What better way to celebrate Halloween than murdering the friends you met during a very serious lockdown at your High School?

Danganronpa is an Adventure Visual-Novel game. The PSP version of this game is Japanese only, but an English Fan-Translation has been supported. You control High School student Makoto Naegi who is well known for being... Ultimately Unlucky. Makoto attends the school, Hope's Peak Academy, with other Ultimate students. There in his class he meets Ultimates such as the Ultimate Pop Star, Ultimate Biker Gang Leader, Ultimate Fashionista and many more. After they arrived at the school, they fell unconscious and eventually woke up to being in a completely locked down building. After assessing the situation, they are all called to the Gymnasium to meet the Headmaster...

Danganronpa takes a spin on the murder-mystery visual novel style of game. If you've played any Ace Attorney game then that's the best example to use here. There's usually a bit of exploration at the beginning of a chapter which will lead into an investigation period and then onto the Class Trial. The class trials are also very unique compared to AA. Rather than just selecting a line of dialog and choosing evidence to refute it, the characters will be having a Non-Stop Debate in which they will continuously talk and your goal is to select to correct evidence (Loaded as a Truth Bullet), take aim and to fire the evidence at the statement that contradicts the evidence. The trials have more unique minigames to them which have always made them feel more exciting than the typical "sit there and wait for the next cross-examination". There's also something very exciting at the end of each Trial, but I'll allow you to discover that on your own.

I had a lot of fun making this set and I'm thankful that we've been able to support PSP so we could have Danganronpa sets.
