I see that apparently this word is used by a character in a videogame called
danganropa. It's a word like boku, atashi or something like that? Or it's
something different? It's used to call yourself superior or something like
that maybe? Maybe it's her nickname?

What does 私様 means?
It's a sort of 役割語{やくわりご}, though I don't any other character in fiction that
uses it. 私様{わたくしさま} makes her 'regal' personality sound both queenly and
extremely arrogant, which is the exact vibe she is going for. Interestingly,
in the first game she pairs it with more modern 'regal, haughty woman' speech,
but in the second it's an older style. For example, in the first she would
probably phrase 'I have been waiting for you!' as 私様は待っていたわよ while using that
personality, but in the second she'd phrase it as 私様は待っておったぞ.

It means “I/me/myself” but it is unusual to use this form rather than わたし or
わたくし. Referring to yourself (or your inner circle) with an honorific is very
impolite. These titles (such as さん, 氏, or 様) are typically used to refer to
others, just like you don't call yourself "Mr/Ms", "Sir/Madam", "the Right
Honorable", or "Majesty". It comes across as over-confident and arrogant,
belittling those you are speaking to.

You may encounter this in fiction as part of characterization. These are not
situations that would occur in daily life. It would be rare to hear this in
conversational Japanese and should not be used out of context, especially with
people you don't know, are older than you, or are more senior.
