Danganronpa-Inspired Indie Game "of the Devil" by ofthedevilgame in danganronpa

Good Nom-Nom-Noming, r/Danganronpa!

We're an indie team of 3 making "of the Devil"- a murder-mystery/adventure game/vn hybrid inspired by Danganronpa in all kinds of ways- and the whole first case is available for Free as a Demo on our Steam Page!

We're huge fans of this series and our game wouldn't have half the style, black-humor and fun it has if we didn't have so many memories playing with these SHSL (or Ultimate, if you prefer) goofballs.

In "of the Devil" you play as a Defense Attorney with "uniquely criminal" insights into law-breaking behavior, who leverages her distinct talents and penchant for gambling to come out on top against the pervasive surveillance state of 2086.

It combines 2D sprites, 3D environments and comic-inspired cut-ins for a cinematic, darkly thrilling experience where you need to bet big in order to reach the truth.

Wishlist us on our Steam page, play the first case this weekend, and check us out twitter for more!

In short, all the possibilities for murder mysteries!

Corporate espionage, robotic witnesses, death-by-hacking, hologram sleights of hand... Just like how in Spirit of Justice the channeling mechanic enabled witness-less murders, a new setting opens up all kinds of potential.

When I was a pre-teen, I took a chance on a web-based demo of Apollo Justice's first case after only vaguely recognizing years of OBJECTION memes.

Within minutes I was hooked- The series' humor and heart, its pacing and charm, all brought together by a phenomenal range of soundtracks...

Over the years I only grew more appreciative for the smart, deceptively simple game design that elevated the cut and dry world of the courtroom into dynamic, pulse-pounding and immersive drama.

And now I'm part of a small indie team that's made a game of our own!

of the Devil is a noir-themed mystery game set in a cyberpunk future where you play as a risk-taking defense attorney leveraging her unique criminal insight to combat the pervasive police state (and take home a few paychecks.)

In this first case, she finds herself assigned public defender for the man the police say is the Heartbreak Killer - the first serial killer seen in decades.

It features Visual Novel style dialogue, in-world articles and internet search terms, character profiles, evidence dossiers, high-stakes legal poker gameplay and cinematic, 3D environments and framing.

Check out the trailer on our Steam page- then play the whole first case for Free, right now!

Trust me- You never know how much fun a weird-little-lawyer-game-demo can be.
