“Makoto Kagutsuchi is just a silly, little goober that loves Kanai Ward and all its people :) Okay, jokes aside, this was a really good game. Of course, it has its very fanservice-y and fetish-y moments, but all in all,…”
“If you enjoy Danganronpa you'll enjoy Rain Code. This game is unapologetically Kodaka-coded and it wears Danganronpas DNA proudly. From the artstyle of the 2D-sprites, to the tonal whiplash between dark themes and the…”
“Not a huge fan of the fanservice of the game but if you look past that it's a pretty good game. I really enjoyed it. Honestly grew to like some of the characters I thought seemed ridiculous and irritating.”

“A lot of people complain that this game has far too many cut scenes or dialogue that interrupts gameplay, if you know anything about these developers you should know what you’re getting into first of all the aesthetic…”
“Danganronpa 4 but without the memorable characters, antagonists and cases. If you like DR play it. I know it's unfair to compare it but the gameplay in the mystery labyrinth is basically the same as in the class trials…”
“While it's not masterpiece, I really enjoyed this game, especially its detective and mystery elements. Some of the cases were fascinating to follow, and a few of the plot twists were genuinely brilliant. On the other…”

“Better than I thought, but filled to the brim with tropes. And really, really confusing. Especially in the beginning when new stuff is introduced constantly in a way that assaults your senses. The visuals are amazing.…”

“It's a good game, especially if you're a fan of the Danganronpa series - but there are some caveats. The production values in this game are really great, compared to previous Spike Chunsoft games. The 3D art style, the…”
“this game is so beautiful.. i think i cried a little too frequently whilst playing i love shinigami and yuma so much they are the best duo ever also the music is so???? good???? why cant i find it anywhere im gonna cry…”

“Rain Code just doesn't nearly stand up to Danganronpa or Hundred Line in terms of characters, dialogue, the plot making sense, or fun. Stuffed with fake gameplay (walking forward while an unskippable dialog non-cutscene…”

“Lovely narrative game. Its like danpanronpa if it was just mysteries and the setting was a jrpg city. It feels like a jrpg without any combat. Negative is just that it can feel a little slow sometimes. the substories are very cool if you like the other detectives. They all have…”
— a player, Steam review · 43 hrs played“An interesting and fun twist on the Danganronpa formula, a more traditional murder mystery premise with class trials replaced by the more minigame heavy mystery labyrinths. Overall easier than Danganronpa with a way smaller cast of still fun characters. Story kept me reasonably…”
