Join the Kisaragi High students once again as they relive the unearthly horrors of a cursed school, this time armed with future memories in a vain attempt to alter their own grisly fates. Witness, too, several crucial incidents that occurred during or before the previous games events then, delve deeper into the mysteries of Heavenly Host as survivors from Corpse Party investigate an even more horrifying location in a desperate search for answers. First-person point-and-click adventure style gameplay, binaural 3D audio with original Japanese voices (including reprisals from all main cast members), dozens of endings, a "Darkening" system that slowly distorts both the games visuals and its characters decision-making abilities, and a host of unlockable extras make this a must-play for Japanese horror aficionados and series fans alike.

    Even if the game’s visuals don’t appeal to you and you’ve never tackled any other games in the series, it still warrants investigating. Corpse Party: Book of Shadows’ frequently disconcerting and often bloody payoffs, as well as periodical dollops of psychological horror, make it worth tolerating the game’s less engaging moments.

    Corpse Party: Book of Shadows is, quite frankly, unremarkable. It’s not atrocious enough for me to say that I hated it. I didn’t hate it. If you’re a hardcore fan of visual novels, you might not hate it. However, I certainly wouldn’t recommend that you seek it out.
