Danganronpa: DAWN [α] Project

Danganronpa: DAWN [α] Project

Project Overview

DAWN [α] Project is a Danganronpa-inspired audio drama that follows the story of 16 unique candidates, chosen for a "one-of-a-lifetime" opportunity aboard the DAWN Station. As the candidates explore the station, strange events and mysterious circumstances push them toward unexpected challenges.

The project will be structured as short episodes in between the larger, much longer ones. You’ll get to dive into funny moments, intense moments, and everything in between with these characters.

Important: This project is 16+ due to some uncomfortable and mature content, so please include your age when auditioning.

It is recommended to join the Discord if you are thinking about auditioning. This way, you won't miss any notifications about casting or updates. Please make sure to include your Discord when auditioning. https://discord.gg/tKESAyXswV

There is no AI of any sort used on this project. All of the artwork has been created by @Machiko on Discord.
