I woke up on top of a hard desk.
My entire body was awfully weary.
I fell asleep in the middle of a boring class before, of course, but...
...But, why am I sleeping on top of this desk right now?
Even stranger, this is a classroom I've never seen before.

Tutorial
Welcome to Hope's Peak Academy! Allow me to explain some basic controls, if you please.
You may move the on-screen target using the analog stick.
On any occasion the target lights up, you may push the circle button to investigate what lies under it.
Furthermore, you may use the directional buttons, as well as the L and R buttons to move your point of view around.
I humbly suggest starting by exploring this classroom.

The time is... just past 8.
I went into the school around 7:10. Did an hour really pass already?

Is this... a security camera?
The world has become dangerous lately. I wonder if it was set up to keep suspicious people out.

W... What's this?
If this is a classroom, this is where the window will usually be. But instead...
What looks like iron plates have been bolted into the walls.
When I tried hitting them with my fist...
*bang bang*
As I thought, they're iron plates. They look quite solid and thick, too.
But what's really important is -- why are there even iron plates here in the first place?

It's the desk I was sleeping on top of until a few minutes ago. There are still traces of saliva on it.

"A revolutionary new world awaits you bastards inside these school walls."
Huh.
What is this thing? Someone's idea of a prank?

Did I faint out of excitement once I stepped into the entrance hall, and someone carried me into this classroom?
In that case, this classroom must be inside the school building.

Something's weird. Something isn't right.
The iron plates bolted on top of the windows... This overwhelming prison-like atmosphere...
I don't understand what it all means.

When in the corridor, you may push the triangle button to gaze upon a map much like the one currently on the screen.
Pushing the triangle button one more time will make the map disappear. Isn't that splendid!

"Despair Hotel"?
It looks like the entrance to a dormitory building. I should really go to the entrance hall, though.

They waited.

They were the Super High-school Level students chosen by Hope's Peak Academy.
I slowly looked around at the faces of the kids around me.
It's probably an exaggeration to say they had a special aura around them.

So, yeah, I’m keeping them in, because they’re useful and can’t really be successfully removed in this type of work.
So, honorifics. In Japan, you usually add them to a person’s name when speaking to them or about them. Not using an honorific at all is reserved to family and close friends, and doing it to someone else is considered very rude.
-kun mainly serves two roles: it’s an all-purpose male honorific used between young people of the same age (say, classmates), and it’s also used when someone in charge addresses their subordinates, regardless of their age or sex.
And now, on to the rant already in progress.

"We have other pressing issues at hand, but first we must introduce ourselves.", is it?
If that's the case, now is my great chance.
I already looked up information about everyone here on the Internet, but now I get to see what these guys are really like...
