Danganronpa is one of those franchises that you either have no idea about it or you love it. At least, that's what I gathered from forum postings because I never really heard of it before nor really cared. However, the news that Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc is coming to the PC via Steam is getting some people really excited.Danganronpa Comes to Steam
Spike Chunsoft has been dropping clues and now it’s time for the big reveal: Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc fires onto Steam this February! The fast-paced murder mystery will be the first of many titles we plan to publish via Steam.
We also launched a Twitter account and Facebook page to bring our games and developers closer to the English-language community. Our door is open to discuss our plans for Steam and future projects.
Game Overview
Hope's Peak Academy—home to the nation's best and brightest high school students...and your new prison. You and your classmates have been trapped here, forced into a winner-takes-all killing game. You'll have to solve the mystery of the school to survive, but be careful what you wish for—sometimes there’s nothing more deadly than the truth...
Game Features
• Daily Life, Deadly Life: Trapped in a school-turned-prison, students are murdering each other one by one. You’ll have to investigate each incident, search for clues, and talk to your classmates to try and get to the bottom of each brutal case!
• Mock Trial: The nefarious Monokuma serves as judge, jury, and executioner as you engage in deadly wordplay, going back and forth with suspects, dissecting their statements and firing their words back at them to expose their lies!
• Popularity Contest: Sway classmates to your side in each investigation, squeezing information from them to figure out who did it. And when you do, turn up the heat in a variety of timing and reflex-based game systems to uncover the truth and save your skin!

Also the game came first, while the animé was produced later (as an adaptation from the game). So watch the show AFTER playing to avoid spoilers. Seems there's still people out there who think playing the game spoils the animé. Kind of like Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni, or Umineko No Naku Koro Ni. Or, Gyakuten Saiban I guess (or Ace Attorney as it is known outside of Japan)...
One last thing. Pretty excited to see this is the year the finale of this Danganronpa's storyline coming soon as an animé. The next game already in production will involve a new setting, timeline, and characters. So the animé will instead be the way to end the original storyline. Curiously enough, the next game is called Danganronpa V3 to differentiate from the animé's Danganronpa 3.
Edit: Saw the trailer. VERY GOOD VOICE ACTING (was worried that we'd be stuck with the Japanese voice acting, where everyone sounded quiet and lacking dramatic impact, and Monokuma sounded very awkward with his laughs, so using English voice acting is a relief, which is something I normally don't say). Bit surprised the trailer showed a spoiler glimpse at the ending though. I mean... Who puts a preview of the ending in a trailer?
