i am dying of a deadly disease and the only thing that can save me is shuichi saihara

A banger danganronpa entry, like all the others. Playing as Kaede was super fun throughout the whole game! You'll enjoy this if you like female protags :D

As I finish this game, it's clear the devs wanted to end this entire franchise right here and do so in style and with a bang. They thought they were being clever and really they could have been. The gameplay is solid and the individual cases are straight up some of the best offered yet. However, the overarching story they exist in was pretty sloppy, contradicting itself in the nature of details the main villain will ultimately have as well as perhaps the single most key character to tell the tale around, resulting in a very unsatisfying feel unless you are willing to turn your brain off and forget as much from the early game as our cast of characters do from their lives. Further insult to injury, what should have been a re-interpretation of the rest of the series turns into a retcon that straight up erases the second game in the trilogy. This is pretty egregious, especially when this spoils all the potential it had.

I wish I could be nicer, but where the game is as much a visual novel as it is a detective game, that story is way too important to forgive these issues, and so I have a really hard time recommending this game. In fact, I don't.
