Anybody else all up on this? I gave it a try once the LP went up into the archive (you can find it here, and there is also an LP of the sequel underway, and yes to use Biscuit's incredibly useful phrase, I am "obsessively current" on its evens so far). The LPer in question, orenronen, described it as the lovechild of Phoenix Wright and Battle Royale. That's exactly right, which is why I thought I'd mention it here -- I know Elliot is a PW fan so Dangan Ronpa would be right up his alley. The characters are definitely full-on anime/manga thoroughbreds, which is to say that you have to approach them with THAT CERTAIN ANIME/MANGA MINDSET, which I rarely do, but these guys hooked me! They're a memorable bunch and it is awful fun to watch them hang out and bond and occasionally kill each other. Oh, right. If you never heard, and couldn't figure it out from the bitchin' comparison up there, each DR game features a group of high school students who are required to murder the shit out of each other while Two-Face Pedobear giggles and pulls strings. And then there are trials coo er gosh It's all good fun and will also ring a chord with the Mafia fans out there (it would be really easy to convert DR to a Mafia-like game, although, shit, I don't know, you'd have to think of six or seven game-breaking twists to pile on at the end). I recommend it.

I see so much of it on my dashboard every day, it's kind of amazing.
It's one of those things I need to get into but keep forgetting to set time aside for
