Visual novel mystery where fifteen high school students are trapped inside Hope's Peak Academy by a sadistic robotic bear named Monokuma. The only escape: commit murder without getting caught. When someone dies, you investigate crime scenes, gather testimony, then enter class trials—debate sequences where you fire evidence bullets at contradictory statements to expose the killer. Between trials, you explore the locked-down school, talk to classmates, and uncover why you're imprisoned. The courtroom segments blend logic puzzles with rhythm-action elements as you dismantle alibis in real time. Anime-style presentation with dark humor undercutting the death-game premise. Works if you want detective work with higher stakes than pointing at clues.
