it).
Regardless though, I was pleasantly surprised. Its a very unique concept for the Adventure game format, having several sections that in other games would simply be "look through your inventory and present an item to the character", instead being transformed into a minigame of sorts. The most common one you'll see is a shooting variant, where your "evidence" in the case becomes a "bullet" you shoot at the words characters would say. The higher the difficulty you play on, the more difficult this will be, with you getting more bullets to pick from and more obstacles that can cover the words, making it harder to hit your target. Otherwise we also have a hangman-type puzzle, where you need to shoot the letters on screen, in order, to fill in the blanks to spell out what evidence you need to present.
We also have a rhythm game style minigame, where you need to tap one button in-tune with the beat to "lock on" to a statement, and press another button in-tune with the beat to "fire" at that statement. And during this whole thing the tempo can increase or decrease, and they will even remove the markers and force you to only use the beat to try and argue. As with the other minigames, this gets harder on higher difficulties.
The story I found interesting at first because it was a unique take on this concept, but as it went on it started becoming more and more sci-fi in scope. I went in expecting something similar to like, Ace Attorney in terms of their world. These are fictional characters which would mean they could have extreme personalities or extreme situations could occur, but I was still expecting it to be somewhat grounded. Then even as early as the second trial, this starts slowly coming undone and revealing something much larger than anything I expected. However the final trial definitely scratched the same itch as the final trial in an Ace Attorney game.
Anyone who wants a slightly different take on the Adventure game formula, or just a game where you solve hair-brained schemes and murder, I would recommend it.

This game is too much for my weak ass heart. After chapter 1, I had to take a day to recover from all that happened, and the same for chapter 2. I ended up tanking through chapters 3-6.
I have two options:
A. Recover from this game to ease the inevitable blow to my sanity from Danganronpa 2.
B. Traumatize myself further on Danganronpa 2 without delay.
I think I'm gonna go with option B.
