***Danganronpa: Lapse***, is an in-progress English fangame created by American developer Mythridate. The first chapter of the game was officially launched on September 1st, 2019.

## Synopsis

"10 students find themselves trapped in a luxurious mansion and soon discover there is only one requirement for escape - to kill each other. Follow the story through the student Echo Pine’s eyes as you unravel the secrets of the luxurious mansion, as well as the secrets of your fellow students..." - **Official Synopsis**
## Plot Summary

After some exploration, the students realise that the mansion appears to be heavily dedicated to providing all opportunities for Ultimate students to explore and nurture their talents, sometimes with extremely niche facilities such as a climbing wall for a hypothetical Ultimate Climber and a spa for an Ultimate Masseuse, despite them not being present in their particular group. The students each have a rose gold bracelet, which can interact with digital kiosks around the building. The digital kiosks share a map of the current floor, and when a bracelet is scanned they can provide many functions, such as dispensing food in the kitchen, displaying a list of books in the library, or acting as a terminal to send instant messages to students who access other kiosks in the school.
Echo has a panic attack, wracked with anxiety about not belonging in a group of such extraordinary Ultimate Students, and in fear grabs the main door handle trying to flee the mansion, only to be electrocuted and knocked out. Shocked that the mansion isn't the safehouse they thought it was, the students then learn from an announcement that by volunteering for the Preservation Project they were infact volunteering to participate in a killing game. The killing game will last 7 days, and they must kill a fellow student and not get caught in order to win an unspecified "Ultimate Prize". The students are sealed into the mansion, and anyone trying to escape will be punished, as Echo was for trying to flee through the main door.

## Creation and Development

The game is programmed in the Ren'Py game engine and has a standard 2D visual novel gameplay style. All artwork, scriptwriting and coding was completed by the game's creator, Mythridate, who began work on the project on July 4th, 2019. The artstyle is a mix of Mythridate's own style and the original artstyle of the canon *Danganronpa*.

Mythridate posted the first image for *Danganronpa: Lapse* on August 13th, 2019, which featured silhouettes for the full cast,  and an early prototype build of the prologue was released later that same month on August 21st. The first build of the prologue was released to the public on September 1st,  followed by two updated versions released several weeks later in order to update and standardize character sprites and artwork.

Development on Chapter 1 began soon after the Prologue's first release. The Chapter 1 script was fully written and coded by October 7th, 2019 pending completed artwork. While coding Chapter 1, Mythridate chose to add the option to skip executions at the player's discretion, since they felt "like they (executions) are kinda jarring and scary". Version 1.0 of Chapter 1 was publically released on October 16th, 2019 .
