The player controls a high school student named Makoto Naegi. Makoto is invited to a school called Hope's Peak Academy along with 14 other students. Hope's Peak Academy is led by a robot bear named Monokuma. Monokuma tells the students that they are trapped inside the school, and that only way to leave the school is by killing another student. Throughout the game, Makoto and the other students must solve various murders that happen inside the school.
