I'm.... A bit disappointed. And I feel like the demo kind of duped fans of DanganRonpa into thinking the full game would have a different tone than it actually does. I just got my first ending and found myself incredibly surprised and annoyed and am now playing again with different choices... The entire time I was playing before more was explained I kept asking myself 'Wtf is this game?! Like what is going on?! '. I really enjoyed the art and color choices as well as character design. And for the LOVE OF GOD can these games stop making overweight characters food obsessed gluttons with literally no personality other than to talk about food and eating?! That really pissed me off and I'm sick of seeing it. No one else in this cast was as ridiculous as Mowchan, and I've noticed that with a lot of these titles. THEY EVEN DRESSED HIM UP TO LOOK LIKE A COW WITH HIS STOMACH HANGING OUT OF HIS COW PRINT SHIRT! Also the promotion for that energy drink was out of place, uncomfortable and I hated it. Stop selling things to people, especially children in media they've paid full price for!! Ugh! If you're a DanganRonpa fan do not think this game is going to be anywhere near as ... Engaging.
I'm going to play again with different choices but I doubt anything will restore the excitement I had for this game...
That's all.
Update (Fri June 18th 2021)
Okay so I just finished the game entirely. The first ending I had was like a weird fluke ending, and when I noticed that by design you're supposed to replay certain portions of the game and go back to the present that was interesting. The characters eventually grew on me as they interacted more and the story unfolded. It was a sweet little story after things fleshed out! While the actual gameplay wasn't that exciting I did enjoy the story and elements of it once everyone 'awakened'. It was really cute and I can see a lot of people taking a liking to the characters and story if they can stick it through. It took a bit for me to get to that point, but I'd say it's worth sticking with. I initially went into this with Danganronpa in the back of my mind, but it's a very different story. And very different gameplay and should be judged on it's own merit. Because it's not really trying to be anything like Zthe DR franchise. I even hated the theme song initially but as the friends got closer and further along their journey I found myself appreciating it more.
Also I love that my fave character was Pochi even before ***** went down. That was great.
