First envisioned by Kazutaka Kodaka as a dark adventure game simply called Distrust, Danganronpa is a series of three interactive “Stylish High-Speed Reasoning Action” novels with dating sim elements. They’re about anime teenagers that are often forced to murder one another as part of an elaborate series of ‘killing games’. It is developer Spike Chunsoft’s single most iconic series, and the sinister looking robot bear character Monokuma often serves as the company’s primary mascot.

While they were originally released on the PlayStation Portable and PlayStation Vita, the games of the Danganronpa franchise have since been ported to other platforms like iOS, Android, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC. Danganronpa has been adapted several times into other forms of media, including comic books, animation and novels. The series is often praised for having good writing and an intense atmosphere.
