## Introduction

"*Ayaka Kaneko (at least, she thinks that's her name) wakes up in a strange hospital overgrown with vines and vegetation. Soon, she meets 13 other talented students who are shoved into a killing game in an abandoned town with no prior knowledge to how and when they got there. More problems arise once Ayaka realizes she has no idea who she really is, and now she must survive so she can recover her past.*

*Who will be discovered as the victim?*

*Who will be discovered as the blackened?*

*Who will survive long enough to tell their story?*"

## Zombie Bios

### REGULAR

Original zombies that were formed through necromancy by Hizumi Shinigami, the Super High School Level Necromancer. They are known to be rather slow, but are dangerous in groups. Typically stays in dark, damp spaces and are sensitive to sound. It is recommended to stay quiet when encountering these types.

### PARASITIC

These zombies were created by the Super High School Level Scientist through the creation of a mind-controlling parasite. They are similar to the regular zombies, however the only difference is that they are significantly faster and will immediately sprint at a possible food source/host when spotted. They infect their victims through transferring offspring of the parasite into the victim’s mouth or ears. Typically stays near fields or open spaces. It is recommended to avoid open areas as much as possible and to stay in high places.

### MIMICS

Mimics are the most dangerous kind of zombie. They were created through similar means as the parasitics, however they were modified to be incredibly intelligent and will use the host’s memories to analyze their behaviors and “mimic” them to blend in. The one defining factor that will help identify this type is their appetite and sleeping patterns; They will be significantly hungrier and will sleep much more than usual. They don’t stay in one spot often, only wherever humans are. Hajime Hinata/Izuru Kamukura was infected by a mimic and had to be permanently detained.

### (Potential) Minigames in Trials

The Danganronpa Z fangames will contain most of the minigames from the official mainline Danganronpa games, with a few new ones.

#### Despair Kombat (Working title)

Fighting-game-esque minigame replacing BTB/PTA/AA in class trials. The player has the choice to choose someone else in the class trial besides Ayaka as long as they have all friendship fragments of the specific fighter they want to play as, each participant/fighter having a different set of stats and abilities. The **K.O.** is still similar to that of the final blow in PTA in Goodbye Despair: creating a four-segment phrase by pressing the buttons in the correct order; This event occurs when the enemy's health bar is low enough.

This minigame will also be available in the Extras tab on the main menu, except players may fight and fight as not only characters in Danganronpa Z, but also characters from Trigger Happy Havoc, Ultra Despair Girls, Goodbye Despair, and Killing Harmony with varying levels of difficulty depending on the character.

#### No current title

This minigame is triggered in the rare event the player performs a **Perjury**, in which the player must prove to their opponent their lie is actually the truth. During the investigation, minor events will occur which may provide the player with **Lie Daggers**; Unlike Truth Bullets, the player will not be using all of the Lie Daggers they obtain. The gameplay itself is similar to Rebuttal Showdown.
