(As an outsider, it is frankly mind-blowing to see Stephanie, the pink-haired preteen protagonist of LazyTown, occupying panels where she is brutally cross-examining her fellow murder witnesses) Like LazyRonpa, Penguinronpa is told through an Instagram grid, which is surprisingly adept at replicating the visual novel experience. They have a profound fondness for 'LazyRonpa,' which takes the candyland denizens of the Nickelodeon children's show LazyTown, and injects them into a dark, eldritch murdersport.

Tofu tells me that they were inspired by a number of fan-made visual novel mashups that translate the 'Ronpa' format into some other ill-fitting universes. 'I've always loved writing and drawing, so it was only a matter of time before I got the urge to make my own ' they say. And yet, Tofu is already on the fourth chapter – and the fate of these good penguins hangs in the balance.

As you might glean from its name, Tofu's visual novel is a thematic mashup of both Club Penguin and the Danganronpa franchise. But Tofu, and Penguinronpa, stand out from the crowd by their sheer chaotic chutzpah. Most of them settle on a feeling of displaced nostalgia young people yearning for a time when they were even younger and life was much simpler. YES NOThere have been dozens of different fan tributes to Club Penguin since the game was discontinued.
