Casting
Makoto Karaki, played by Kanata Hongō, was the first character revealed on December 10th, 2019. Hongō previously performed the lead role of Makoto Naegi in the stage adaptations of Kodaka's Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak Academy, as well as providing the voice of Ryota Mitarai in the Danganronpa 3 anime, and Kodaka cast Hongō in the lead role of Death Come True because he loved Hongō's acting and thought he would be a good fit for the role and scenario.

In a statement on the day of his casting, Hongō said:
 * "This is an adventure game with a story that changes according to decisions made by the player. I think it is a new endeavor to produce this all in live-action. The thoroughness of the script is also very good, complete with unique features that can only be found in this game. I wanted to perform acting that couldn't be expressed well in CG so that players could understand why live-action film was chosen for this project".
