She slowly walks up to me, emanating gatekeep girlboss gaslight energy from every step taken, deliberately. Once she makes sure I am within whispering vicinity, she utters those words

"Makoto get strapped or get clapped"

Ayo Kyoko I will never forget you manhandles an uncontrollable tear frenzy

I'm not the brightest bulb in the room, but neither are they. Do they deserve death for this reason? No!! Hence why this is a series of hopium and copium, and this is the train's first stop. Still kinda funny, these executions really have "mods kill this guy" energy to them. Everything is so over-the-top in its writing and presentation that it's very difficult to be whelmed. You gotta have an opinion on this game. Some people were FNAF kids and I guess I was a Dangan kid... a late bloomer though I was already 15, and since then the only game that came out was a beach episode cashgrab coming out in winter.

I won't sugarcoat it, this is W writing. It's absurd, it's complex, it hits you when it needs to. Kodaka's style is something special. He knows how to blueball his audience and you're still in his grasp. The protagonist Big Mac is a template compared to the others, the whole cast has grounded designs and less complex personalities but they bounce off eachother due to the story's nature, and it's a delight to see. A battle royale with emphasis on relationships and deductions is like, best template ever! So many quality fangames are being made for this reason. Very few are actually completed, people don't see the labor needed for the whole package, meanwhile Kodaka made a sequel in 2 years the mad lad.

Uh oh, someone died. You better not have been watching Shrek 2 in the projector room or you won't have an alibi! The main course is, naturally, the class trials hosted by horror-mascot-before-mascot-horror-games-existed Monokuma! Fun fact: he's feeling white. These transracial statements don't surprise me, he's never been one for being likeable. Gather round fellas, the council has decided- wait, you're part of it. Democracy sucks it should be an authoritarian Kirigiri government but Big Mac needs to grow a spine and somehow outsmart Byakuya, whose face is shown next to "sigma male alpha chad" in Urban Dictionary. No seriously, he faces off an entire country in the novels it's wild. My favorite character is and will still be Sakura, I trust I won't have to explain this one. But, really I only dislike Celeste. She's hyped up to be a whole lot of nothing in the end that can't live up to expectations. The VA's shoulders must be sore by now.

The gameplay is as bad as VN gameplay goes. The truth bullet segments should've been a tad more forgiving in my opinion. The unlimited continues does help make any difficulty frustration go away. I got lost a few times, the map travel is terribly clunky. Music good. Story and characters were pretty fun! Not perfect, but it's goofy fun. Couldn't remember their names though, for a few of them. many times i had to ask myself "who is that??"
also, odd choice to severely limit "Free Time" segments. You barely get any!

As someone who watched Let's Plays back in the day, I think the game still holds up. Although I already know who the culprit is, the journey of the game, its gameplay, and its characters kept me hook throughout the entire game. I do think that the game is a bit basic sometimes (either it is because it is a bit easy or maybe I have knowledge of some parts of this game), but I think that the sequel would expand these concept even further. The school mode is a bit tedious to do, but I still have fun organizing and managing characters and items. Plus I used the school mode to be able to get all the characters' report cards.
