Danganronpa the series was created by Spike Chunsoft. The game in Beta stage was called Distrust and used a mechanic which didn’t find it’s way into the three games this is based on which was the trust/distrust meter which could affect different things in the game.
Story wise the games are all pretty different but I’m going to say not much just to make sure I don’t spoil em and they’ll be in respective dropdown boxes.
Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc
The first game in the series Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc (Or just DR:THH for short) is set in Hope’s Peak Academy. A place where the best of the best known as Ultimate students gather. Every Ultimate level student is the best in their job and some example talents from this game are: Affluent Progeny, Clairvoyant, Programmer. This game follows the story of Makoto Naegi, the Ultimate Lucky Student who made it into the academy via a lottery and his tale of hope and despair.
Trapped inside Hope’s Peak Academy, fifteen students are forced to kill each other by this crazy bear called Monokuma. If you kill a classmate you can leave… If you are not discovered. Once a student dies, the class get to investigate it and then a class trial begins in which is the culprit is found, they are executed. If they’re not, then everyone else is executed and the ‘blackened’ culprit gets to graduate. There are rules students have to follow and if they break them, they get executed.
Finally there’s a battle between hope and despair. Hope wins because yay for nice feelings, am I right? A few students get set free into the new world after the Mastermind who kept them there decides to execute themselves just to taste despair.
Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair
In almost every single way this game is similar except the game is primarily set on an island. The cast are also of course different this time having… An Ultimate Breeder, Lucky Student, Affluent Progeny, Gamer and Photographer to name a few. This time you follow a boy who doesn’t know his talent Hajime Hinata and see his development.
