Do you think you will ever check out Raincode? It's made by the same people who made DR but with a more focus on mystery. (It has the same vibes and stuff, I feel like you would like it a lot) another thing, the writing is so banger

Yes, I've already played Raincode!! Really enjoyed it, especially for the DR-like vibe and I actually made charms of the main cast:

I have sketches of Yomi and Yakou that I've been meaning to add to this set for ages but haven't been able to bring myself to refine them ;v; Makes me happy when people recognize the Raincode merch at cons tho! I'm really excited for Kodaka's new game too, I haven't played the demo yet!

#i think raincode just didnt have the same grip as DR for me #while i enjoyed it a lot and the general plot kept me hooked i think there were plot points that i wish had been explored more #and the ending was a bit predictable to me which doesnt necessarily make it bad but it set it up to be very shocking and then it was kinda #like yeah... saw that coming ages ago #i think there was a lot i wanted from the premise of the game that it just didnt provide which tbf happens quite often in DR too #but i think the biggest thing is that the characters in raincode feel a bit one dimensional and dont really get devloped as much as id like #now i played before the DLC content was released and have yet to play the DLC so ik that the charas get more fleshed out in that but the #game felt a little bit incomplete to me without that #i think dr appeals to me so well bc the main plot of the game allows for extremely strong archetypes of characters so even when theyre bein #comically over the top or die off early there's still a lot of room for personal headcanons and theories #but raincode misses the mark on that just a tiny bit #perhaps its also just that the cast is so small too #i like the dr murder mysteries bc whether im attached to the victim or murderer or hate their guts im personally invested in the trials #with raincode i didnt like that most of the mysteries felt so impersonal and the NPCs more often than not were generic #it def removed a layer of investment for me #ALL THAT TO SAY. I DONT DISLIKE RAINCODE #like i said i really enjoyed it and i think chapter 3?? Or whichever chapter they infiltrate the school in was my favorite specifically bc #it actually does kinda hit the mark with having NPC's with proper designs and also i really like desuhiko and his ability despite him being #the “pervert” archetype #all of this is mostly reflection on why it doesnt have as much of a vice grip as danganronpa has on me even after all these years #but as a game it was really fun to play and i did enjoy the overall storyline #i think yomi mightve been my next kokichi if his writing didnt flop so hard towards end game #he was so my type of character and then he just kinda. ended up doing nothing.#also i think makoto is ugly. no offense. send tweet #askibble #OH ONE MORE THING i really enjoyed the initial chapter and how the game opens up but im really mad that they didnt call back to the prologu #detectives at all #like i really thought maybe they'd at least haunt the narrative but nooppee #i really like that one girl pucci. or wahtegver her name was #ive been wanting to replay it recently tbh
