Love this game, though I will say the remake of it is certainly better graphic and game play wise in addition to likely having more content. However, the game itself is still lovely and certainly worth the price. Corpse Party is my all time favorite single-player horror game and I played both this version and the 2021 re-make. I also plan to play all of the other games in the series and can't recommend it enough.

I never had so much to say about a game in a review, but here we go.... Wow, where do I even begin? "Corpse Party" has truly captured my attention in ways I didn’t expect. From the moment I started playing just a few days ago, it’s been on my mind. The story is one of the game’s strongest elements, crafted to keep you hooked. The narrative unfolds with a sense of urgency and dread that pulls you deeper into its web of mystery and horror. The characters are well-developed, each adding their own unique aura to the drama. Their personal stories and interactions are interesting, making you genuinely care about their fates. The game goes above and beyond with suspense and the unknown, ensuring that you remain on the edge of your seat throughout. However, it’s important to mention a downside: I was able to get the true endings in most chapters with ease on my first attempt; however, Chapter 5 proved to be a challenge. The specific requirements and actions of this chapter were frustrating. Without a guide, I would have been stuck on Chapter 5 for days. Despite having to use a guide, "Corpse Party" remains a fantastic and memorable experience. Its ability to deliver a gripping and horrifying narrative is impressive, and it’s clear that a lot of care went into crafting its unsettling atmosphere. For anyone who enjoys a good horror story with a strong emotional core, this game is definitely worth playing. I rate it an 8/10

Love the way the story was made, for me the best part is always the visual of the characters, because i don't see this style of character design anymore, makes me nostalgic.

Corpse Party is a survival and psychological horror adventure game about a group of students in a Japanese high school, who perform a friendship ritual after class to bid a friend farewell who's going to be transferring schools. After performing the friendship ritual, they are thrown into a hellish and mind-breaking alternative reality that they want to escape from, together. It is a 10/10 game and it's unforgettable. If anyone's unsure of the order to play the games: Corpse Party > Book of Shadows > Sachiko's Birthday Bash > Blood Drive > Corpse Party 2 The story and narrative, the game play, the subtle choices you make and how they can severely impact the story, the iconic soundtrack and the pure psychological torture it immerses you into is incredible. It is a deeply thought out and deeply distressing game, and although you play as all the characters in this group throughout the chapters, you really begin to care about them quickly. They are all unique. It's not afraid of pulling you into the depth of human depravity and mental hopelessness in such a compelling way. (Tw- child mutilation and torture, murder, abuse, visceral and hopeless portrayals of mental states, graphic suicide. ) It's heavy, hard hitting without letting up and heart-wrenching. I found a lot of the narrative and feeling relatable, especially the characters mental states throughout the trauma. Each character is extremely well fleshed-out and I loved playing as all of them. This game does have a lot of dark imagery and thoughts in it, so if you are suffering from depression etc and feel that playing a game that delves deeply into very heavy subjects and thinking would impact you, I would say you should skip this one. Absolutely fantastic story and game. I highly recommend it. The story is amazing and the gameplay is amazing too. I have not played the remastered version, so I can't comment on that, but this is a must-have for people who are into the genre. The game play can be challenging at times but the pay-off is big, considering every action you make contributes to the story, narrative and ending. Make sure you take your time with exploring, and remember that every action matters! There is one 'True Ending' to this game, with many 'Wrong Endings' and they are all great to unlock. There are also extra bonus chapters that can be unlocked with your game play. Note: I don't know if others had this problem but clicking the logo to open the game never worked. I went to my folders, then steam apps, and then opened it manually from there to start it. Apart from that, it runs perfectly. It's hard to pick a favourite character because I love them all.
