"No, that's wrong!" - Makoto "eggy boi" Naegi, Ultimate Lucky Student, 2010.
Visual Novels were always something I passed off as a boring or cliche thing. Then I saw what Danganronpa was all about and wanted to give a shot. This game (along with the followups) are trip and then some. The story kept me pretty hooked, I digged the atmosphere of locales within Hope's Peak, the artstyle is one of my favorites with how it looks like a pop-up book (and a dark one at that), the music hits hard, and the trial segments are a blast to shoot through. It is a linear story, but the core mystery behind the killing game is a fun one to unravel. And literally shooting evidence at contradictions will never not be satisfying. Definitely one of the kind of games that is best experience blind. Also, don't get too attached to anyone...unless your playing School Mode that is.
