Update: Looks like it's real and will be announced soon!
Danganronpa looks like an interesting anime styled detective game. With a lot of mystery, interesting quirky characters and a little case of death. The characters seem to only be rendered in 2D but environments seem to differ between both 2D and 3D.
The current Danganronpa Steam page doesn't show Linux support, but if you go to SteamDB it shows Linux file names in the history.
Don’t get to excited yet. I bought the game and downloaded it excitedly but got the dreaded “Missing executable” error, and found out it only downloaded the music. I checked SteamDB again and checked Depots, Mac and Windows have a file size of about 2-3gb's, where as Linux has no size and the extra info tells us it's encrypted.
SteamDB only shows Windows and Mac, but only showed Windows until a couple of days ago, but has had the "linuxclienticon" for several months.
Either way it looks like it'll only be a matter of time before its out on Linux even without any public announcement of it coming yet.
About the game:
Hope's Peak Academy is home to Japan's best and brightest high school students—the beacons of hope for the future. But that hope suddenly dies when Makoto Naegi and his classmates find themselves imprisoned in the school, cut off from the outside world and subject to the whims of a strange, murderous little bear named Monokuma. He pits the students against each other, promising freedom to anyone who can murder a fellow classmate and get away with it.
It's up to you to find out who Monokuma really is, and why you've been taken from the world you once knew. But be careful what you wish for—sometimes there’s nothing more deadly than the truth...
This game also has an anime series and the sequel is coming soon!

Why do visual novels have to always have such whacked out characters and insane art? I don't get it.
A lot of anime does this kind of thing too. So and so is a school boy who is hunting down his father's killer but he is also a demon and has an arm that is made of wood and he can fly and blah blah blah blah... Ta-da! Visual novel / anime of the week.
Well, thanks for the informative reply.
I am really not an anime fan, but when I saw this pop up on SteamDB I looked at it and wishlisted it anyhow because I am a big murder mystery fan... I watched part of the video you linked, and I don't fully understand what is going on, exactly, but it seems like it could be interesting. I don't know that I would spend the asking price on it, but perhaps in the future in a sale or maybe if a demo comes along that could convince me.
As far as animes that I do like go, I like the Ys series and the English dub of Attack on Titan (though I haven't watched it all yet). At one point I went through the descriptions of all the available anime series on Netflix Canada and tried to find ones that sounded appealing, but came up short (AoT was on there, but only subbed.. I don't like reading while trying to watch a show at the same time). I had a couple other suggestions in the past and haven't found them yet, but I'll stick your recommendations on my list of things to look into.
There are some good book-games out there outside of the visual novel genre, too. Tin Man Games have made a few of the Fighting Fantasy books into video games, and they're nicely polished - but they're literally the books made into digital form. I grew up with those kinds of books, mostly the fantasy genre AD&D ones. I enjoyed them at the time. But seems like a different ballgame than most of the anime-style VNs on Steam.
Oh, I also like Long Live the Queen...
