The creator of Danganronpa has released a new game that he recommends you play after Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Kazutaka Kodaka, the creator of the acclaimed Danganronpa series, has launched his latest project, Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy, just after the debut of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. The latter title, a JRPG inspired by the classics of the genre, has been a resounding success, selling 1 million copies in just three days. Despite the enormous attention that Clair Obscur has received, Kodaka remains optimistic about the future of Hundred Line, a game that aims to become a cult gem thanks to its ambitious narrative and unique gameplay structure.

A game without much fanfare, but that is already gaining a cult status

Hundred Line has garnered praise from critics and players for its intricate narrative that unfolds alongside the gameplay. However, Kodaka and his team at Too Kyo Games faced financial difficulties during development, even resorting to a loan to complete the project. Despite having the backing of Aniplex, funding became complicated as the scope of the game expanded. Kodaka, commenting on the situation, joked that what remains now is to hope that sales are successful.

Amid the uproar surrounding Clair Obscur, Kodaka has expressed confidence that both titles can coexist and attract different audiences. In his recent comments, he invited players to explore Hundred Line suggesting that, once they finish their expedition in Clair Obscur, they will find time to enjoy his new game. This openness to competition highlights not only his confidence in Hundred Line but also his desire to offer players a unique experience in the current landscape of video games.
