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.

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.

I normally start off my review with a story based on my own real life experiences.. well the fantasy situations I wished happened in my real life,, while this was going to be much of the same.. I had a completely awesome story about how I would kidnap corpses, dress them up and then walk them around town.. The night would end with me going ham on the body. Although in hind sight I thought that wouldn't' be the best introduction.. I mean some things just aren't funny, and one of those things are in the words of Borat "sexy time" with a corpse isn't one of them.. I mean I could have gone full on Jeffery Dahmer, maybe took it a little old school with Albert Fish, but I didn't want to go too far,, and ultimately this game has no necrophilia so it would have been out of place. Instead I'm going to focus solely on the game and ignore the schnanigans of my past reviews.. Corpse Factory is a visual novel, although you could have gotten that by simply looking at the steam store page. It's a visual novel which touches on some really serious topics, mental illness, suicides, murder, death, body snatching... unfortunately not a single case of necrophilia but if you squint your eyes and look at it from the right hand side maybe.. Actually in all fairness this game has no sex or violence or nudity, but you do get a nice little drawing of side cleavage near the end of act 1. Story - The story is set in Tokyo although in all honesty it could be in any metropolitan area. The story is broken up into a few acts, if I remember correct it's five, the prologue, the Epilogue, Act 1, Act 2, and Act 3. The game features three different point of views, four if you include the prologue character. The overall story revolves around a website called Corpse Girl, it's a website that lets you request the death of someone for any reason... all you need is a photo and a telephone number.. Before the victim dies they receive a photo of their dead body with a time stamp.. Sound good so far, the visual novel is a great read. Although you'll have to ignore certain aspects of realism in order to enjoy it.. Game play - you know the routine,, click click click... fap, fap... oh wait, this game isn't one of those games. The game features five or six choices if I recall correctly. Each choice contributes to one of the three endings. The story isn't really different enough to warrant three different play troughs, just just skip unseen text after the first play through and you're golden pony boy.. assuming you want all the achievements.. Pro's Beautifully crafted story Lots of twist and unexpected turns.. Fairly lengthy took me about 5 - 6 hours to finish the game once Vast majority of the story is voiced exceptionally well (voice actors listed on store page Great attention to the detail Easy 100% in about 6 - 7 hours Con's police are completely useless in the game, ignore any semblance of realism with the police Three different endings, Epilogue remains unchanged in spite of your choices Choices are kind of pointless as they really change nothing Recommendation Well this game or VN if you will, is well written, tells a neat and interesting story, and touches on some real world issues. Reading through it will leave the reader fulfilled, if you enjoy VN"s for reasons other then seeing pixalated bewbs then this will be one of the better ones out there.. It gets extra points for actually being easy to 100%, it doesn't force you to play through 12,000 times and lots of guess work for that +1. If you like reading it'll scratch that itch.. If you enjoy making your e-peener grow, this will scratch that itch. So I'd say, buy it, enjoy it, and review it.

The story is gripping and intriguing. The characters are equally beautiful and interesting (especially Tomoe).
