Chapter Text
Hope’s Peak Academy is a massive high school that towers over all the buildings in this bustling urban area, making it seem as though this school stands at the center of the entire world.
A government-funded school of privilege, this academy brings in top students from every field imaginable.
The school was built to raise hope in the nation’s future…Which makes Hope’s Peak a pretty fitting name.
There are two things you need to attend this school. First, you must already be attending high school. Second, you have to be the very best at what you do. No ordinary student could enroll here; the only way in is if you’re scouted by the school itself.

Puhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhu….
Don’t you think that this is getting repetitive? I mean, how many times can you slog through the same introductions over and over and over and oVEr and OVer and OVER and-
Ahem.
I can tell you’re getting bored, and that’s totally understandable! Just like you, I can’t wait to get to the good part.
But as much as I want to skip right ahead to the fun stuff, I have to share some important information with you all.
First things first, this story contains spoilers for both the Ace Attorney and Danganronpa series- more so on the Ace Attorney games, seeing as this story is all about a carefully selected roster of these characters going through the wondrously despair-ridden experience that is The Killing Games.
Just keep this in mind- though some characters are canonically convicted criminals, that doesn’t guarantee they’ll all be the Blackened- every character has the same odds of becoming either the victim or the killer.
And I do mean eVeRY CHaRaCtER.
Isn’t that fun?
Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, let me explain to you how this story is going to work- kind of like a tutorial. Isn’t that so kind and generous of me?
Anywaaaay, the square brackets are used to reference the “game mechanics.” It’s used when our dear protagonist is thinking something in that big ol’ empty head of his.
Pretty simple, right? It’s also used to describe all the wacky actions each character does while talking.
Welp, that’s about it for now- other mechanics will be explained later on in the story when they’re more relevant.
I hope you have a wonderfully despair-ridden experience!
