Corpse Party (PC, 3DS)


Quite unexpectedly for an old horror game, ports of Corpse Party (which you may have played years ago on PSP) have been announced for both PC and 3DS.

First, the Windows PC version of Corpse Party will be on Steam, GOG, and the Humble Store in under two weeks. It will have four bonus chapters in addition to the five story chapters, one of which goes over Corpse Party: Book of Shadows’ “Tooth” story, as well as additional scenes and multiple endings. A fast-forward function is available, to make getting the extra endings quicker. It will be $14.99 when it’s released on April 25.

Then, this summer, the Nintendo 3DS will get its own version of Corpse Party. It will be available digitally through the Nintendo 3DS eShop for $29.99 and in a physical $49.99 Back to School Edition.

The Nintendo 3DS version of also has original content exclusive to this edition of the game. There are four Extra Chapters that follow more minor members of the cast. Also, it’s a remastered version with high-resolution, redrawn character sprites, rearranged music, and 3D still art.

I never noticed until now, but the girl on the cover art for this game really reminds me of Luna from Virtue's Last Reward. XD
