A downloadable game for Windows

"Nobody can be a person without other people, that's what I've always known."

In this Danganronpa fangame, Hikari and 13 other guests are in the Reflection System, a system where they are meant to face certain "truths" of themselves through poetry and communication. However, it seems like that system may not last long...


Jikoronpa: Laments of Isolation is a fangame for the series Danganronpa from Spike Chunsoft. It has no official relations to it and is completely non-profit. This game may contain sensitive topics or implied mentions of topics such as abuse or suicide. There will also be depictions of gore as well. If you may feel uncomfortable with these things, please exercise caution before playing.


NOTE: If there's any bugs at all, let me know!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

Updates:


Version 3.2 - Release of Chapter 3's Trial! (You are now able to check evidence during non-stop debates as well)

Version 3.1 - Release of Chapter 3’s Investigation!

Version 3.0 - Release of Chapter 3’s Daily Life!

Version 2.1 - Release of some bonus event interactions, and a fix for a major bug in Chapter 1's trial

Version 2.0 - Release of Chapter 2's Daily Life, Investigation, and Trial

Version 1.1 - Lots of minor wording changes to the text, minor visual updates, etc. Most importantly, bonus scenes between characters are out, and every sprite has been redrawn in a more recent style.

Version 1.0.7 - Some daily life scenes adjusted to be less lengthy/repetitive dialogue. Most of the scenes and interactions remain intact, but with edited dialogue. I aim to make Chapter 2's Daily Life still have an important focus on the character interactions, but also have it not drag on unnecessarily.

Version 1.0.6 - According to some feedback, I've tried to cut out some unnecessary lines of dialogue throughout the investigation and add some minor statements meant to foreshadow the culprit as well. I also updated the controls of the trial and improved the non-stop debate animations. 

Version 1.0.5 - Added Kazuyuki's, Asuka's, Maon's, and Ikki's Freetime Events

Version 1.0.4 - Added Kolette's Freetime Events

Version 1.0.3 - Added Seinosuke's Freetime Events

Version 1.0.2 - Fixed an error in which the evidence menu wrongly displays certain evidence in the wrong section (Such as the "toolbox" evidence appearing instead of the "unlocked door" evidence when you try to click it)

Version 1.0.1 - Three more characters' Freetime Events added + some minor bug fixes

Version 1.0 - Release Version

Just finished the chapter 3 trial, congratulations on another great release! It always excites me to see how far this game has gone and how much the character develops. The new opening video, the transition animations, and all were exciting. Really looking forward to chapter 4!

Just some minor feedback, would it be possible to make a way to check evidence during the question minigames in trials? Or is there already a way? Especially when the evidence tends to be "Chiyuki's Testimony" vs. "Ryuusuke's Testimony" and so forth it, I've always found it becomes difficult to keep track of which bullet point is what. I'd also appreciate it if all the controls could be re-explained before the first reappearance of each minigame. With the armament argument parallel, I couldn't figure out which button it was to clear the screen of the generic arguments this time around.

Thanks for all the team has done and hoping for your future success!

Thank you for the feedback! I’ll try to look into adding a system where you can check evidence during the debates, though I’m unsure if it’d be easy to do so. And I must have forgotten to add some mechanic reminders before some minigames, so I’ll fix that when I can as well.

Thanks, only suggestions. I'll be there either way! 🫡 

I believe I've successfully added checking the evidence during the non-stop debates!

Thanks, that ought to be really helpful!

Loved all the twists and turns in chapter 3! :D

i found a bug during the 3 class trial

when you need to press on the ryuu statement (i forgot the name of this minigame, sorry) game crushes

hope it helps!

(i'm not english so sorry for any mistakes in the message)

I believe I've fixed it with the most recent upload! If it still doesn't work, please let me know and I'll try to fix it again.

i reinstalled the game, and it works! thank you

can someone drop a link to playlist with soundtracks from this fangame? (i love them)

Really fantastic game! I binged it over two days, and tomorrow I will replay to do all the freetime events I’ve missed.

I’m enjoying the characters and the mysteries very much. This is one of my favorite Danganronpa fangames! :)

I enjoyed what I played, but unfortunately I encountered a game breaking bug during the first trial.

It happened during "Chapter 1. Trial part 12" specifically during the part where you have to accuse a character of carrying out a certain action.

I picked the correct character, but the game told me my choice was wrong. I then tried everyone else, and they were all wrong, too.

I checked the Youtube playthrough of the game to confirm that I was indeed correct. 

Unfortunately, I was unable to continue playing the game.

I was playing on version 2.0, if it helps.

Thank you for informing me! I’ll try to fix it as soon as I can.

I fixed this bug! Thank you for informing me of it!

The case and the trial were really impressive! I'll be watching for chapter 2!

I found the first chapter excellent. We get a good idea of who everyone is, the dynamics between the characters are established, I got attached to several of them, and overall I loved the writing. I didn't expect much from a fanganronpa's class trial, but it was pretty fun too.

I enjoyed the demo
