IT’S PARTY TIME! XSEED GAMES INVITES PC GAMERS TO BRAVE THE HORRORS OF CORPSE PARTY, NOW AVAILABLE ON WINDOWS PC
Original
Indie Release Haunts Steam, GOG.com, and Humble Store for the First
Time Outside of Japan with Exclusive Bonus Chapter and Features
Torrance, Calif.—April 25, 2016—XSEED
Games, the independent-minded console publishing brand of Marvelous
USA, Inc., today announced that the much-lauded cult classic horror
adventure, Corpse Party, is now available worldwide for
Windows PC on Steam, GOG.com, and the Humble Store by Humble Bundle with
exclusive content and features. Originally developed as an independent
title by Team GrisGris, and previously released by XSEED Games for the
PSP, Corpse Party is a chilling visual novel-style experience that takes players on a terrifying journey where each step could be their last.
Localized directly from the original independent Windows PC version known as Corpse Party: BloodCovered, which has never been released outside of Japan, this Windows PC release of Corpse Party features
all of the original Windows art and voice-acting, as well as a bevy of
new features exclusive to this version. Among other inclusions, such as
multiple endings and scenes that differ from the PSP and upcoming
Nintendo 3DS releases, this version boasts four bonus chapters on top
of the game’s five main story chapters. One of these is a PC-exclusive
retelling of the “Tooth” story from Corpse Party: Book of Shadows, recreated with added content in classic Corpse Party adventure
style. Players seeking to complete every ending will find that this
version also contains a speedy fast-forward function for seamless
replayability.
Developed by Team GrisGris and published by XSEED Games, Corpse Party is now available on Steam, GOG.com, and the Humble Store by Humble Bundle for $14.99. The Windows PC version of Corpse Party is not rated by the ESRB.
About Corpse Party
In Corpse Party,
players take control of a group of Japanese high school students who
inadvertently engage in a pagan ritual and find themselves inexplicably
transported into a whole other space: an inescapable echo of a
long-since demolished school building where a series of gruesome
murders once took place. They must now evade the grasp of the tortured
souls who roam the halls of the doomed Heavenly Host Elementary, lest
they join the ranks of the dead themselves.
Corpse Party
is presented using crisp 2D sprite graphics in a classic 16-bit style,
brought to life with disturbingly detailed hand-drawn anime-style
portraits and vividly descriptive text. The game's old-school stylings
leave players’ minds prone to wander, providing a uniquely engrossing
horror experience that relies on imagination and immersion to convey an
overwhelming sense of dread and prey upon the player's own deepest
fears. Put on a pair of headphones and Corpse Party becomes
even more terrifying, with creepy background noises and distant voices
that further heighten the terror of the game’s environment.
As players advance through Corpse Party,
they will strive to avoid the game’s more than 20 “wrong ends,” in
which tragedy takes over and one or more characters suffer a grim
demise. Whether buried alive, forced to swallow scissors or cannibalized
by a friend, wrong ends are often as disturbing as they are morbidly
intriguing. To advance through the game, players must reach the one true
ending in each of the game’s five chapters to unlock the next leg of
the journey. The final two chapters then feature multiple true endings
depending on how many characters survive the journey through the haunted
school – and at Heavenly Host Elementary, survival is no easy task.
