Sixteen elite students arrive on a sunny island for a school trip, until a cruel mascot announces that anyone who kills and gets away with it may leave.

Who it's for: Players who finished the first Danganronpa and want a bigger, stranger sequel with harder trials and a wild final act.

The story (spoiler-free)

Hajime Hinata can't remember his own talent, and he is the odd one out among classmates who are all 'Ultimate' at something. The tropical field trip turns into a killing game almost at once.

Each chapter moves from daily life and investigation to a class trial, a debate played through fast minigames where you fire evidence at contradictions to find the killer.

It builds on the first game's story, so play Trigger Happy Havoc first.
