What is this?

-An Ace Attorney styled adventure game/visual novel with the social link mechanic

from Persona 3/4 and a 999/Battle Royale/Hunger Games-like setting

 

What's it about?

-A group of super skilled high schoolers along with one ordinary one chosen by raffle

are selected to attend Hope's Peak Academy. They go there, only to find that they've

been imprisoned in the academy by a teddy bear called Monokuma, who tells them that

they have to kill someone without being found out to escape.

After someone is murdered all the students must all take part in a "Class Trial",

to determine who the culprit is.

 

How does it play?

-Each chapter of the game is split into 2 portions: (n)everyday life/Daily Life  and neveryday life/Deadly Life.

During (n)everyday life you can explore the academy, talk to the other students

and progress with the story. There's also a section called "Free Time" during which

you can hang out with the other students, give them gifts, learn more about them and

gain skills for the class trial.

During neveryday life, a.k.a. after someone gets killed, you have to "Investigate"

the crime scene and other related places and collect "Ammunition"/"Truth Bullets", a.k.a. evidence

for the class trial.

 

In the "Class Trial", you have to debate with other students in order to pinpoint

the culprit of the case.

This is the most gameplay-filled portion of the game, as it's mostly made up

of minigames, some of which include:

 

Non-stop Debate/

Here you have to debate with the other students over various parts of the case

and find the contradiction in one of their statements. This makes up most of the

trial

 

Epiphany Anagram/Hangman's Gambit

It's hangman.

 

M.T.B./B.T.B

A rhythm minigame where you argue with someone, usually the culrpit, head to head.

 

Climax Reenactment/Closing Argument

You have an icomplete manga detailing the events of the case and your job is to

fill in the blanks with the correct panels.
