This is a fantastic remaster of the PSP version of this game, making it the definitive edition to play in my opinion. The setting is one of the game’s strongest elements, anchoring its oppressive atmosphere and psychological horror. The school exists in a twisted alternate dimension, cut off from reality, where time loops, spirits linger, and the architecture itself seems to shift maliciously. The attention to environmental detail - the bloodstains, tattered notes, broken hallways, and eerie silence - is remarkably effective in creating dread. The school isn’t just a backdrop - it’s a character in itself, feeding on suffering and trapping its victims in a cycle of trauma. The narrative weaves a grim, emotional charged story rooted in loss, regret and supernatural vengeance. As the story unfolds across multiple chapters and character perspectives, players uncover disturbing details about the school’s dark history, including the tortured souls of the children who died there and the twisted rituals that keep them bound. The game excels in its layered lore, gradually revealing how the curse operates, who is behind it, and how the characters’ own emotional baggage feeds into the horrors around them. Through scattered notes, ghostly encounters, and multiple branching endings, the narrative paints a bleak picture of how trauma echoes through time. Most chapters offer multiple routes or decisions that can lead to dramatically different outcomes - some progressing the story, others ending in gruesome, often emotionally devastating, failure. These “Wrong Ends” aren’t just filler; they’re a core part of the experience, fleshing out side characters, expanding the lore, or providing chilling what-if scenarios that deepen the horror. The gameplay is simple but tense, mixing exploration, light puzzles, and survival horror. You mostly walk around the haunted school, find items, talk to ghosts, and try to avoid getting killed. There’s no combat, but chase scenes and deadly traps keep you on edge. The old-school, top-down style might feel dated to some, but it adds to the game’s retro horror vibe. That said, it can be frustrating - some puzzles aren’t clear, and the lack of autosave means one mistake can send you back way too far. This game was a very haunting, sometimes frustrating, but ultimately memorable horror experience. Its blend of disturbing storytelling, emotional character moments, and eerie atmosphere makes it stand out, even years after the series began. While its dated visuals and trial-and-error gameplay won’t be for everyone, those who can look past the rough edges will find a chilling story full of mystery, tragedy, and genuinely unsettling moments. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the series, this version offers a solid and expanded way to experience one of the more unique horror titles out there.

Very traumatizing! The story, cast, and voice acting are fantastic. There are tons of endings to explore, and the gore is intense. I had a lot of fun playing this on my Steam Deck (It runs really well). Just don’t play it at midnight if you want to sleep peacefully!

Kept getting wrong end in chapter 1 for 6 hours, looked at a guide. Still got wrong end, did something different and beat chapter 1. Cried as I went to chapter 2, Got lost going around, chat helped me (shout out to croaking) if not i would've been lost and died for a long time :Wheeze: Will recommend to friends to watch them go through the pain like i did.

I had heard of Corpse Party way back when however, like a lot of games inevitably, I never got the chance to get around to it. But what’s a time as ever than the spooky month! Although I would consider Corpse P arty a game, I do have to include the caveat that it’s barely one, far closer to a VN than a normal game, but does the bare minimum that I would consider it a game. Now whether it’s a game or not has no bearing on it’s quality but I’m of the opinion that Visual novels are not games, however games can have heavy visual novel elements, which Corpse Party falls into such category. So if you are looking for some top down shooting or an RPG you’ve come the wrong place. But hey, adventure gamers I’ll take your coat! Corpse Party begins with a bunch of High School students and their homeroom teacher getting together on a school night to practice this weird ritual, for fun. There was always weird things about their school, weird things that you’d wonder why they couldn’t build their high school literally LITERALLY anywhere else. But that’s probably not important. This is also a time of goodbyes, as one of your classmates will have their last day before they transfer. Some tension here, some unrequited feelings there, some...really REALLY weird feelings...somewhere. But enough of the high school drama, onward with this spooky business! This weird ritual is called “Sachiko Ever After”, which would allegedly allow them to stay friends forever no matter where they are. As they did the ritual, something seems to go wrong, and the group is then transported to this nightmare alternate reality version of their school, with deadly ghost and killer traps are abound. The group has been separated, so it’s up to the ingenuity and perseverance of each group to join again once once more, and leave this hellish nightmare before even more things get “separated. But hey, if you can’t make it out, no hard feelings, eh? Corpse Party is more in line with an adventure game, having you find items to access different rooms, solve puzzles, and while you’re at it running from the murderous ghost trying to rip you apart. The game is split up into five chapters. Each chapter has one true ending, and several “wrong ends” that have someone being brutally butchered. They don’t call it Corpse Party for nothing. The gameplay is pretty basic, and even the AI of the ghost that chase you is fairly laughable. I wouldn’t really play this game to be challenged in anyway as you’re really just here for the story. The puzzles themselves are fairly simple with what you’re supposed to do usually being pretty straightforward (but not ALWAYS so, don’t want to name any Nurse’s Offi- I mean names). At most you will be looking for where to go, which I feel the game could be better at informign you about as I did spend a lot of time walking aimless through those creepy halls looking for story progress. It ultimately wasn’;t that bad though. But fear not in thinking that this is wanton slaughter, as there is an underlying and quite detailed mystery underlying this ghoul school. I try to make my reviews spoiler free so I can’t really go further in it without breaking that rule, but I should say that I felt that the first 3 or so chapters felt a bit too “meandery” for my liking as you don’t really get into the real meat of the story until Chapter 4 or 5, with that same meat being spread pretty thin in the first 3 chapters, like you’re eating a cheap TV dinner. There is also an issue in which in order to get the full extent of the plot, you will have to view the extra episodes, in which you will see flashbacks of the past and what other characters got up to while the main story focus most of the initial cast. Generally didn’t really like this as if you just focus on the chapter stories a lot of story arcs and “Character whereabouts” feel pretty anticlimactic. At the time of this review I have not reviewed the Extras episodes, but will do so in the future. Corpse Party has a lot of spinoffs and sequels, and the canonicity of aspects of them (and even entire games) and called into question. I thought the game ended pretty well ignoring the unresolved things but apparently they get further touched upon in Book of Shadows, a game of essentially Extra chapters I hear. Take that what you will. All in all, an interesting story. Port was good and I had no complaints besides wishing the game would let you see the dialog log during cut scenes. Understand though that in a lot of ways it’s not wholly straightforward, so in order to understand everything you’ll have to do a little digging.
