 Trigger Happy Shooting Introduction:

"Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc" is a visual novel adventure game developed and published by Spike, serving as the inaugural installment in the Danganronpa series. Originally launched in Japan for the PlayStation Portable in November 2010, the game subsequently became available on Android and iOS devices in August 2012. NIS America localized and published Danganronpa in English-speaking regions across multiple platforms.

The game follows the journey of Makoto Naegi, a high school student, who unwittingly becomes embroiled in a deadly competition at Hope's Peak Academy. In this sinister game orchestrated by a robotic bear named Monokuma, 15 students are presented with a macabre choice: they can only escape from the institution if they commit murder and manage to evade being identified as the killer during a trial. Combining elements of dating simulations with third-person shooter mechanics, Makoto interacts with fellow students to participate in "class trials," during which they must shoot down arguments displayed on the screen to solve mysteries.

Gameplay:

The concept for Danganronpa originated from writer Kazutaka Kodaka's desire to create a unique gaming experience, as he believed that traditional adventure games had lost their appeal. Consequently, he crafted a dark narrative that stirred controversy within Spike due to its graphic violence among students. Nevertheless, the company decided to proceed with development, focusing on the innovative gameplay system that they believed set the game apart from others. Character designs for the game were created by Rui Komatsuzaki.

Danganronpa achieved commercial success and garnered praise for its cast and story handling. It received awards, although critics were divided on the level of difficulty in solving class trials and the quality of its mini-games. A sequel, "Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair," was released in 2012, and a compilation of both games, titled "Danganronpa 1・2 Reload," reached the PlayStation Vita in Japan in October 2013 and worldwide in March 2017. The game also spawned various adaptations and spin-offs, including an anime television series, a stage show, two manga series, and two novels.

In "Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc," players assume the role of Makoto Naegi, a student trapped in Hope's Peak Academy, embroiled in a deadly competition among his peers. The gameplay draws stylistic similarities to Capcom's "Ace Attorney" series, centering on investigation and identifying contradictions, with a focus on faster-paced gameplay. Each game chapter presents two distinct gameplay styles: "School Life," where players explore the academy and advance the story, and "Class Trials," where they must deduce the identity of a perpetrator.

During "School Life," players can navigate the school grounds in a first-person perspective, with more areas unlocking as the game progresses. Within various rooms, players employ a crosshair cursor to initiate conversations with characters or inspect environmental elements. Examining specific objects rewards players with Monokuma Coins, which can be used to unlock presents from a capsule machine in the school shop. "School Life" is divided into two phases: "Daily Life" and "Deadly Life." In "Daily Life," players engage in conversations with different characters, advancing the plot with dating sim elements. New information can be unveiled by responding to specific comments. During designated "Free Time" segments, players can choose to spend time with specific characters, offer them presents, and unlock additional information about them, along with various Skills usable in "Class Trials." When a crime scene is discovered, the game shifts to "Deadly Life," where players must search for clues throughout the academy. Gathered evidence and testimonies are stored in the player's e-Handbook, where they can also save their progress. Before a "Class Trial," players can purchase skills that aid them during the gameplay.

"Class Trials" occur following the discovery of a deceased body. During these trials, students discuss and deliberate the identity of the culprit. Except for instances where players must respond to multiple-choice questions or present evidence, "Class Trials" encompass four primary gameplay modes: "Nonstop Debate," "Hangman's Gambit," "Bullet Time Battle," and "Closing Argument." In "Nonstop Debate," characters express their opinions on the case, with potential "weak points" highlighted in yellow. Players are armed with "Truth Bullets," metaphorical projectiles containing relevant evidence. To break the deadlock in the debate and prevent it from continuing indefinitely, players must identify lies or contradictions among the weak points and target them with evidence-based bullets. Players can also quell disruptive chatter marked in purple to gain additional time and employ a Concentration meter to slow down conversations for more precise shots. Some trials necessitate absorbing one remark and using it as ammunition against another. "Hangman's Gambit" is a shooting puzzle in which players must shoot down specific letters to spell out a clue. "Bullet Time Battle" involves one-on-one debates against fellow students using rhythm-style gameplay. As the opponent makes statements, players must press buttons in rhythm to lock onto the statements and shoot them down. Finally, "Closing Argument" is a puzzle in which players reconstruct a comic strip depicting the sequence of events in a crime. The player's Influence among other students is represented by hearts, which decrease with errors in shooting contradictions or presenting evidence but increase when accurate evidence is presented. The game ends if the player exhausts all their Influence or runs out of time during a segment. Following a trial, players receive rankings based on their performance, with additional Monokuma Medals awarded for higher ranks.

Final Words:

Starting from the PlayStation Vita version onward, the game features an additional mode known as "School Life," inspired by the "Island Mode" introduced in Danganronpa 2. This mode becomes accessible after completing the game once. In "School Life," Monokuma assigns students the task of creating multiple backup units of himself over several days. Each day, players assign students to scavenge rooms for materials necessary to build each concept, maintain the school's cleanliness, or rest to recover energy. During "Free Time," players can choose to spend time with other students to unlock skills, just like in the main game, or utilize Trip Tickets obtained from completed concepts to take students on trips.
