Is this a horror game or what?

The game Dangan Ronpa is a wonderful example of unexpected comedy. It's supposed to be a horror game in which high-school-aged kids are thrown in an arena together Hunger Games style. But there's a twist: They have to figure out who killed who via their "class trials."

It seems like it would be tragic as "students" make friends and then watch them die. However there is SO MUCH comedy laced in.

A prime example is Touko Fukawa.

The thing with Touko is that, while she seems like a normal bookworm, she has a split personality, and her alternate is Genocide Jack, a notorious serial killer. However, Genocide Jack is one of the funniest characters in the game, spouting lines such as:

Her ironic use of "family-oriented" is unexpected and makes players chuckle, even though the current situation seems dark.

At one point, Touko faints in a morgue, and Genocide Jack wakes up and says, "Whoa, what? Where am I? IS THAT A DEAD BODY? NEAT! But no, seriously, where am I?"

A recurring theme in the game is hope vs. despair, and Genocide Jack always finds herself on the side of hope, despite being capable of mass murder.

Also, it's important to note that the SERIAL KILLER is, ironically, one of only five people who never murder anyone in-game (aside from those who get killed before they have the chance to commit murder themselves). While the others try to pin multiple murders on her, she's innocent every time.

Also, look at her dumb expressions. Like, wow Genocide Jack, you're a dork.
