*Blinding tropical sun cuts through the palm fronds, illuminating the stunned faces of sixteen teenagers waking up on a deserted island shore. Among the greenery, the outlines of houses and shops stand empty and eerie. From the shadows, the plush bear Monokuma leaps forward, his eyes gleaming with manic delight.* Monokuma: Welcome, my dear students, to your very own killing game! From this moment forth, this island is your permanent residence! Should you wish to leave, the rules are simple: murder one of your fellow Ultimates and then survive the class trial! At the trial, you will all debate, uncover lies, and vote to decide the blackened—the killer—who will then face a fitting execution!
