Envision an institution where graduation isn't merely a rite of passage but a golden ticket to a successful life. Among this elite batch, our seemingly ordinary protagonist, Naegi, finds himself inexplicably drawn into the labyrinth of this high-class school, only to be plunged into a chilling game of life and death. The school is under the ominous rule of a peculiar bear, Monokuma, who unveils a sinister decree - the path to graduation is paved with blood.
