Corpse Party Psp English9/25/2020
While, at first, this is more so the case with the bad endings, it eventually gets to the point where the real ending is the one that is cryptic to figure out and is something you could easily get locked out of due to missing certain sequence triggers, thus requiring you to start the entire chapter from the beginning.It creates a intimidating and oppressive atmosphere in addition to a strongly written and endearing cast of characters that you will want to see make it out alive.The only issue with the game was its ending, and said ending is not even that much of a problem since Corpse Party: Blood Drive has given us a much more satisfying conclusion.Also, Corpse Party doesnt have much in terms of gameplay and is basically just an RPG Maker movie (Ala To the Moon or Actual Sunlight ) without RPG Maker and higher production values, so theres not much to talk about there.
It just so happens to be the day before Mayu Suzumoto, one of the eight students who was well respected and friends with most of the school, is about to transfer. Before going home, Ayumi Shinozaki, another of the eight students who has a fascination with the occult and paranormal, suggests to attempt a ritual that will make sure that they will all remain friends forever if they perform it the correct way. However, if they fail to perform the ritual correctly then something bad is said to happen. These guys, being the characters in a horror story that they are, decide to tempt fate and try it anyway. Afterwards they end up in a Heavenly Host Elementary, an ironically named environment that exists outside the real world with no way of leaving. To make things even worse, all eight of the characters are separated from each other and have to deal with the malevolent spirits, lack of food or water, and their own paranoia in order to survive and hopefully find a way out. This allows you to simultaneously get to know your characters whilst witnessing them succumbing to the horrible fates that Heavenly Host has in store. ![]() One would think that a ten hour game starring eight characters would not be able to develop every character to the point where you can sympathize with each one, and to be fair, some characters get more screen time than others, but even the ones with little screen time are interesting, mysterious, and add even more depth to the games atmosphere than it already has. By the end of the first chapter, you will be shown just how brutal this game is and what lengths it will go to shock and disturb you. Almost like Heavenly Host itself, the game will leave a large emotional impact on you by the time you are done with. You will see things that will make you literally stop in the middle of the game and sit there checking to make sure you are still holding a PSP within you hands. There is a saying I recall that goes along the lines of the scariest things are what you cannot see, and Corpse Party invokes this perfectly. It never relies too much on blood and gore to disturb you and never devolves into full blown torture porn. It instead knows full well that what you picture in your mind as a result of the games description is very likely to be much worse than anything they could have shown. At the same time, however, it does know just how much to tell you in order for you to paint that graphic picture. Unfortunately, this only applies to the PSP and 3DS versions since there are no images provided in the PC version. The equivalent to a game over screen in Corpse Party is something that more so resembles a bad ending in any other game seeing as how each unique way that you can get a game over has its own cut-scenes and descriptions as to what is happening. The writers were creative enough that one may find themselves seeking out every possible bad ending just to see what else the game as to offer. Thankfully, the game does keep track of every possible ending for each chapter. If there is one complaint that I have, however, it is that getting some of these endings can be rather cryptic.
