    Corpse Party is a pretty good mix of a visual novel and survival-horror games. While the gameplay itself can get a little dull at times as you wander the halls of the school and try to interact with just about everything, the story is rather enjoyable and unique. Wear some headphones and turn out the lights to complete the experience.

    In the end, Corpse Party is an enjoyable, well thought out and engaging experience. It does take on a bit of a slower pace but if you are a fan of Visual Novels, then this will be perfect for you.

    Don’t skip the dialogue, investigate everything properly, and experience Corpse Party in its full glory.

    The theme of a bunch of teenagers roaming a school haunted by tormented souls trying to kill them may limit the mass appeal of this game, but for the niche audience this type of game speaks to, it is very well done.

    Corpse Party for steam is not the best version out there. It has the same core details as that from the PSP version however it falls flat by not having the scare factor that was present for blood drive. It shows its age with very basic game mechanics but for the love of the characters, music and story I would say any fans of the horror genre or anyone looking to disturb themselves a bit definitely pick this up.

    Corpse Party is a good survival horror game with some flaw.

    I like Corpse Party a lot, just not as a game. Its strong storyline and polished aesthetics would have made it a great visual novel, but the clunky gameplay drags it down from being great to just good. Gameplay is the be all and end all of any game that isn't a visual novel/graphic adventure after all, and in that regard, Corpse Party is a disappointing experience.

    Version favoritism aside, Corpse Party does a good enough job with the technology to deliver an interesting and thoroughly Japanese story of tragedy, murder, and the paranormal.

    As a horror experience, Corpse Party is absolutely mandatory, and should be experienced in whatever platform that is available to you.

    With the 3DS port of the remake coming out soon, there is no reason to pick up the Steam version of Corpse Party unless you're a hardcore fan of the series. There are simply better ways to play this title.

    Corpse Party is a faithful port of the original PC version, but that's not enough when the PSP remake added so much more to the experience. The extra chapters are a nice addition, though, and make it a decent buy for diehard Corpse Party fans. Just don't expect to be scared.

    Amazing quality. A lot of thought was put into keeping as close to the original intent as possible. Particularly impressed by the realisticAmazing quality. A lot of thought was put into keeping as close to the original intent as possible. Particularly impressed by the realistic audio effects, soundtrack and narrative. Worth a purchase if you're not a fan of particularly gory horror games. Definitely psychologically harrowing though, even without as much of the gore as the original.… Full Review »
