Season 4

Season 4 is a Danganronpa × Persona crossover game, for which signups were posted on July 5, 2019 and ended officially on January 30, 2020. There were 18 participants (not including the host character) and had a total of 8 chapters.

Plot
This game is overall a continuation of Persona 4 and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax canon, where the true killer was found and turned himself in for his crimes. After an unspecified amount of time, he was then sent to the Jungian Research Facility to take part in the Tri-Study Project alongside the other 18 participants.

The story behind their purpose there was revealed slowly through a series of letters posted on the doors after a chapter went by, and it was eventually discovered that the point of the Study was to 'rehabilitate' Tohru Adachi, and the Main Director had a team of Traitors that observed by posing as innocent participants. The Director proposed that, by targeting him and making him suffer with both the support and opposition of the others, the criminal could be reformed. If the Director was not discovered during the final trial, these 'killing games' would continue in hopes to reform multiple criminals at once.

Because the Mastermind was discovered, the Good End was unlocked.

Trivia

 * This was the first game that included characters from sources other than Danganronpa.
 * Several new features were added in this game, including post-chapter stories, proper murder files, and an almost accidental accomplice kill.
 * It was originally going to be a strictly Persona-themed game, but Danganronpa was added out of the concern that not enough people would want to sign up.
