60 of 279 · most liked firstWanted to get the only two Corpse Party titles that released physically in North America. Only played the 3DS game so far but I love the edgelord, melodrama horror story. Dark, violent, trashy fun, and apparently only goes more off the rails in future games!

I’m just a simple woman and the limitations of that engine just happen to force devs to make the exact type of game that i love to play

unlabelledView post →Party of Dead Bodies, Gore and Panties! Eto, seriously way too much panties, unnecessary panty shots, but the game is great bro. Keep in mind if you played the first one, it's not a pixel game like that. This one is a point and click based visual novel with some timers and of course choices matter. Also this is not the sequel it's the prologue or like repetition of the previous title but with alternative endings, I would have preferred the pixel version of the previous one, more entertaining…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Misery porn with a budget" is what I'd say when explaining Corpse Party: Book of Shadows. I bought this game because I love the series and because I was told that this game was an essential, canon that would be necessary in understanding the events in CP2 and CP: BD. As it turns out, that second part was massively exaggerated (more on that at the end) and the first part is now under serious scrutiny. The chilling descriptions and haunting events of the first game have been replaced by gore…

unlabelledView post →I'm not impressed with this. I played the first game, and the summary of this one says "sequel, prequel, midquel, and alternate universe tale all in one." So I bought it, and so far it only been "alternate tales" which still end with the same characters dying. There was a little prequel but honestly wasn't need whatsoever. Also they took away a lot of abilities such as movement, skipping dialogue you've been through, and game play (as it's mostly scene cuts 75% of the time). Just for the…

unlabelledView post →I'm not sure what's wrong. I loved the first Corpse Party, I thought the story was nice and I wanted more. But here... well, I didn't get very far, but so far it seems to be like a retelling of the first game? As in, some characters are aware that this has already happened before, and yet it is happening again. But my main issue was the writing. I don't know what it was about it that I didn't like. The pacing? The style? It was slow, sure. The very first scene contained a discussion of how…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A collection of side stories that fills in the blanks left by the original and answers some of its lingering questions. Unfortunately, those answers are rarely good news. "No way this is another Wrong End, right?" It was.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I tried playing a Corpse Party game and couldn't get into it at all. It seemed like you had to make a lot of decisions with no information and just brute force and try every option to make sure people lived.
unlabelledView post →DISAPPOINTED I’m quite disappointed with this second game after finishing the first one. This installment feels more like a visual novel with only minimal interactive elements; just a bit of searching or clicking on the map to progress the story, and nothing more. The new feature feels unnecessary; it would have been better as a full visual novel rather than incorporating a half-baked mechanic that ends up frustrating. The first game was far superior. Even though unlocking all endings and…

unlabelledView post →If you wanted more of that delightful edgelord doujin flavor from Corpse Party but in the form of seven short stories that don't really go anywhere or contribute to the overall plot of the original game, then Book of Shadows is for you! It also has the prologue for the next game shoved in there, as if to remind you that you bought the wrong one. Disappointing. Not even a single utterance of "Butter Up My Pooper" in this thing at all.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As much as I love Corpse Party series BoS is the weakest installment of them all. Still interesting but just not as good, maybe it was the point&click mechanic that wasn't engaging and got really tedious at times or maybe the really long descriptions that just drag on and on and it's somehow overall not what you expect from the gameplay after the previous game. Will still recommend it if you really like the previous one but you've been warned.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is pretty much an added story to Corpse Party. Too much gore (I've been playing too many horror games where the creator(s) think gross=scary or interesting) and not enough truly scary moments. I'm also not keen on having to get every single ending in each chapter to unlock chapter 8, which is the true sequel moment. Also panty shots. Wtf.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First of all, keep in mind that this game is ONLY a visual novel, with the option to move around the map, which is completely different from the prequel. Now that I've warned about this: - Divine OST - If you like visual novels, you might like to give it a try. - Very good art and voice acting. Also, as a final note, it is highly recommended to play with headphones, this way you can better enjoy the OST, the voices and the sounds.

unlabelledView post →bro i hate this game 😭😭😭 { #mintpix #corpseparty }
unlabelledView post →The stories are pretty good, but they might have been better off sticking purely to the visual novel format. The "gameplay" is just annoying. Seeing the more minor characters get some spotlight is pretty cool, and like in the first game there's lots of gorey bad ends! It's worth your time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ooh, Corpse Party 2 is actually real! There was a single-chapter of a second game, Corpse Party 2: Dead Patient, released many many years ago, but it looks like this takes the hospital setting from that game and kinda starts over? Maybe?? www.youtube.com/watch?v=awKP...
