The series began in 2010 with Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and was followed by 2012's Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. It premiered on PSP and Vita with PC, Mac and Linux versions following years later.

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc follows the exploits of a group of teenagers trapped in their private school where a malevolent bear named Monokuma forces the cast of pupils to kill one another if they're to escape.

The sequel, Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, follows a similar cast of Hope's Peak Academy students facing Monokuma, only this time on a tropical island following an ill-advised school trip.

Eurogamer contributor Cassandra Khaw highly recommended the Danganronpa series. "Building on careful layers of paranoia, Danganronpa is a game about archetypes being stripped down and dissected, a game about the degradation of a supposed utopia, and a game with surprisingly good writing. And a game that's certainly worth picking up from Steam," she wrote in her passionate ploy to get folks to play these.
