>>36897965Danganronpa is a visual novel about some kids who get locked in a high school and are forced to kill each other for their freedom. Every time a student is killed the survivors have to do a bit of sleuthing to find the murderer. If they accuse the wrong person everyone but the actual murderer dies, and if they accuse the correct person only that person will die.
The story is obsessed with the concept of hope and despair, but it's done with so little tact that you could replace every use of the words "hope" & "despair" with "good" & "evil", "light" & "darkness", or "pizza" & "french fries" and nothing in the story would change.
The canon plot is as by-the-numbers as you'd expect.
Nobody important ever gets killed off and eventually it's revealed that nobody even died hurr durr it was all just a test to see if your heart was pure and full of li-- I mean hope! :DDue to Japan's weird censorship rules all the blood is colored pink/purple and just looks like spilt paint. And all the art in the game looks pulled right out of a middle school hot topic weeb girl's artbook. Seriously, just play 999 instead.
