These devs basically made their own Danganronpa, and I already feel at home in its mysterious Steam Next Fest demo

Kumitantei: Old-School Slaughter is 🃏a riff on Danganronpa set in the 1980s with its own colorful cast of talented characters to meet (before they get murdered)

Danganronpa sickos like me will never stop asking for a new one, even if we understand why that's unlikely to actually happen. Which is why I have to applaud Kumitantei: Old-School Slaughter, which has a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Steam Next Fest demo, for carrying the torch forward. Developed by Mango Factory, the opening of this killing game murder mystery feels like playing a Danganronpa fan game, and I seriously mean that with love. Our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Steam Next Fest guide details everythin꧋g you need to know about this season's demos.

It's great to see a take on the Danganronpa-flavored killing game format from a fresh perspective with new creatives. After all, while some thought The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy, f൩rom some🔯 of the Danganronpa creators, was veering too close to that series at first, post-launch it became clear it was actually a very different thing. As great as that game is (w🎃ith plenty of nods towards killing games), it does mean some fans ar🌺e left wondering where they can get another game like Danganronpa. This dev studio's answer was to make its own!

Let's start with the massive similarities to Danganronpa, a murder mystery killing game that sees a group of students – each an 'Ultimate' in some field (such as Ulti꧂mate Programmer) ꦐ– trapped in Hope's Peak Academy and forced to play a killing game to escape. In Kumitantei, a group of 'Absolutes' are trapped in the elite Janus Institute and forced to play a killing game. Even the presentation, how you explore, UI, and character designs nods towards Danganronpa an awful lot.
