Next! Danganronpa 4 - Despair Beyond Hope

Welcome to DR4!

Dear Readers!

My name is Chanel and I'm the sole creator of Danganronpa 4: Despair Beyond Hope.

Before I begin I would like to clarify that Danganronpa 4: Despair Beyond Hope is a fan-adaptation and is not affiliated with Spike Chunsoft.

This has been something I've wanted to do for an entire decade, and have actively been working on producing for 8 years, going back to the creation of the cast all the way back in 2016.

Going into this, I have to thank the community following the project already through my X account, and those who found us from our promotional material (Apologies for the spoilers) on YouTube.

This is a passion project of mine, three times in the real world I've published books and I usually write my nonsense fan based ideas here on Wattpad, and usually not in the style of a book. For this project I was very much debating on if this should be written script style similar to Danganronpa 69, or like a book, and decided in the end to go for a mix of both, so going into this, you will be reading the daily life in the style of a book, but class trials will be in the style of a script.

I sincerely hope you the reader enjoy Danganronpa 4, as much as I have loved working with amazing voice actors, artists and writers in bringing this to fruition.

More than £5,000 has been invested into this project and I expect not a penny of it back. If even ten people enjoy this Fan-adaptation, It will be money very well spent!

I'd like to thank:

Martyn for coming up with the original character concepts
YouTuber SHSL Blaze, for sharing one of the body discoveries on their channel
Archer and Pat for workshopping writing styles with me to develop each character
Markchu and Ayruu for bringing the characters to life in art
Chozo for creating all the body discoveries
Destin Glowe for voicing Shima Tetsuhara.
Jamie Marchi for voicing Junko Enoshima.

And everyone else who has supported us along the way!
But most importantly, to you the reader.
All of this hard work, love, time, money, and dedication; is for you.

Please Enjoy Danganronpa 4.

In a tragic data loss, all the voice lines you recorded that were to be used as videos within this story, were lost. But I want to thank all of you, your voice work brought these characters to life and I could have never written them with this amount of magic, if it weren't for you all.
