Corpse Party 2021 Key Features
- Atmospheric Retro-Style Graphics: 16-bit-style visuals based on the original indie game’s designs paired with gruesome descriptions and heart-pounding sound design will have players’ imaginations running wild with visions of horror.
- Adventure-Style Gameplay Where Every Choice Counts: As a cross between a point-and-click adventure game and a battleless RPG, Corpse Party lets players explore every corner of Heavenly Host Elementary and make choices that significantly change the course of the story and its characters’ fates.
- New Extra Chapters Add to the “Fun”: 2 original Extra Chapters expand on the relationship between series favorites Ayumi and Yoshiki, as well as introducing Miku Shirayume and Ryoka Iwami, 2 brand new characters with their own intriguing roles to play in the grisly legend of Heavenly Host Elementary.
- Innovative Sound Design: Listen to the fully voiced Japanese audio and enjoy another level of immersion thanks to binaural 2D recording techniques that create a simulated surround sound experience for headphone users for another dimension in horror.
The PS4™, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch releases of the game have been rated “M for Mature” by the ESRB; the PC release has not been rated.
