About Corpse Party: Book of Shadows

NOTE: This title is a followup to Corpse Party, and thus contains considerable spoilers for that game. If you have not played it, then I beg thee delve farther into these depths at your own risk, dear player!




An anthology series that serves as a Corpse Party sequel, prequel, midquel, and alternate universe tale all in one, Corpse Party: Book of Shadows is a horror/adventure game developed by MAGES. (formerly 5pb. Games) and published under the supervision of the original series creators at Team GrisGris. Corpse Party: Book of Shadows builds upon the events of the first game, exploring or re-exploring past incidents, characters, and points of view, and allowing the player to escape many of the deaths that occurred previously, thus steering them toward all-new (albeit not necessarily better) outcomes.

This PC version updates the original PSP system version’s art to HD and adds full mouse support for authentic point-and-click gameplay, providing the definitive Corpse Party: Book of Shadows experience for series fans who are eager to delve a little deeper into its storied lore.

Before, during, and after the events of Corpse Party—in the canon universe, as well as in several alternate timelines—the students of Kisaragi Academy, Byakudan Senior High, Paulownia High, and Musashigawa Middle School had far more experiences within the cursed halls of Heavenly Host Elementary than the stories typically recount. How would events have unfolded, for example, in a universe where each student went into the Sachiko Ever After ritual with an unconscious awareness of everything that was going to happen to them? What might’ve occurred to Mayu if she’d never interacted with the ghostly children in the school infirmary? What might’ve occurred to Yuka if she’d been caught during the harrowing chase in the second wing? What might’ve occurred to Seiko if Naomi had gotten to the bathroom just a bit earlier?

On the other side of the coin, how did Naho actually get into Heavenly Host, and whom did she come with? What was Tohko’s relationship with Kizami, and how did that result in a lost tooth? And what connection did Ms. Yui have to the cursed elementary school prior to ever taking part in the Sachiko Ever After ritual?

Most crucially, what happened to the survivors of the previous incident after their escape? How did the loss of their friends affect them? And what does all of this have to do with the mysterious tome known as the “Book of Shadows”…?

FEATURES

  • Point-and-Click-Style First-Person Gameplay

    More realistically proportioned and immersive first-person environments bring Heavenly Host to life in all its grim glory, with point-and-click-style “Search Mode” allowing players to scour every inch of every room via keyboard, gamepad, mouse, or any combination thereof…
  • Original Japanese Voiceovers with More 3D Audio Than Ever Before

    Every line of dialogue is spoken in its original Japanese by a who’s who of Japanese voiceover talent, with many crucial scenes recorded in binaural 3D using dummy-head microphones: play with quality headphones or a hi-fi stereo setup to hear the horror coming from all around you, or perhaps from right next to your ear…
  • Dastardly “Darkening” System Leads to Painful Demise

    Characters gradually become frightened and unstable as horrific discoveries are made, distorting the game’s graphics and altering their decision-making abilities; continuing down these darkened paths will result in one of the game’s many dozens of gruesome “Wrong Ends,” all of which are virtually guaranteed to replay in players’ nightmares…
  • Enhanced Focus on Side Characters

    The already robust cast from the original game is further humanized, with a focus on those characters whose screen time may have been lacking before; learn more about your favorite side characters, and find out just what was going on in their heads (before those heads were crushed)…
  • Unlockables, Achievements, and More

    Steam achievements, collectibles, voice cast interviews, music tracks, art stills, and more are unlockable through a variety of means for attentive and detail-oriented players; additionally, those who’ve conquered or even just dabbled in the first Corpse Party will be able to import their save-data to unlock dozens more art stills, and possibly even make the crucial final chapter of the story available to play through a bit sooner than it otherwise would be…

✦ AI summary

Players are divided on Book of Shadows, with some praising its atmospheric horror storytelling, compelling narrative focused on escape from Heavenly Host, and engaging visual novel elements as a worthy sequel. However, numerous reports of significant technical problems including game-breaking bugs, save file corruption, audio/text display issues, and the developer's failure to fix longstanding glitches since 2018 lead many to recommend watching a playthrough instead of purchasing the broken port.

A collection of side stories that fills in the blanks left by the original and answers some of its lingering questions. Unfortunately, those answers are rarely good news. "No way this is another Wrong End, right?" It was.

Played the Corpse Party (2016 Steam or is it 2006 version? I'm not too knowledgeable on that part.) It has a nice story for its time, simple yet thrilling. I went to check out how should I progress from there and landed on Book of Shadows as my second game in the series. ...and I am quite disappointed? Definitely doesn't give a similar vibe to the first game, and I'm not talking about gameplay style changing into the point&click VN type, I don't mind it that much. It says "sequel, prequel, midquel, and alternate universe tale all in one." But it either retells some of the first game, gives two or three alternatives to one of the endings of the first game which is [spoiler] timeloop ending [/spoiler] barely gives some backstory or what's going on. I'm not saying I haven't enjoyed it at all, but I've definitely speed-read the game -which is something I haven't done since meh Dogenzaka otome games- The fanservice in this game is not my cup of tea either. I guess it is a must to understand the series better? At this point I don't know because I still have several games to play. Could be picked up during discount.

Written in a way that elicits a visceral reaction from the reader almost every time. Incredibly gross and unnerving which is exactly what it should be. Okay game, but a good experience.

This game is a great sequel. It gives some insight on the past of a few characters, and shows "what if" scenarios of what happens in the previous game (Corpse Party 2021). The new mechanics are interesting, but not too different from the previous. Said mechanics are similar to Ace Attorney, if you've played that. You're put in an area, made to investigate, and are able to look around or move somewhere else. The prologue to Blood Drive is a very nice decision to add at the end and left me really wanting the game, although it went on a bit too long for my liking. If you've played the first game and liked it, I absolutely recommend this one.
