Corpse Party , known in Japan as Corpse Party Blood covered: ...Repeated fear. (コープスパーティー Blood covered: ...Repeated fear. / コープスパーティーブラッドカバー リピーティッドフィアー) Kōpusu Pātī Buraddo kabā Ripītiddo fiā) is a survival horror adventure game developed by MAGES (5pb.) released for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. It was localized and released on October 20, 2021 by XSEED Games and Marvelous Europe, and also ported to Xbox and PC on Steam, GOG, and the HumbleStore.
It is an enhanced port of the Nintendo 3DS version of Corpse Party. The game features updated graphics, two new characters, two new Extra Chapters, and added voice acting for the previously unvoiced exclusive extra chapters from the Nintendo 3DS version. The Japanese version of the game also supports the English language, something that previous ports didn't have.
Summary[]
Relive the Nightmare...
Welcome to the abandoned and (reportedly) demolished halls of Heavenly Host Elementary School, where vengeful spirits dwell and the fires of corporeal existence are repeatedly and mercilessly snuffed. We hope you enjoy the tour, as it's not about to end anytime soon. It may even last an eternity...
At this accursed school, a series of incidents occurred in which, ultimately, four students were kidnapped...and murdered. And though this occurred 30 years ago, the corpse party still continues to this very day.
Now, at a perfectly ordinary high school, one unlucky class representative with a penchant for telling ghost stories makes the mistake of invoking a forbidden charm known as "Sachiko Ever After." This charm unknowingly serves as an invitation to another space – a shifting, almost sentient echo of the long-closed school wherein these horrific mutilations occurred so long ago.
And once you've been invited to this party, you have no choice but to attend.
Willingly or no, all who find themselves in the dilapidated halls of Heavenly Host must persevere, for their only companions along the way are the mournful spirits of the dead and forgotten...as well as with a few who consider themselves the very arbiters of life and death. Will you remain a guest here forevermore? Or will you have the power to defy the saddest and strongest fate of all...?
Plot[]
Corpse Party revolves around a group of students from Kisaragi Academy, and their homeroom teacher. They perform a charm called Sachiko Ever After as a send-off for one of their classmates who is transferring to another school. However, a massive earthquake occurs after they performed the charm, and they are dragged into Heavenly Host Elementary School. The students appear in completely different dimensions inside the school, separated from one another.
While searching around the school, they find the corpses of the people who were trapped before them, along with the spirits of the deceased. Spirits colored blue are more docile, while red colored spirits are more prone to violence. The students of Kisaragi Academy must avoid traps and fight for their survival while unraveling the mystery behind Heavenly Host, and escape from there.
Gameplay[]
Corpse Party is a linear survival horror adventure game with some role-playing elements. Players take control of a party of characters, either one to five characters, consisting of students Satoshi Mochida, Naomi Nakashima, Ayumi Shinozaki, Yoshiki Kishinuma, Yuka Mochida, Seiko Shinohara, or their teacher Yui Shishido. Players are tasked with exploring the haunted school grounds, reuniting with their classmates, and solving the mystery surrounding Heavenly Host. To accomplish this, characters must interact with the school's environment, such as picking up objects, talking to spirits, and inspecting documents, while avoiding enemy-like entities, particularly the three children spirits.
Playable characters are generally unarmed and are susceptible to dangers. Wrong endings are activated when a character performs an action irrelevant to the main storyline. As the story progresses, the number of possible wrong endings increases, and making full use of the multiple save files is encouraged. These endings force players to be wary of their actions and decisions over the course of the game. Characters also possess Hit Points (HP), much like those found in role-playing games. In two instances, it measures how much damage they can take before dying, triggering a wrong ending when all Hit Points are depleted.

The game centers around students from Kisaragi Academy, along with English/homeroom teacher Yui Shishido trying to evade several threats of other strangers.
