Corpse Party: Back to School Edition

About

Corpse Party: Back to School Edition is a horror adventure where a group of high school friends gets stuck in a cursed elementary school after a botched ritual. Players navigate twisted hallways and cryptic classrooms, solving puzzles and uncovering dark secrets to escape. Choices matter heavily, decisions about who to save or trust directly impact who survives and how the story concludes. The Nintendo 3DS version adds touch screen menus, 3D visuals, and expanded scenes that deepen the haunting narrative. This edition polishes the original 2008 cult classic with redrawn art, four new chapters, and a character encyclopedia. Community favorites cite its tense atmosphere and branching paths, which let players see multiple outcomes across five decades of tragedy. With over 100 possible endings and a Metacritic score of 78, it remains a standout in visual novel horror. Released in 2016, it’s the most complete version of a game that helped define the "school-based survival" subgenre.
