Atonement

Summary:

A group of characters wake up one by one in what they discover to be a mansion, with no recollection of how they got there. They soon learn that they were kidnapped and placed there by a mastermind whose intentions are initially unknown. The player, along with their allies/enemies they make along the way must find a way to escape and stop the mastermind.

However, the only way to escape is to successfully get away with murder. Not murdering someone within a given timeframe will send every character to their death, thus punishing everyone for their inactivity. When someone is murdered, every innocent character must investigate and discover who the perpetrator is, eventually going through a sort of court trial to confront each other. If the perpetrator isn’t discovered as the killer, they get to go home and everyone is killed. However if they are discovered, they are the ones that have to die and atone for their sins.

Unknowingly to every character, they all have committed some sort of crime in their past, typically ending in the death of another innocent person’s life. They all have memory loss and can’t recollect what they’ve done, but slowly start to remember as they’re driven to murder each other.

The mansion that the cast is staying in is enclosed on land owned by the mastermind that is in the middle of nowhere – there is no life anywhere for acres of land so there is no escape. The view outside looks too good to be true, perfect despite their entrapment.

This game is loosly based on the danganronpa series.
