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.

Full disclosure about this; I did use the mod that makes the game have the old animation and voice actors. Although that's the case, I still recommend giving this game a try. However, if you have a connection to the older games, anime, etc., then I suggest looking into the mod in order to get the original animations. Nonetheless, the old graphics are classic, while the new character art is... a downgrade to say the least. The voice acting too, for most if not all the characters, greatly suffers from the new remaster. If you don't know what the original stuff looks and sounds like, this probably won't make a huge difference to you. The music is classic and I enjoy the changes through different areas and chapters. The immersion of being in the school is great and there were genuine moments of nervousness and suspense not only from me, but from the friends watching too. The gameplay is fun enough, exploring and finding bits and pieces of lore throughout is great. It ran mostly smoothly, it crashed one single time early on, but didn't again. It did buffer occasionally, where the controlled character would pause briefly mid walk, but that might have been due to me streaming the game to friends. Grinding is only really a thing if you want to see all the endings. My advice for that would be to save MULTIPLE SAVE POINTS throughout, so you don't have to replay entire chapters. The story and the lore within it are super interesting. In my opinion however, $20 seems a little steep for this game i 2024. Especially since the recorded average time spent on it is about 10 hours (main story). I got it on sale and think it's a good game to snag when that's the case (like now).
