Danganronpa: Descent is a survival game produced by a higher figure (identity unknown) as a test to see "What talent reigns above all in a contest of survival?" A group of 21 were chosen in order to test this. In a specially-crafted proving ground, one lucky Charm (protagonist) finds herself pitted against 20 other gifted individuals in Descent, a game that will test the merit of mankind's struggle to survive. What stands between us and oblivion? Is it power over others, knowledge of the truth, unity, pushing our limits, devotion to a higher purpose, or is it something as nebulous as fortune? Or perhaps when all is tested, we discover there is really nothing standing between us and the final edge?
