Rated 17 by ESRB, the storyline of this game follows a young man named Makoto Naegi who wins a raffle and is admitted into a school which accepts the brightest and most brilliant minds around; these students are called “Ultimates”. Enrolled into the academy as the Ultimate Lucky Student, Makoto soon finds himself trapped with fourteen other new joinees who are all imprisoned within the academy by a mysterious figure who is voicing himself or herself through a wicked remote-controlled bear named Monokuma. Monokuma tells the students that the only way they can make their way out of the academy alive is by killing one another and not getting identified as the culprit. After a murder is committed, the students must stand trial against each other and identify the person responsible for the killing, if they do then they can keep their lives and the murderer is executed brutally, however, if they don’t identify the actual perpetrator they all die and the murderer gets his or her freedom.

The player plays as Makoto Naegi and is required to investigate the heinous crimes that are committed by one among the posse of unfortunate students who are caught in Makoto’s game. The game is split into many chapters and each chapter offers two styles of gameplay, i.e., School Life and Class Trials. School Life is divided into two segments, i.e., Daily Life and Deadly Life. In Daily Life, the player scours the academy in first-person perspective and progresses through the story by acquainting himself or herself with other students and gaining information from them that could be useful during a trial. In Deadly Life, the player has to gather all the evidence that he or she can after a murder happens and before the trial takes place. The Class Trials is the most important feature of this game where students have to discuss among themselves in order to ascertain the assailant.
