This is a recommendation but with a MASSIVE caveat: you CANNOT treat this seriously. Treat it as a group activity. Before elaborating further, I will praise that the game looks and sounds quite good (especially being fully voiced) despite being an indie VN. Very commendable work. The gameplay and route selection is fine for a introductory VN, but if you want more than raw VN goobing then tough luck. Anyways, the rest of the game. We went in expecting this to be a hot mess type story a la Mirai Nikki (hence why I played this with friends) and it surpassed our expectations. It was so good as a group watch that that we felt we had to give it a recommendation despite the following flaws. The story sets itself up as a crime thriller, but fails for myriad reasons. I will redact them for spoiler reasons, but trying to apply logic will leave you baffled. Hence, treat it like a car crash. The other appeals the story can provide are hard to evaluate. The characters are ... interesting. Definitely unique. Not just in a hot mess way but also just, "oh these people have psychosis from the corpses." I can see why you'd enjoy them or appreciate the depictions of their myriad struggles, but I can also see you finding them distastefully written.

Corpse Factory is an underrated indie video game and psychological thriller visual novel with striking visual art, a gripping premise, and emotionally volatile characters who spiral deeper into paranoia and obsession. It heavily delves into the power of social media, the fragility of identity, and the dark extremes people will go to in the name of validation and revenge. Its gritty, collage-inspired art style, stylized character sprites and backgrounds, masterfully crafted ambient sound design and unnerving music score, and stellar voice acting help elevate the game from other visual novels. Corpse Factory shines the brightest in Act 1 by introducing a unique premise and successfully executing a morbidly fascinating narrative. Its clever, stoic, and manipulative protagonist, Noriko Kurosawa, is a psychologically complex and tragically relatable antihero. Her complicated relationships with the other characters, such as Tomoe Watanabe, Shinya Fujikawa, Aoi Satou, and the mysterious Kojiro, are layered and gradually evolve in unpredictable, engaging ways. The compelling plot twists in Act 1 also feel organic and genuinely shocking. However, after Act 1, Corpse Factory starts to lose its razor-sharp focus. The ambitious and sudden shift in perspective among the different characters in Acts 2 and 3 creates uneven pacing and weakens emotional momentum. Insufficient character development occurs, and plot twists become confusing. Corpse Factory's thematically dark and twisted finale ultimately resulted in rushed and ambiguous conclusive plot revelations. The lack of emotional catharsis, poor cohesion in storytelling, and underdeveloped foreshadowing make the ending unsatisfying and raise more questions than it answers, frustrating anyone who invested hours in hopes of reaching a proper conclusion. Thus, Corpse Factory is a bold and original psychological thriller visual novel that starts strong with an incredible atmosphere and a haunting premise but concludes with a stumbling finale.

I couldn't fix her. Or any of them for that matter. This was true misery pron and it really scratched an itch in the "uncomfortable horror" genre. Kudos to the cast who really brought the characters to life in this title. While it was overall visually stunning at times, there were plot holes here and there along the way, however these over-sites didn't really ruin my experience. It could have used a few more drafts but the writing style isn't bad by any means of the imagination. solid 8/10 in the VN department. Will have to check out bonus mode sometime.

This VN is so edgy and chaotic that it's honestly charming lol. It has a nice concept that got me hooked really quickly and kept me invested until the end but towards the second half the story kinda turned into a chaotic mess, at some point it felt like the authors couldn't decide which plot twist to choose so they just included ALL of them at the same time lmao. I decided to perceive the game as a horror/mystery-comedy (kinda like those horror movies with bad acting that are more funny than scary but still addicting to watch) and found it genuinely fun and enjoyable. After all, despite some unrealistically dramatic and edgy characters/plot aspects it's a pretty atmospheric game and still DOES feel like a decent, dark thriller story. It's probably not the best choice for those who are looking for a realistic and serious story but if you like dark topics, an actually interesting mystery and are willing to ignore the plot-holes and unlogical moments then I recommend trying this out!

Could be the only visual novel game that I've actually never had a "this shit is so boring" moment while playing. The voice actors fit the characters really well and are able to show you the real emotion behind the words. The writing is intriguing since there basically aren't any unnecessary scenes and in every scene, something regarding the story's proccess is happening. No matter what you think or predict about the next scene, the game constantly finds a way to get you surprised, either by switching from unrealistic to realistic, or being predictable to a "never let them know your next move" mindset. The music also manages to catch the atmosphere, the emotion and the importance of the scenes. I'd say they made a really good job at doing justice to their "Psychological Horror" tag, not only with the disturbing story that gets more and more unhinged, but also with their storytelling that gets you straight into the story itself.
