ThePunishedSnake: Is this a visual novel (I don't play VN), or it is an investigative games?
I can't understand from the trailer.

WesleyB: It's a murder mystery (with trials similar to Ace Attorney series) in which you are also able to get closer to the people you got locked up in the school of Ultimate Despair.
Yeah, it's a lot more interactive than most visual novels. It's more along the lines of Phoenix Wright or 999, so maybe it's more reasonable to just call it a straight-up adventure game.
It's fun, but I already played it. When they release the sequel I'll buy that one.
What about Clannad?
I'm in no way a visual novel fan (with the exception being the master of the universe Hatoful Boyfriend) but I hear this name every now and then.
Good to go or more of the same?

Well, visual novels come in many variations - RPGs, dating sims, adventure games...calling it "a straight-up adventure game" sounds vague at best and misleading at worst.

By the way, have you seen the anime? I ask because you call the story "amazing", and the anime adaptation's only sort of "amazing" was amazingly bad. It was really obvious that it's a visual novel adaptation (even more than usual), but I suppose it's possible that it was a bad one. On the other hand, the central contrivance is - I assume - the same, and that was...well, let's keep this polite.

The anime was bad I wouldn't base your expectations for the game on that.
Is it worth playing the first game if you have already seen the show?
That must be a song title somewhere!

theslitherydeee: Is it worth playing the first game if you have already seen the show?
Yes, definitely. There's a hell of a lot that the show skipped over, and the game does such a good job of conveying mood. It feels like a completely different thing.
Nice news. I'm interested in them but I don't own a Vita, so this is just perfect.
Soo... the game's out tomorrow on Steam. Wonder if we'll get it here.

Here's the store link for Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/413410/


Would be a nice surprise if, instead of the bog standard adventure games being hurled at us every week, we could get one that was a little different for a change. It'd sure as shit be more interesting than Californium.
I love Danganronpa. I have both games on my PS Vita and finished them not too long after I bought them. I doubt they'll come to GOG, but if they do, I'd buy them instantly. It's some of the best fun I've had in murder mystery games.
Huh I remember reading a preview of this game when it was set to be released State-side for the consoles. I don't know why, but I always had the impression (hope?) it was more like Persona and less like a visual novel / adventure game.

Doesn't sound like that's the case though. Still, hoping it shows up here for all the people interested. Certainly sounds like an odd little title that could be interesting. Plus, it's always nice to see GoG get the support of previous console (maybe handheld in this case?) only games, and a Japanese one at that.
Came out on Steam earlier, and nowhere to be seen on GOG.

4 games today, and they couldn't even muster one that was a little more unique?
Seriously Gog, we need this game, here.

I've got Persona and Professor Layton, I'm missing Pheonix Wright and Hatoful Boyfriend is already here. We need Dangan Ronpa.
I haven't finished it yet, I'm about 12 hours in. I don't think I get why everyone seems to love it. It's good, but the characters seem over-the-top at times.
