About Danganronpa
In the acclaimed Danganronpa series, you must use high-speed deductive action to expose a murderer. It all starts when Monokuma, a self-proclaimed headmaster, traps extremely talented high schoolers from around the world inside his academy. To escape, Monokuma forces the students to play a killing game and identify the murderer in twisted Class Trials. When a body is discovered, you will investigate, gather evidence, and question your classmates before the turbulent spectacle of a Class Trial. As you determine who to refute, the fully-voiced arguments by classmates add to the tense atmosphere. Class Trials combine deduction and action elements to create an exciting gaming experience unlike any other.
Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, the first game in the Danganronpa series, was released for the PSP on November 25, 2010 in Japan. Since then, five titles have been launched across various platforms, including three mainline entries and two spin-offs. The series has achieved significant international popularity, with cumulative shipments exceeding 10 million copies worldwide.
