It's basically as if Ace Attorney was Battle Royale, you have trials and investigation sections.

It's all text related but there are interactive elements. There always is a debate at the end, when the group debates the events and must come to a conclusion. In this phase there are elements, like shooting down words that you need to prove your point when you argue against someone else.

Anyways, I very much recommend these games. When I watch a movie or series, I'm rarely surprised by the events. But this game has so many twists. And all of them well told and explained.

There is walking and talking to people. In other games like 2 and v3 there are also minigames (v3 minigames even take longer than the main game to finish)

I believe Ultra Despair girls is more of a 3rd person shooter. But like everyone else, I do recommend the franchise; you could try Trigger Havoc as thats the 1st game in the franchise and see how you feel after it. Its a Visual Novel with some gameplay elements; probabbly closing resembling to Ace Attorney but not quite.

The music is also really good.

Primarily visual novel with minor interaction elements such as manually walking around, picking who to talk to, spending 'free time' turns to increase relationship with other students and learn their secrets, along with basic logic minigames.

The games major plot element involves solving mysteries of a sort, where you match plot points against debate claims to try find faults in lines of logic.

I'd say the biggest element of whether a person will like this is how they feel about anime, as this is heavy on the character tropes (deliberately), and can vary between not taking itself seriously and being zany, and surprising you with how seriously it takes certain things. One of my favourite series but something I don't think I'd be able to bring myself to play again, as it can be a slog.

Where to begin. I would say I'm not really a fan of VNs. If it's simply clicking on the "next" button to go to another page if you will then that isn't really my thing. There needs to be other elements than just that for me to consider trying it. There's other elements that you and others have mentioned like mini games, exploring etc., so there seems to be RPG elements in it. I am a big JRPG fan, so I do like story. I believe there's VNs that do have combat in them, which those are more in line with an RPG.

When it comes to anime, I don't really consider myself an anime fan, although I do like some things I've watched. When I was growing up it first came to the USA, but it was known as Japanimation, not anime. I really loved Akira, Vampire Hunter D, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Ninja Scroll, Robotech, and Hellsing. There's wasn't channels on TV to watch this stuff back then so you'd go to a video rental store like Blockbuster Video, so it was limited on what there was to watch. I've seen parts of the Dragon Ball series, but the I'm just not into the goofy stuff that I would see in it, I liked the more serious parts like the battles. I really enjoy the horror and sci-fi genres. There's an old one called Wicked City that I thought looked cool, I've wanted to watch.

In that case I'd probably suggest giving this a miss. Much of the time is essentially clicking 'next', or some variety of it (a room with various interactables, where talking to a specific person moves on to the next scene), so unless you can vibe with the unfolding drama and handle the deliberately trope-heavy zaniness, it's likely going to bore you. The two hour refund window won't be enough to see the first chapter to its conclusion and it takes a while to build steam, tbh.

Another game by Spike Chunsoft is RainCode, which is far heavier on the deduction side of things, but has much less interpersonal oomf (mysteries often involve strangers so the emotional payoff is drastically lower), and still has VN-style padding and anime trope fatigue. Rates lower in general from people due to the cast being a lot more transient (each case/chapter cycles them most of them out).

There's always the classic which suffers less terrible tropes and conversation fatigue, focusing more on puzzles and diverging progression : Zero Escape The Nonary Games. Which is a bit older now, but considered a classic (and has the first two games of the trilogy in one).

Wow this is surprisingly low price. The last historical low was 6 years ago (-80%) and I thought it would never be so cheap again. And now it's like 1/4 of that.

I had played and beatend Danganronpa 2 and V3 on Steam, played Danganronpa Trigger Havoc back in the day on a handheld, I don't think I will play Ultra Despair Girls as I don't like the gameplay in that one for what I had seen; but at that price, its IMPOSSIBLE to ressist not to buy them. So I got the Danganronpa 1/2/V3 bundle.

Thank you for the heads up on the bundles and their price.

Ah yes, Danganronpa. Great series, wonky gameplay, cool characters, and mixes zany character tropes with random seriousness.
This is effectively the videogame equivalent of what JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is as an anime.

It'll catch you in the feels, it'll make you say "WTF", and will make you chuckle at its absurdity. Its a volatile mix but it works, yet you'll have to endure the stretches of VN sections, so if you want all drama and all action you might not riff well with it at first.
