This is one of the greatest Danganronpa fangames I've ever downloaded, HOLY. The characters are well written, the art style is wonderful, the story is fantastic. I had an insane amount of fun playing this 😭
This technically isn't a review of the game itself but a personal message to it. Just a lot of 4am yapping.
I don't know why I haven't made this comment sooner but this thing genuinely had a positive affect on my life. I was in a bad spot mentally when I got into the game around 2023, And I pretty quickly met a group of people who were also into the game, who became my friends. Most of them still are today. I had been really isolated back then and having people to talk to, even if it was just about a danganronpa fangame I liked, really helped. I've also been inspired to work on my own projects because of it, and overall I just can't imagine myself without it.
I know It sounds silly since it's just a fangan, but I honestly just wanted to thank you for the positive impact It's had on me. easy 10/10. I can see past the flaws and even as I get into other fangans, I think this one will always be my favorite and have a special place in my heart. Once again, thank you. :]
I'm already OBSESSED with Danganronpa, this is absolutely perfect. The art style, character designs, basically everything abt this made it great. Keep up the good work!!!
came back to just reminisce on how amazing this was as a danganronpa lover. i absolutely adore this game (if my shayla was a fangame. oh boy this would be it.) and seeing my favourite characters again. MY BOY 😭
i really enjoyed playing this game! it is so INSANELY stylish - the amount of effort put into the visual design of this game truly shows.
i do think the big picture mystery was... not as satisfying and neat as i would have hoped. i thought the journey was worth it, but if you're the type to really care about the 'destination', then this might not be for you.
I finished the whole thing in 2 days. And hoestly, I think decreasing the amont of characters from 16 to 10, not trying to imitate the danganronpa art style, and straying a bit from the usual game mascots and established factions was a fantastic idea. The art is simplistic but beautiful compared to the wonky character sprites other fangans have. Keeping the character count at 10 and aiming for a shorter story makes things easier to follow and also prevents the creators from burning out. Thanks to that this is an actually complete game!
Couple that with sequences where we have an unreliable narrator which incorporates this unreliability into game mechanics (like the trial and investigation,) and also another extremely cool twist towards endgame that I cant talk about here due to spoiler reasons, you got yourself an amazing game which makes it hard to believe that this entire thing was made with renpy.
I also appreciate that character deaths actually influence the choices that characters make. Usually danganronpa fails to actually care for death and grief, surprisingly.
The queer reps in this game were also very natural.
My favorite character is Forte! I think he really shined when it was his turn.
TLDR: Fantastic game which takes about,,, eh, 5-7 hours to complete. Good mysteries.
I really enjoyed playing Danganronpa: Lapse. My favourite character was Missy for the entire game she was so cool. I would definitely recommend this game!!
This game was so slow and boring that I could not force myself to finish it. Nothing happens for almost an hour into the game and by that point I have lost interest in whatever is coming. The character's are not likeable enough to make me care what happens to them and the story sounds good at first but it's really just underwhelming.
This is the first danganronpa fangame i've played and I have to say i was really blown away by how cool and awesome it was! Lowkey had more fun with it than I did with my recent replay of the Trigger Happy Havoc.
The artstyle was lovely and I thought everyone was adorable and stylish. My favorites, appearance-wise, were definitely Kanon, Lyle and Echo!
Also, I'd like to mention that I went absolutely feral and climbed the walls of my enclosure in delight when I saw all the Zero Escape references, since it's one of my favorite games ever!!!
I do think the ending was a bit rushed and that some elements of the story (especially relating to the protagonist and the inciting incident) could've been fleshed out more, but overall it's been a fun experience and I'd play a Lapse 2 if it ever happens!
The story was almost perfect, but some of the mechanics frustrated me.
You see, I usually only use one save file. I didn't know there were more endings and that I could fail, so I coincidentally saved after an important choice.
It turned out to be the wrong choice, and now I was stuck with that ending. I had to redo everything and save many different files to avoid losing again.
I still got the other bad ending, but I was prepared this time.
The trials were kind of lackluster and the motivations didn't make much sense, like those in chapters 2 from THH and 4 of V3.
Also, that one thing with Echo wasn't explained at all. It felt like a Deus ex machina.
9/10 game, dragged down a bit by the gameplay and the constant plot twists that overshadowed the trials

Hey I just wanted to ask if youre okay with people creating content/ streaming this game :3
finished this game in one day. its 5 42 in the morning and im gonna sleep for a total of 1 hour. do not regret.
This was so great, and the twists and turns were spot on. Especially the last trial, wow! That was amazing :D
I love Danganronpa, and every second of this was PERFECT for a rejuvenation.

oh brother
??? You likely haven't even met everybody or done any free time events an hour into the game, of course nobody's going to die that early 😭
