Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair is a visual novel adventure game developed by Spike Chunsoft Co., Ltd. and Abstraction Games; published by Spike Chunsoft Co., Ltd. This is the second installment from the Danganronpa series.

Set in the Jabberwock Island, a remote yet beautiful tropical island. Students of Hope’s Peak Academy were brought here as a simple field trip led by their teacher, a small rabbit-like mascot named Usami. All was going well and everybody was having fun until their principal, a bear-like mascot named Monokuma announces that the students will be stuck in the island forever, unless they kill another student without getting caught. The students will then have a class trial where there will be non-stop debates in defending their arguments.

The game has 2 styles of gameplay: School life and Class Trial. The School Life gameplay has 2 sections. First the Daily Life where the players are allowed to interact with each other, letting the story progress. Second is the Deadly Life, this is when a crime scene is revealed and you must search for evidence that you will be able to use in the class trial. The Class Trial which is the second part of gameplay is when you are all gathered together to discuss who the killer is. You must be keen in determining which is the truth and look for weak points in their deliberation.
