Subsequently, the Deductive Rhythm (DR) changes. You're no longer figuring things out at your own pace. All of the sudden, someone else is controlling the flow of the argument. This might not sound all that different from answering questions as you would at any other point in the trial, but there's one little twist in showdowns you won't find anywhere else.

In a showdown you will have to answer a series of questions from the person you're facing off against. Sometimes a prosecutor or a witness simply won't be able to contain themselves and will shout something out, triggering a showdown.

As long as you've played the first two games or seen them in some form, you're good to go. I would also recommend playing Danganronpa V3 prior to playing Danganronpa Forge:Re, but it's not totally necessary. You should not play Danganronpa Forge:Re if you have not seen the entirety of the first Danganronpa and Danganronpa 2. However, I just want to point out that while Danganronpa Forge:Re uses a lot of pre-established character, it will not spoil anything significant from the works they are from. But it's a lot of fun writing these characters that many of us have grown to know and love and to try to imagine how they would interact with each other. So in a way, you can think of Danganronpa Forge:Re as just one giant work of fan-fiction.

As for the rest of Danganronpa Forge:Re, while the story is an original one of my own creation, all of the characters are pre-existing characters from various games and visual novels. In particular, I drew a lot of inspiration for the trial segments from Dai Gyakuten Saiban, one of Ace Attorney's latest releases (which was unfortunately not officially brought overseas). While at its core the game is still very Danganronpa-esque, the trial segments draw heavily from the courtroom segments of Ace Attorney. However, upon thinking it over for a while, I decided to make this more like a mashup of Danganronpa and the Ace Attorney series. Danganronpa Forge:Re is a game borne out of a love for-well-Danganronpa! Originally it was conceived purely as a sort of tribute to Danganronpa, having a story set in a Danganronpa-esque universe while emulating Danganronpa's signature style and gameplay.
